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'll have Aric's latest amp creation, a parallel 300B PP delivering 25 watts, to compare to his 300B SET that I've been enjoying for the last year. Should be a fun comparison.

Congratulations, Tom. Looking forward to hearing how your comparison goes.

Thanks for the "array" option suggestions.  Would DIs work in a 25 x 11 room with speakers on the long wall.  Seating position would be about 7-8' from speakers.

Does it matter if the tweeters are at ear level with the tweeter array? With the Electrons I have, my ear is exactly 39" which is the height of the center tweeter.

Aniwolfe,

my ear is level with the array on my DIs, but I often recline where my ear is lower and becomes at the bottom or just below the array. I like the sound both ways, but the absolute crispness of center vocals when my ear is at the center is really hard to top.

@ainwolfe  I prefer to be slightly higher...in my primary listening position my ears align with the top of the top tweeter, but I do sit further away in this particular spot.
