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.

A lot of DI owners are just smiling right now. 

Just finished listening to a Schumann Carnaval recording/Naxos/Giltburg.
This is THE BEST piano reproduction I have ever heard in my home.  The clarity, air, weight, and coherence are just fantastic.
Kenny, me thinks you will have to work very hard to not love this speaker.

Just the same, I am eagerly waiting for the Triple Impact.

Thoughts, recommendations on synergistic DACs to pair with the Double Impacts?

Or put another way, what would your top three choices be, given your system / preferences? Current or wished for.

I've had my DI's since early Jan, I know Eric mentioned in a previous post that the upgrades were available from the beginning but for whatever reason I was not made aware of them. How would one go about the upgrade? My boxes were demolished in shipping, plus I wouldn't want to ship them off and take a chance of damage plus the $$ involved.
@mac48025 Another Detroit DI owner here as well.

David,
I am using the PS Audio Perfectwave DAC and transport and think they sound awesome with the DI's. I also have the good ole California Audio Labs Sigma tube DAC and Delta transport and while not quite up to the Perfectwave standard they are quite close. Before the Perfectwaves I had the Schiit Yggdrassil which is an amazing sounding DAC, especially for the money.

hockeyme,
im not sure I'd bother with the upgrades if I were you. Like you my boxes were beat up by Fedex but it sounds like they ship them palletized by freight now. You're welcome to hear mine with the upgrades but in a different room with different components it will be difficult at best to know what to attribute any sound differences to. There will be three DI owners that I know of in Motown soon as someone that came to hear mine is saving up to order a pair.
