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.

Lance,

I'm glad to hear that you are digging your DI's,I thought you may like them.

That will be a interesting comparison to the Janzens look forward to reading your thoughts.

Best,

Kenny.

Listening to Copeland's Rodeo/Telarc.
The DI's are really doing justice to the big Telarc bass drum.  The  drum is so tight with really nice impact--closest to live I've heard.  Strings are silky smooth but not without the magic that occurs when the rosined bow grips  and releases the string.  Brass is with nice bite. Gotta love it.

Corelli,  my room is 17' x 18' x 8.5' high and the DI's on the shorter wall but the room is almost square. I have a few diffusers and lots of bass traps.

And how far from the front wall are the DI's/seat position?

The DI's are 2' from the front wall, about 8' to my seat and 8' apart. I have yet to experiment much with speaker placement. They do go through an interesting break-in period and change quite a bit.
