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.

WOW!
Those of you that know me know that I'm very open-minded to an indivudals thought.
There is no right and wrong, only what sounds good to each individual's preferences...
That's the way life seems to work. Thank goodness we don't all have the same likes and dislikes!

@baranyi - "Audio is not paint by numbers and you cannot cobble together a system based upon reviews or other people’s experience. It really is trial and error until it works for you. Tekton has done audiophiles a great service offering excellent speakers for little money in high end economics. The fact that they are even in the conversation of great speakers at $3000 is astounding. They are obviously not for everyone but they can sound quite different with different amplication, wires, front ends and the list goes on and on."

Well said. I would only say I do think we can get a general idea of what something sounds like from reviews and other people’s experience. Just don't go overboard with thinking your system is somehow subpar if you don't copy a reviewer's or a well-regarded poster's equipment that they are currently using. Just learn from it and make your own decisions.

Let’s say no one knows what’s inside the DI? Will the impression will still be the same? When I first read Terry’s review I did not pay attention on parts, wiring, so I was excited to have them, then I read many post here describing the wire, caps,cabinet quality,drivers, some did say they are cheap, I have to ask myself Iam paying too much for the speakers, but maybe for the music is a bargain, yesterday posting is truly a very interesting day for the DI thread, it shows how many audiophile has knowledge , speaker sound preference , It’s fun n stressful to read at times, but there is a deeper sense to learn , it made me realize how special are this DI, 20k modified speakers vs 3k, the 3k keeps fighting back, at the end I notice the conclusion after all this 3k still a very good speaker for the price, this is the first time to see this speaker match 20 k vs 3k. At Agon....The 3k might not have won over 20k if Iam the 3k owner , I be more than happy on that match...my desire to get the DI is more after yesterday.....
