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.

Someone suggested to listen to the DI's on YOU TUBE which I just did.  It would be great if a couple of more people could do the same.  I know it is not perfect but it does give you a good idea on how they sound.  

I know Eric has always been anti grill cover.  With this size and possible going in my great room the only way I could accomplish that with my wife is to have grill covers.  Can you get grill covers for these speakers?  If so, can you get in a color other than black.  I am thinking about Mercedes Silver in an automotive finish with a silver grill.  

My plan would be to buy these and compare them to the Wilson Audio Duette 2's that I have.  Whatever sounds better i keep.

I have a pair of Wilson Audio Duette 2's that I absolutely love. It is powered by a Raven Integrated Reflection MK2 amp which produces fantastic sound.  I was intrigued by this conversation and was going to buy the DI's for fun to compare to the Duette 2's.  But now with the Ulf's that is a different story.  At $12k I would have to sell my Duette's.  Obviously the size comparison is monumental.  If you have the experience, what high end speakers would you compare the Ulf's to.  Another reason I am considering the Uhf is that I have a ginormous room.  What speakers did you have before the Ulfs ( not counting the DI).  Is there anyway you could post a video to You Tube?

Does anyone know the size and cost of the mini Ulf's?
