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.

Micheal, 
Thank you for your very kind comments.
Yeah I post quite a bit I'll confess, I watch very little television and this allows time for reading,  listening to music and participation on this enjoyable forum.

A few years ago at RMAF  I heard the Vaughn speakers driven by the Wavelength Cardinal SET amplifier and it was quite a good sounding match. I'm certain that your audio system sounds captivating and very engaging. 

Michael this is as you note an interesting thread with friendly and mature posters. Your comments are most welcome here. Corelli I hope you don't mine my invitation of others to your creation  (thread) 😊😊.

david_ten,
Thanks for the encouraging words. I have high hopes for the Vaughn speakers. And yes, Jim Jordan was a pleasure to work with. His place was only 50 miles out of route for me so I went by to pick them up. He brought them out to me at a spot by the freeway so I wouldn’t have to bring my rig into his neighborhood.

Charles,
Thanks for the welcome. I hope my comment about your posting didn’t come across as a negative and I apologize if it did. I meant it as a positive. I think others would agree that your presence and activity on this and other forums is interesting and helpful. This is a very interesting hobby we share in and it’s entertaining to engage with others in the forums. You and others have even been able to arrange listening sessions sharing your equipment. I think that’s great. I live out west in southwest Washington. Any chance I could hear your amps? Just kidding...kind of. Would love to hear them but fat chance you live anywhere nearby.

I would also love to see some of you who seem to know each other get together and do a Single Ended Class A SET Amp shootout with the Frankenstein’s, Aric Audio offerings, and I think Terry mentioned some others. That would be very interesting!

Has anyone else heard the Vaughn speakers with plasma tweeter? How are they compared to the Tekton tweeter array?

@kdude66 
did you receive the Lyngdorf yet? I blew up my Odyssey amp trying to bias it. Shorted something. Trying to get it fixed but that Lyngdorf looks pretty sweet.

Hello gentlemen
It took 30 hours of listening DI.
These speakers are phenomenal. For four years I listened Jamo 909  and say that DI is better for me. The only thing that is an asset Jamo a deeper bass (but it is quite slow) Jamo 909 is a dipole design, and it is difficult to directly compare, but the general impression is that the DI are more musical and direct. It is an excellent vocals, piano and guitar. I wonder if 30 hours is enough to reach the speakers (I think a little bit about bass), though for me is great.
