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.

Use REW to tune my system and retuned last night after the grill change. The bass required a +2 db increase to match with the treble now that the half grill is in place. Fairly modest adjustment.
I use HSU subs in studio and 5.1 settings but do not care for them in stereo ones -- they muddy up the bass soundstage. Your point about subs and time delay is, however, well taken.

It was the poodles. Now there are Cavadoodles running around everywhere. It's a good mix -- the cavalier's love and the poodle's smarts. They're hell in the bathtub, however...

@charles1dad I think I lost that bet with @david_ten 

I bought a Luxman AS-55 Japanese switcher to switch between my Diavolo and the Nords and soon a Benchmark AHB2 amplifier that I just ordered to try for 30 days.

I also ordered the New Benchmark HP4 Line Preamplifier to try for 30 days as well.  It's one hell of a preamplifier. 

I also upgraded my Analysis Plus cables to their Apex Silver interconnects.  And picked up 5 of there Power Oval MK II cables.

I guess I lost the bet.
