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.

Could be a combo of all of the above.

Its rare to make a major change in speakers then not have to make other changes as well in order to dial in the desired sound. Could be as minor as tweaking placement or orientation or changing room treatments or much more than that.

@teajay You are correct in your concern about healthy listening levels.

I had the same concern and asked as much, which is why I did not repeat it here.

On 11/22 I asked/posted this:

"@nitrobob Any concerns around protecting your and your son’s hearing?"

He has had his hearing tested yearly and passed with flying colors (per nitrobob).

My recollection is that anything continuous over 83db loud or so causes some damage to hearing. Gotta watch that!
