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.

Thanks, bullitt.  Now I've two new artists to try out on my Brilliance system. Both of these escaped my 77 year old radar.  Perhaps we should get back to discussing the speakers.  Is there anyone who has compared the DI's or Brilliance with the OB Sigmund?

@mazikrav: Sure, I'd love to meet up when I make it to Orem to audition Eric's creations.

Twoch, 
Regarding your comment about the Wilson Sophia 1 and the Tekton DI,  is it based on listening comparisons or an assumption based on the cost of these two speakers ?
