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 am appreciative of everyone's comments to date, in particular your carefully chosen words in regards to my(current) Mac set up. The order is placed for the DI's and if I am as thrilled with their performance as I am hoping, you will soon notice a mint pair of Sopra 2's on AG. Perhaps the substantial difference in price might tempt me to try a SET approach.

Cheers and good listening!

Brian, That's great news. Congratulations!

One point though, and it's the proverbial ying/yang issue.

Your 'memory' of your gear, in this case McIntosh, especially if you have been a Mac guy for sometime, has likely been influenced by speakers that have editorialized (I'm not referring to the Sopras, per se).

Just saying that you may hear the gear in a new light / with a slightly different presentation/signature. This can be a good or bad thing depending on your learned preferences/memory.

Just so it's clear, I'm not saying that the DIs do not edit. I believe every speaker does.

The DIs do so in a way that is different, to my ears, than the norm for most boxed / similar driver based speakers - again based on my ears.
