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.

jayctoy, Ipretiring, agronatz,

One of my main concerns about buying and or then sending back for a refund is the size and weight of the speakers.
I’m getting older now and carting 100lb+ each speakers up and down a flight of stairs would not be easy.
BTW, some of my previous speakers were the Eggleston Andra 2 (215lbs each) and the Legacy Focus speakers.

Thanks @jayctoy.  

@ozzy - seems like time for you to move on regarding the Tekton speakers for all the reasons you’ve stated.

Sbayne +1. (Scott) thanks again....I will try to update my system pic, since your impact are sitting on your sub, is there a trace of distortion?

@jayctoy - I'll respond over on the Impact Monitor thread just to keep this Double Impact thread on point.  Thanks

Sbayne,
Regarding ozzy moving on away from the Tektons. Maybe so but no matter what speaker he chooses down the road he’ll have to hear them in his system. He needs to determine whether or not a given speaker is a match for his amplifier and system overall. Iwill admit it seems a bit strange given his emails, calls and posts on this thread he has gotten so little in response.
