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.

@corelli , saw your post dated a year ago but it resonated with me. I was 15, the year was 1975, in high school, and like you I put together my first high-end system (by mail-order) from The Stereo Warehouse in San Luis Obispo, CA. What made me feel compelled to post this was the gear was similar to yours: a Pioneer SX-737 receiver, Electro-Voice speakers, a BIC belt-drive TT, a Shure cart. Yes, it was quite a system for a high-school kid. I had worked all summer before and saved about $800 at age 14. The system cost almost $700, delivered to a little town in Texas. Wonderful memories.
