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.

Maybe yours got lost in the mail? I just looked in my playboy and it clearly states on page 69 that orgasmic and natural sound must not lack any detail.

RIP Hugh Hefner
I need a tissue.

Note: SwiftKey, on my phone,  autocorrected playbook to playboy.  So I went with it.

I think you can have detailed,  organic,  and natural sound. One shouldn't have to compromise on anything.

I know you can have detailed,organic natural sound because I'm listening too it right now.

Yes RIP Hugh.

I hope I'm still listening to music at 91.

I don’t sense that anyone is suggesting that "natural/organic " and detail are incompatible or an either/or proposition. I agree with Sbayne, by definition if it’s truly natural then detail is present, alive and well.

I do accept the premise that tipped up, bright and analytical leaner character can be misidentified as superior detailed information. Also people may use the same terms but apply different meaning to them. The audio vocabulary isn’t strictly established, so interpretation will vary. I by no means equate rolled off, soft or gratuitous warmth with organic.

I need some help...the vocals seem to be coming from the floor centered.  No stands yet but they're literally dead center on the groumd.  I've reversed polarity at the speakers and no change
