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.

Musikmann,
Agree with your comment and for certain Kenny knows that as well. Emphasis on the chip type or R2R ladder architecture can be overstated. I/V conversion, analog stage design and power supply quality are as important (if not perhaps even more so ). I’ve heard very good multi chip/R2R and also Delta Sigma topologies.

@evolvist  Great to hear that your DIs have shipped!!!  You have been EXTREMELY patient. Also great that you kept on it vs backing down and going with another choice. Not easy when one is without speakers for such a long time.
