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.

Nah, let it all out. What's the fun in not speaking your mind on an anonymous internet forum?

@csmgolf  If you want to hear the speakers simply buy them and audition them. Hell, I'll pay the return shipping costs myself if you don't keep them.

You know, about 80 pages ago I said that the return shipping charges would be worth the fun of playing with a new toy for a month.  More importantly, and also noted before more than once, has been what's stated above.  I can't imagine auditioning a speaker in an unknown environment and having confidence it will sound great in my room.  Your room has far greater impact on the end result than many other changes we make in our gear.  So what's the big problem here.  Unless you live near a dealer (few of us do) that stocks the gear you want, it's not like you're going to pack them up and return them locally. No, your going to ship them back.  Tekton in hardly unique in this regard.

In addition to everything that has been stated, arrangements can also be made for in home pick up in the event the speakers are to be returned to Tekton.

There is an old saying "you can't please all the people all the time."
