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.

Man, I have DIs in a 10x13x8 and now they look diminutive with these acoustics I'm placing in the room. 

Cut this Yo-Yo biz in here. Never trust a guy whose name sounds like a child's toy.

How about some Jimi Hendrix? Good. Sounds American and great on DIs. 

For your classical fix, let's do Claude Debbusy, Le Mer. It's light. Angular. It has spaceout.

I was hoping to finally hear the Double Impacts at Axpona this year. Despite all of the buzz here, and having a dealer in the Chicago suburbs, Tekton will not be showing for a second year in a row at Axpona. It is only one of the largest shows in the country. What gives? I guess it is another head scratcher from Tekton. I am quickly losing interest. Oh well.

I’m guessing he doesn’t have time to do any shows. The build list has got to be long since I’m on a 16 to 20 week wait. So why pay for a room at  Axpona?

csmgolf,
agree with you, why bother to give anyone who wants to see or hear the speaker their only chance before buying it.  After all, it must be expensive to buy a room or booth.
