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.

Is there a Tekton speaker able to compete with Jbl 4367? Which model ?

Thanks for the link David.  It's remarkable how with such consistency people describe the attributes of the DI's.  Everything comment made by Billy resonates with all of us who have enjoyed these speakers so much. He was a fun guy to listen to.  Just had to smile.

@corelli  That stood out for me as well. As you say, it's really quite remarkable.

In Billy's case with the DIs. The SEs and Encores and Ulfberths take the same up a few more notches.

Backing this up with evidence, is a recent experience between two Cardas XLR to RCA adaptors. Cardas carries two versions in their accessory line up. 

Differences between both adaptors with the same cables were readily and clearly apparent and my prefered choice an easy pick.

The SEs were able to showcase this, with ease.
