Tekton Double Impacts


Anybody out there heard these??

I have dedicated audio room 14.5x20.5x9 ft.  Currently have Marantz Reference CD/Intergrated paired to Magnepan 1.7's with REL T-7 subs.  For the vast majority of music I love this system.  The only nit pick is that it is lacking/limited in covering say below 35 hz or so.  For the first time actually buzzed the panel with an organ sacd. Bummer.  Thought of upgrading subs to rythmicks but then I will need to high pass the 1.7's.  Really don't want to deal with that approach.

Enter the Double Impacts.  Many interesting things here.  Would certainly have a different set of strengths here.  Dynamics, claimed bottom octave coverage in one package, suspect a good match to current electronics.

I've read all the threads here so we do not need to rehash that.  Just wondering if others out there have FIRST HAND experience with these or other Tekton speakers

Thanks.

Much thanks for the comments about what kind of speaker stands are being used and benefits. I will checkout the various suggestions. Under my previous Martin Logans speakers I used a combination of Mapleshade plinths and Star Sound Technology Audio Points. But the DIs are too tall for that combination.
Just giving kudos to whoever suggested setting up the Double Impacts so the alignment of the speaker cones crossed about 1 foot in front of the listening position. So far I have owned the DIs for over a year and have no plans to replace them. The more I fine tune my system...the better appreciation I have for the capabilities of the DIs. I kept my prior speakers for 11 years until I got the DIs so these will probably be my last speaker.
I am using a Linear Tube Audio preamp (MZ2) and amplifier (Ultralinear) to feed my DIs. I am highly satisfied with the result. In particular, the detail, dynamics, tonal balance and soundstage seem natural.
