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.

@corelli  So well put and communicated. 
The feedback and reviews on these speakers has been so consistent that it is, IMO, easy to just order up and let the fun begin. Some, I know, really feel the need to audition first. But if that is not possible, the bigger risk is in missing out on a great speaker, not returning them!

Marty,Go ahead and get a bit excited.  The adrenaline rush will come in handy when you have to lift these big boys!They will sound good out of the box and will only become more liquid and effortless as they break in. 
Keep us posted on your experience.

@powerglide ,

iIm using the pre with single ended Cerious Matrix cables. The pre does have a set of balanced inputs but I didn’t think it was true balanced but what do I know im just getting familiar with her. The pre is resting on a Maple shelf with Mapleshade pointy brass feet.

im enjoying sensory overload at the moment.

Rather narrow dispersion in the top octave will give it a horn like character. The vertical response is rather uneven in the mid range which is a little more concerning. Overly Bass heavy but so are more than 70% of current day speakers.

Overall not bad at all. Not quite a reference quality speaker but great performance for the price! Nothing overly concerning at all and an excellent waterfall plot (good quality drivers). No wonder they are so popular. I am impressed!
