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.

Kenny,

Cant wait to hear your impressions of the new amp. I came close to going with the same amp but opted for the SET KT 120 as I'll have the Consonance 2A3 to play with. Aric is a joy to deal with, as I'm sure you know.

RE: mini-Ulfs. 

There is good news, bad news and even better news. 

The bad news is that I don't believe the mini-Ulfs will be ready for prime time any time soon. I spoke with Eric and he was not happy with the voicing. 

The good news is that I'm buying a pair of upgraded white DIs. These will be mine. However, as gesture of good faith and customer service, Eric will allow me to upgrade from the DIs to the mini-Ulfs whenever he has perfected them, with only the balance to pay for the Ulfs. 

The even better news is that Tekton is making sure the mini-Ulfs are perfect before sending them out. Eric believes the mUs will blow anything else away in its price range, and even way above. That he will sell lots of these (might be a big seller, only second to the DIs), it only makes sense that he takes his time. 

So, I'll have DIs pretty soon. :-)

Great news evolvist. You will love the DI's. I had heard that mini Ulfs might not be ready soon and its good to see Eric took good care of you and is doing the right thing by taking his time to make the mini Ulfs right before sending them out. 

Wondering if you discussed the DI SE's at all as an option with Eric?

I could be wrong, but I got the impression that the DI SEs are almost ready to go, and that the mU has quite aways to go. We spoke about the SEs, but it would be more waiting and I have zero speakers.  

It seems they have building DIs down to a science, though. About 10 days, per.
