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.

Just submitted my order for a pair of Electrons this afternoon.   Cautiously hopefull.  Would have loved a pair of double impacts, but their visual/size dominance is just too much for my room.  Praying the Electron will approach the level of play reported here.

Kenny, I am not sure....which is pretty wild that I just spent 3k on a product that I have never heard, never seen in person, and I'm not even sure of the woofer size.....  I emailed tekton a few times hoping to engage in a conversation contrasting the sound of the DI with electron given the smaller sized transducers and cabinet.  However they never replied.  So, will wait and see what arrives.  I bought the upgraded electron package so hopefully it has the best possible woofer.  Anyone have an idea on how long it takes them to ship?

Aniwolfe, thanks so much for the information.   I just replied to the billing receipt email asking for confirmation on the 8 inch drivers and shipping estimate.  Really psyched to get these.

LP, thanks for the heads up on your wait for electron.  I asked for a ballpark shipping date and they responded but only said they have been very busy but that I am in line.  So from what I gather the Electron is still being developed.   Does anyone know if any Electrons have ever shipped?  Anyone every hear them?  I agree with you that Eric getting them right in design is the priority.   A few extra weeks are not a big issue to me.

Double impact owners, how far from the speakers have you listened and still found them great?  Would 7 to 8 feet away be too close?

Excellent to hear, thanks much for the respone.  The DI would be visually dominant and out of preportion in my room I think but if the Electron does not work out good to know the DI would sound good in my room.
