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.

@porscheracer  Toe in similar to what @corelli stated.

4 feet from the front wall. 5 feet from the side walls, 8 feet apart. 8-9 feet to listening position (all measurements approximate).

Not surprised on your only needing one amp. Looking forward to hearing more about your impressions with the DIs and your system.

Porscheracer, 
Congratulations on acquiring the Double Impacts and please continue to post listening impressions as you fine tune your system.  It will only get better with additional hours is my belief. 
 
Bullitt, 
I don't doubt for a moment that you have an open mind. We all hopefully configure our audio systems in a manner that support the ultimate goal,  superb sound quality 😊

Is there anywhere where these speakers can be demoed in the tri-state area (NY, NJ, PA)?

I would be very curious to hear them in person.

To answer david_ten's question about the MZ2's output, David B told me the MZ2"s max output occurs at 3 ohms, and I can't remember if he said 1.3 or 1.7 watts, this is another contributing factor in how the MZ2 drives the DIs handily.

I will be taking my MZ2S to a good local friend that mainly rebuilds and upgrades vintage SS gear and he has all the equipment to measure output and distortion.We are also going to drive some vintage Jbl 220 speakers and also some Cornwalls and see how it does.

I'm very curious myself and would like to know.

Kenny.
