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.

I had actually shelved one a couple of months ago, but was thinking a pair of these caps in series would be perfect for the B+!

Wondering if anyone had to wait for their DI grills a long time, got used to the sound of the speaker without covers, then got the covers and noticed the sonic change. If so, what were the differences?
Well, am only interested a little, actually...
Am posting to see if I get lucky and this becomes the 4000 post on the thread. Getting close, I see....
...OH and BTW, don't forget to check your DI speaker screws after shipment. They tend to get loose in transit.

Hi Aric,
 If you were commissioned to build a cost no object SET amplifier,  for the power supply would you prefer for ultimate sound quality
1.  High quality electrolytic caps with film bypass cap or
2.  Film caps exclusively (No electrolytic at all) ?
In the signal path, very high quality coupling capacitors or an interstage transformer?  I imagine a good case could be made for either. 
As I've said before I appreciate your insight.
Thanks, 
Charles

Would you guys quit talking over my head? :) While I don't know the differences in the different types of caps you're talking about it sure makes for interesting reading and I'm learning more all the time. 

Aric, I keep forgetting that you're a speaker designer with all we've done together involving amps and preamps. Since I love the look of the giant Duelund caps so much I think I'll make some faux ones to put on my crossover board and use less expensive caps that are actually wired to the speakers....or better yet I'll make my external crossover box look like a huge Duelund cap!
