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 use the same outriggers and like them.  Hint--so as to not mar that beautiful finish, I place black felt as an interface.  But then I obsess.  And I don't even have the premium finish you do!

@nickwin    In spite of the large tweeter array, dispersion if better than you might think.  The fact that not all the tweeters are in phase mitigates this a bit so I do not find that these have restricted dispersion. Compared to my prior Magnepan speakers, they are of course superior. 

Now I'll be clear.  I'm a sound stage nut.  So there is a very clear sweet spot for me and I would never listen seriously outside of that. But I would say the same about the vast majority of speakers I've ever listened to.

@lancelock  Great that you have your SEs in system! Looking forward to the photos.

Reasons you chose to go with the outriggers plus the Gaias? Thanks.

@nickwin I'll echo what @corelli says. Dispersion is excellent.

I have added a few pics to my system page.

The outriggers because they are so tall and I worry about them accidently getting knocked over.

The IsoAcoustics GAIA because I believe in isolation and have had good experience with such products in the past such Mapleshade. I also have read good reviews of the GAIA but in my descision making even more weight is given to the members here who have shared their positive experience.
