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.

@stelo   I will echo David's comments.  While I also prefer my DI's well out into the room, others have had good results otherwise.  Depends on the room and your priorities--bass response, sound staging, etc.  I also prefer the speakers toed in (see my pics   https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/7021) so I'm not so far off axis of the central tweeter.  I find the DI's overall very well balanced and extended (but certainly not hot--a quality I loathe).
OBTW, I have a PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP which drives the DI's in either triode or ultralinear beautifully.  What output tubes are you using?

Update: I just concluded a very successful and compelling audition / demo of some truly terrific and exceptional amplification components.

I ordered the T+A PA 3100 HV integrated amplifier, which will now serve as a central piece in the system driving the SEs.

This has been said before but I will repeat it once again: The SEs are uber revealing of what is upstream of them.

@ david_ten 

Congrats on your new Integrated Amp! Once you hear the right combo, it's hard going back.

Enjoy,

Found out on FB that my Ulfberhts are getting primed today.  Getting close. Hoping the new Lyngdorf 3400 ships from Denmark soon.  When I hear of extended wait times and I notice even established companies like Lyngdorf get back ordered too I learn to be patient, because I'm not a patient person at all.  At this point Eric is ahead of schedule.  I was originally told 6 weeks, but it's only been 3 and they will probably ship in a week. Very excited.

@wig   Thank you! The T+A is a very special component. Dave / Audio Doctor @audiodoctor has described it in detail within some of his posts, in case you are looking for more information.

I'm looking forward to learning more about your SW1X II Std DAC. Congratulations on your Don Sach's and SW1X gear!
