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.

Listening to my Seas Pendragon’s this morning..
With a sound stage this great, I’m wondering how the DI’s can sound any better ..?

I have on order a set of DI’s with the $300 upgrade, $75 grills, and $ ?  matching Plynths , oh yeah and the extra $1,000 paint job..
roughly $4,600.. It was definitely hard to swallow the $ for the mirror paint ( Rosso Folgore ) , but they will be beautiful..

Are there any other upgrades I might want to consider, (that aren’t listed on the website) , that some of you guys wish you would have done to your DI’s..? 
Thanks for insights,

Burt,

Not aware of any other factory upgrades you ought to opt for.  You are in for a treat---I'm sure your new Di's will deliver the goods!

The only other thought might be what footers you opt for.  Many different options here.

I remember how hard it was to order up a $3300 speaker I had never heard.  In retrospect, this was the biggest no-brainer purchase I have ever made.  Please let us know if you feel you didn't get your monies worth! (or, more likely, how much you are enjoying your new speakers)

Does anyone know what thread size and stud length would fit the DIs?  Looking to add some sliders.  Thanks

1/4" - 20   I think a 1 inch or 3/4 inch length is best, but I believe there are folks who have used slightly longer lengths.
