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.

I just want to thank @lancelock for inviting me into his home yesterday. He was kind enough to offer me an opportunity to hear the DIs, and also his other two systems. The DIs are impressive at their price point, but I am not selling my speakers yet. I admit that I anxious to hear the SEs as the DIs show great promise. 
Lances upstairs room with the Jantzens is a great listening experience. He has the system really dialed in nicely, I had to force myself to get up and let Lance get on with his day.
I will definitely take advantage of Lances offer to come hear the DI SEs when they arrive.

Thanks Joe for an enjoyable visit. I can hardly wait for the DI SE myself.

@mswobo would like to audition the Double Impacts.

He is in Central IL and also visits Chicago.

Does someone know of a DI owner local to him who may be open to having him over?

@corelli , saw your post dated a year ago but it resonated with me. I was 15, the year was 1975, in high school, and like you I put together my first high-end system (by mail-order) from The Stereo Warehouse in San Luis Obispo, CA. What made me feel compelled to post this was the gear was similar to yours: a Pioneer SX-737 receiver, Electro-Voice speakers, a BIC belt-drive TT, a Shure cart. Yes, it was quite a system for a high-school kid. I had worked all summer before and saved about $800 at age 14. The system cost almost $700, delivered to a little town in Texas. Wonderful memories.

@tomcarr Thanks for the post Tom.  You know, it's scary how much I remember about that gear down to every last detail.  And all the albums I played on it as well.  Wonderful memories indeed.

Hope you continue to enjoy the music!
