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 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.

The GAIAs are 'sticky' in their contact to the flooring and the I's are fairly wide. Which is why I asked. I'm sure you will try them in both configurations. Let us know how it goes.

I bought the carpet spikes that go with the GAIAs.

Lance, thanks for posting the pics.  Your new SE's and system pics look great!  Please give an update once they break in.

I've always liked the stability outriggers afford.  Have used them to good effect in all my floor standing speakers over the years.
