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.

IMO, the DI, especially the SE, would be the perfect tool to assess all aspects of upstream components. Reading about listener’s nuanced experiences about supporting gear is a testament to the level of transparency that Tekton has achieved.

I agree jcarcopo, I really am glad I bought my Impact monitors and this thread helped me decide. The talk of ridiculously priced cables, crossover parts etc takes away credibility of the posters who praised the speakers. And yes I tried some expensive to me stuff and walked away feeling scammed mostly.

@laaudionut Brian, Thanks for sharing your journey with preamps in your system. It’s wonderful hearing from another very happy Aric Audio customer! I’m sure you are looking forward to your custom preamp and I, for one, would love to read a detailed comparison between Aric’s linestages and what they brought to your system vs the XP-20.
