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.

Eric,
Good point, but again the feedback from dissatisfied customers is based on them having heard the speaker.  Would you accept negative feedback from someone who hasn't even listened to the speakers?

Charles,

Love and respect you brother... and you know I'll be calling you for advice and guidance on any number of things audio....

BUT, I'll say, in this case, that we have different definitions and experiences of what 'open' is.

I'm with Charles on this. I have absolutely no issue with someone sharing their opinion on a product even if it's in disagreement with my experience.....IF they've actually listened to said product. One can learn a lot reading dissenting opinions but one can't have a true opinion about a product without having actual experience with it......and stating the DI can't be as good as speakers costing much more and that any reviewer suggesting as much is ridiculous is especially illogical. According to that reasoning I could buy some Bose speakers, slap my own label on them, price them at $100k/pair and they would automatically be assumed to be better than the DI's. Not only that, any reviewer that said the DI's sounded better than my newly created $100k speakers would instantly lose credibility in shadornes mind. Anyone basing audio performance solely upon price, especially without even listening to the products, is more interested in status than sound.

David, 
I have much appreciation for you as you know.  Here's my take,  Shadorne is dismissive of Clement Perry and Teajay due to their praise of a speaker heard in their respective systems.  It bothers him that they both find the DI comparable or even better than more expensive speakers.  More expensive speakers they have formally reviewed in their main listening system by the way. 

Shadorne finds this unacceptable and besmirches the  credibility of both! Shadorne has zero listening experience with this same speaker. He has no reference point or context other than price point.   David my friend,  what am I missing here?
