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.

I too hve been concerned about the price going up and hopefully this thread hasn't given him the idea to act sooner rather than later. :)  If you go about 9 or 10 posts down on the Tekton Facebook page, there is a post with two pics of the DIs.  A little over half way down, Eric made the following comment:  
$3K pair... inevitably it will go up though.
That was January. Seriously hoping for funding approval from spousal unit before the inevitavble happens.

They are called dust caps not cones.
The dust cap on the stock Eminence alpha 10a woofer is thinner than the dust cap on the beta 10a woofer.

Eric said that it was due to air pressure changes during shipping. He said use a shop vac to "gently" pull them out.....

Seriously, I don't know how he makes much on the DIs at 3k shipped. I've been expecting an increase for a while. Not sure when or how much but yeah, they are an underpriced bargain at this point in time. And if they compare well to the Wilsons (I have heard the Wilsons -- and I love them but I don't think the DIs give up anything to them) in a professional review, they will still be a killer bargain even after an increase.

So I used the shop vac....it pulled the covers out.....but there are still remnants of them being collapsed. I fear these covers will always look like this which is like crap! As I said, the covers looked like they were supposed to be like as all four looked exactly the same.

Eric should warn people about this. It's not like it should be a surprise considering the possible altitude changes during shipping.
