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.

@david_ten Thanks again for sharing all your experience. May I bother you with the very last question? Which preamp was together with the XA 30.8?

@mgb1985  The driver in the DI is the Eminenece Alpha.  But really it just needs the proper adhesive.  Looks like the adhesive jetter suggested would be just fine.

@adversman  As you have probably read the DI's allow the flexibility to go in many directions when it comes to your choice of amps.  They will show the virtues and limitations of each.  Sometimes I think it would be nice to have a stable of amps.  After all, you wouldn't pair up the same wine with every meal.  And so it is with music.

But in reality, we have all found amps that we love with the DI's. You will just need to sort our your priorities and do your homework on the qualities that you value most.
