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.

In Jefferys defense, we all have stuff we have to work around, whether it be because the room is dual purpose, because our wives want it a certain way, or whatever.
I happen to need to place my speakers both near a front wall and one of them near a side wall with the other not near a side wall, so that they will have different sound properties. That's just the way it is. Before I purchased, I ran it by Eric and even sent him pictures. He assured me it would be ok. I figure if the guy that actually designed the speakers said it was ok, it's probably ok. He has forgotten more about speakers than I've ever known.
My situation is this. No matter what speakers I buy, they are going to pretty much have the same constraints. So I can say "I have constraints and can't put them in an optimum placing, so I should buy speakers that aren't very good because the sound will be messed up anyway", or I can buy some great speakers that might be compromised by the placement but at least start out at a much higher floor and therefore, since both will be compromised from perfect placement, I'll still get better sound than I would have with other speakers because they will be in the same place anyway.
That was long, and I might have confused myself.... :-)

Yeah, see? How could Jeffrey *not* be offended? It would have been better to ask, "Hey, Jeffery, that's pretty close to the walls; how is your sound? Have you considered placing them in other places in your room, or are you even able to?"

Futher dialog ensues. 

Personally, I wouldn't be offended, yet I would start second-guessing the hell out of my audio sanity! 

Of course playing devil's advocate here, David, myself and Bullitt, have all heard from Eric and he's always said yes to any room placement, right? Well, one could say, "Of course he would say that! He wants to sell speakers!"

I'm not saying that's the case, nor that Eric would lie, but taken at face value the devil has the most radient face of them all. :-)
