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.

Hi Cleeds,
Yes I am aware of the ability to manipulate the volume control taper. My point is that in "practical" terms 35 db is an excessive amount of gain for particularly a preamplifier/line stage. If we differ on that point, we’ll okay. 35 db will be a problem in the vast majority of audio systems even with a controlled taper V.C, Al thanks for your input.

@cleeds already agreed that 35dB seems excessive for a line stage preamp....

Porscheracer,
I had suggested the Sachs, Dehavilland and the Atma-Sphere MP-3 a few weeks ago.  I felt that you couldn't go wrong with any of these.  I believe that you'll be very happy with your choice.

It sure seems to be excessive!  What is the supposed advantage of such high gain in a line stage?
