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.

@teajay  Terry, thank you for sharing your thoughts on today's listening session. Your comparative points between the two versions of the Ulfberths are helpful! I've got to make that trip to Chicago and hopefully have the chance to listen to both of your systems. 

Any word on whether you will be getting one of the newer versions / variants in for a review within your space and system?

Very interesting results that were a bit surprising to me.

Just got a pair of the last Emotiva XPA-1s with the 60 watts of class A transforming to up to 1000 watts of class A/B. The sound/match with my DIs is riveting.

Have you heard this (older) Emotiva amp? It was their standard for years and they are just now abandoning its older, very heavy technology. No more are available.

Since it has huge amounts of 4 ohm power wonder how it would fare with the Ulfberhts. Eric told me he was using these a year or so ago.

Is this the name for the "mini-ulfberht?" Looks very interesting, like the size, and am wondering about a 11" woofer...

My take on the ULF/ULF BE’S. I Have heard both Teajay’s and Ezar’s systems, to my ears the Ulf Be’s are better in every important category. Guys I hate to say this but if you can’t afford to move up this high just keep your Se’s. The Ulf’s are very good but they are a minor step up this is Major and can truly compete with the very best out there. I can’t speak for Mike Wright but he totally agrees with me.
