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.

Congrats aniwolfe, I agree with Kenny that you'll most likely be very pleasantly surprised.

stfoth, I've had my listening position as close as 6' from the DI's with very good results. My DI's are 6' apart and I now have my listening position about 8' away. The DI's allow for a lot of latitude with regards to positioning, room size and listening position.

Ok,
You guys asked for Pics.
Here you go.
Keep in mind , I know the paneling is ugly, BUT, I keep it pretty dark down here. You really do not see it normally like it shows in in the pics, because of the flash.
I really hoped for the Grilles, but they are on Backorder.
I told the wife Thursday , about the speakers ,when I asked her to help me go pick them up from Fedex office . because they were due on Friday But, they got here a day early .
She wasn’t real happy, BUT , when I get the grilles I think she will be ok.
LOL. I am still alive.
Hurry on the Grilles ,ERIC....PLEASE

So far they sound good . I cannot make a judgement yet.
Its really funny that they sound more similar to the speakers i had there, than they  sound differently. I still need more time on them .Only 20 hrs or so for now. 
I had the Source Technology 2268 but upgraded the mid drivers  to the  SEAS Excel W18EX-001 (E0017) 7" magnesium Cone Woofer.
from the SEAS Prestige ER18RNX (H1456) 7" Reed Paper Cone Woofer
