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.

Charles ,
I agree.
Because of the previous speakers I had to use amplifiers with great control basów- xpr1 are outstanding.
However, I added a pre McInosh C2500 to add tube character. It seems to me (including my friends who listened to my system), the effect is great.
I think I will venture,
I'm starting over again chasing the bunny :)

Hello
This is my first post, but for several months I read the reviews on DI. I guess I'm determined to buy, but I live in Europe and I know that it is buying a one-way;) I wonder whether it will be well with the amp and pre- emotiva Xpr1 ,McIntosh C2500

Corelli,
I am afraid of this :(
I am currently using Jamo 909, and I think these speakers are very natural and spacious, but it pulls me to try something new ;)

My DI are already in the customs office. They contacted me and informed that you need a certificate of conformity (European Union regulations). I emailed Eric to send me such a certificate. I hope that is;)

 jcarcopo -Thank you . I am already in contact, I hope for a positive solution of the case. I think I found a bureaucrat at the customs office.

hey guys - the case settled favorably:) Duty and tax paid and received speakers with ease.
First impressions are very, very positive - for 100-200 hours will surely be even better - great speakers :)

Hello gentlemen
It took 30 hours of listening DI.
These speakers are phenomenal. For four years I listened Jamo 909  and say that DI is better for me. The only thing that is an asset Jamo a deeper bass (but it is quite slow) Jamo 909 is a dipole design, and it is difficult to directly compare, but the general impression is that the DI are more musical and direct. It is an excellent vocals, piano and guitar. I wonder if 30 hours is enough to reach the speakers (I think a little bit about bass), though for me is great.

How many hours are needed to break the final speaker DI ? From my experience, after ten hours he improved significantly - relaxed sound. What you have your own experience?

I also replaced the lamp on the Gold Lions (McIntosh C2500) - the sound is more detailed, lively - add a little sparkle ;)
