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.

@sprocket75 - you mean these?

They're ridiculously cheap, but most are hybrids and I only like set amps.  I can't imagine they sound too good at their price points, but it would funny if it sounded decent.  I might buy one and send it to my solid-state audiophile buddy as practical joke.

I've been trying a Rockna Wavedream dac for the last few days. This thing is all kinds of awesome. It totally obliterates the Yggdrasil and Directstream dacs I had been using. Super high resolution and not a trace of digital glare. Nice natural, organic sound. The Ulfberhts have great synergy with it.

Congrats 333jeffrey, I found the same type performance with the Concert Fidelity DAC. I didn't realize just how much of a difference a DAC could make. I had the Yggy and Perfectwave DAC previously and as good as they are they don't compare to the smooth, organic and realistic sound of the Concert Fidelity. Looks like you've found the same in the Rockna.
