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.

For immediate release
April 19th 2017

Tekton Design LLC - We've prepared 8 Ohm versions of the patented Double Impact and Electron models. The new 8 Ohm version has been ideally optimized for lower wattage SET tube amplifier typologies, all tube amplifiers lacking 4 Ohm taps, and vintage solid state amplifiers.

Offering an  8 ohm version of the Tekton DI is a very smart idea in my humble opinion. SET and other low power amplifiers should thrive with the easier driven speaker load. Excellent decision.

Hello everyone,
I have been looking for a speaker upgrade the last couple of months,I have been involved in this wonderful hobby for about 30yrs,So I owned a fair amount of speakers.
About the only type I have'nt had is OB'S I was seriously considering the pap with the vox full range or the spatial M3 turbo s.
Now that I have read this entire thread and all other info about the DI's,I decided to give Eric a call this morning and ask a few questions,he is a very busy guy but was accommodating.
I ended up buying a set that are gloss metallic black and have all the internal upgrades.I'm looking forward too receiving them and trying them out with my equipment and room.
I haven't heard any of the Tekton speakers and I don't know anybody in my area that has a pair.

I see a pair of 8 ohm DI's in my future! 

I'll be getting a pair of LTA MZ2-S that will be bridged and run as Monoblocks which will provide 70% more output than a single MZ-2S. I'm sure that will be fine with my 4 ohm DI's but the 8 ohm version should be better yet. I wonder if teajay had any influence into that decision since he's the one that realized just how good the DI's are with the MZ. I applaud Eric for making this possible. 

Congrats kdude, you're in for a real treat!
