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.

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 ?

Twoch,

I fully understand that you have every right to your opinion,

But it would have more weight with me if you good back up your opinion with details and not just speculation.

Best,

Kenny.

David,

You better add Eva Cassidy to your list,I like almost every thing she did in her unfortunately short career,just a very powerful voice.

Other than that you have an outstanding list of some great artists.

Enjoy the Music,

Kenny.

Kenny, no worries.... How could I ever ignore Ms. Eva! The 'Live at Blues Alley’ is one of my favorites...I just don’t play her when gear is ’burning-in’ since she always sounds bright on my system(s). Once she sounds good, I know the system is stable. Tall Trees in Georgia is a reference track for me. Good life lesson as well. :)
