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.

Thanks to this long thread, I ordered and received my DIs a couple of days ago. They replace a pair of B&W 805D3 + REL T5. I am driving the DIs with a PrimaLuna Prologue Premium Integrated (Chord 2qute DAC). They are definitely a very different beast than the B&W. I never liked the hotness of the high frequencies on the B&W, but I got used to it and now it feels like the DIs tweeters are not as good. I am loving the mid-low frequencies, and I know that the speakers still have to be broken in.

Any suggestion on the placement? Distance from the back wall? Distance between them? Toe-in or not? I will experiment (it is part of the fun), but I would appreciate hearing about your experience.
