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.

Does Eric use fiberglass stuffing in his speakers?

As I recall I believe that is the case.  Curious why you ask.

Anyone have a chance to hear the Tekton Nebo yet? Looks like a cross between the Moab and the DI. Very intriguing.  The review that I could find called it a "super charged" DI, but the DI was already the most dynamic speaker I've ever heard! You think if I love the DI it would absolutely be a given I would love the Nebo more?

I emailed Eric several years ago about a design just like the Nebo.  At the time he thought it redundant with some of his other designs.

One thing for sure.  This guy is obsessed with creating new speakers.

I am sure the Nebo sounds great.  Most all of his speakers do IMO.  Is it more dynamic than the DI?  Not so sure of that.  But it may excel in other areas.

I know this is an old thread but I'm wondering if y'all are still liking your Tektons?  If you moved on, what did you move on to, and how do they compare?  I'm having trouble deciding between DI's, Revel F208, Wharfedale EVO4.4, or Dynaudio Evoke 50.
