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.

"what about red?"

She wanted me to get Double Impacts and the Mini Ulfs in red but I had concerns. They look great in red so she was right. It’s her birthday today, maybe I should order her Impact Monitors in red as a gift ;)

tfoth, I've had my listening position as close as 6' from the DI's with very good results. My DI's are 6' apart and I now have my listening position about 8' away. The DI's allow for a lot of latitude with regards to positioning, room size and listening position
I Cannot remember where i got the info but, the distance that your speakers are apart , center to center Multiplied by a factor of 1.3 to 1.4 equals the ideal listening distance from the speakers.
I think mine are 79 inches apart and my listening position is about 103 inches from left speaker  to listening  position and 105 inches  from the right speaker to the listening position.
 The math says that it should be 102.7 to 110.6 inches

Okay, all four of my woofers have a dimpled dome. In other words, it looks like someone pushed them in. They are all the same and it looks uniform. I thought nothing of it until I saw @grey9hound 's photos. His aren't dimpled....

Anyone else have dimpled domes in their woofers?

Are you referring to the center dust caps?
