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.

I will anxiously await your receiving and listening to the Electrons. I have been procrastinating over which Tekton to eventually order for my winter place in Florida. I won't be there until December, so I haven't attempted to communicate with Eric as of yet. I also have a small room there....11x11. I'm concerned the DIs size will be a problem as well as dealing with its' abundant weight. The Electrons seem to be a safer bet. I'm still not sure what the sonic differences are. I presently have Zu Superflys in the Florida space with a small subwoofer. I'm using a Dennis Had Inspire amp which will drive the Tektons as well. I assume I wouldn't need a sub with either Tekton....I don't listen at loud volumes. My "taste" can probably be best described as a Koetsu lover....going back to the earliest incarnations.
I am definitely leaning towards the Electrons for my  11x11 space in Florida....won't be there until December, so I can continue to procrastinate. The 8" woofers seem to be a plus. There was a comment (not sure which thread it was on) that stated the height is now 48 inches, rather than the listed 46. Has the weight increased as well? The 62 pounds is more inviting than the 107 for the DIs.
Charles,
I agree, but I addressed the question to Terry because he lists the Sophias as part of his arsenal of amps in his latest review.
