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.

robt22 check out GIK Acoustics website for help with your room.You can upload pics and dimentions of your room and they will help you figure it out.No obligation to buy anything and a generous return policy of you decide to try some treatments.
If you're interested in trying tubes consider trying a preamp first to get a taste of that tubey magic:)+1 for Aric Audio.Email Aric sometime and discuss your requirements.He's a super nice guy and never pressures you to purchase.
Something to try with your speakers is to toe  them in quite a bit so the direct sound is crossing about a foot in front of the sweet spot.Good luck and enjoy!

+2 for Aric Audio! His gear is first rate, and his client service is equally great. I have the original Motherlode preamp and it continues to impress me and all those who see and hear it.

"I kept coming back to that superbly even on-axis response"

You mean that measurement, right.

Well, I thought we had measurements for DOUBLE IMPACTS , not Impact Monitors.
Does anyone know if the Double Impact speakers have been measured , or published anywhere ?
