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.

Man, I love readings for exchanges like these. A wealth of experience and friendship shared. Plus, we've got different takes on amps! 

Kudos, guys! 

Mac, I forgot how far apart your DIs are, and how far back you listen.

Teajay,
thank you for such a generous offer. I'll email you. Thanks so much again.

Charles,
i always thought the tone and soundstage of was my system was pretty good.....until hearing it with your Frank's. They took everything to a whole new level. I can only imagine how well your system emotes music and I look forward to experiencing it. 

Kenny,
according to my wife when it comes to audio my entire brain shuts off :) You're so right about though SET amps can have a magical sound that's addicting.......not that I couldn't quit anytime I wanted.

Evolvist,
my DI's are 6'6" apart with my listening position 8' away.

Hello
This is my first post, but for several months I read the reviews on DI. I guess I'm determined to buy, but I live in Europe and I know that it is buying a one-way;) I wonder whether it will be well with the amp and pre- emotiva Xpr1 ,McIntosh C2500

Mack71,
I can't recall one post where someone said there DI's sounded lousy with there given electronics.  But make no mistake that they will accurately reflect whatever you feed them.  Hence, all the interesting discussion on amp choices!
