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.

Assuming that the surround has just separated from the driver cone, and not ripped the cone off with it, it is a 10 second job to re-glue it on.

I highly recommend this speaker glue: Speaker Repair Adhesive, Foam Kits, Recone Kits, Speaker Grill Cloth, MI-3035 (simplyspeakers.com)

Great! Thanks for the recommendation! It has only become unglued for a couple of inches and there is no tear in the cone. I was hoping that the proper glue would fix it. I will order the adhesive you recommended. The speakers are currently in a PODS container awaiting delivery to our future home, so I won't be able to try this for a few months. I'll report back at that time on how it went!

Hi lpretiring,

Do you know the specific drivers that Eric uses? It would be great to have a list for off the shelf replacements. Thanks!

I know Eric would use different tweeters and crossover components. One reason he stated was based on availability. I'm unclear on the history of the woofers. 
Perhaps someone else can chime in on early woofers in the D.I's.

Thanks, since the 5 year warranty will expire on mine in late November, I'm trying to be proactive in case of component failure.
