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.

Based on what I have read I have decided Tekton is a Fad..lotsa of people must be drinking the koolAid..
based on what I  have read..
Those of you that have replaced speakers costing much more have bought into the Fad..
drank the koolaid..
the Tektons will probably disappear soon..
they can't be that good based on what I have read..
I know everything that you read on the internet has to be true..
.except for this about the Tektons.
So,based on what I have read I will not purchase anymore Tektons.
.I am glad I sold my Pendragons  that I really enjoyed when I was hurting for money.
I am so sorry that I bought the Mlores and Lore References that  I enjoy daily
Based on what I have read..I drank that koolaid too.
I feel so silly now!

@david_ten   Always good to hear from you David.  Hope you continue to enjoy your journey into SE/fullrange driver world.  I have no doubt your system works some magic.  More importantly, hope you and your family are well in these uncharted times.  I did speak with Tom not too long ago and he mentioned meeting up with you to audition your system.  Given recent events not sure if that happened.  In any event, both of you have been a great asset to this thread.  Best wishes.

Heind, how would you know? All the people with first had listening experience sure couldn’t know as much about what they sound like as someone who arbitrarily decided they can’t be any more than a fad? I’ve read about everything I could find on the internet about tektons myself. Almost all give high praise, and are detailed about what they are praising, and those details don’t seem radish at all. Also read where two professional reviewers for noted magazines made Tekton their reference speakers in their own systems. The negative reviews I have read were either by people who havnt even heard them, and went on to explain how and why they could not sound good, or by people who seem like their fixated against them for their design, or love for another brand that some have said the Tektons were better than, without giving details of what about the sound disappoints in the way that those who enjoy them seem to be able to give their reasons. I’m sure some people will prefer other speakers, as everyone has different preferences in sound, and i for one enjoy many different types, and try not to pigeon hole myself, just let my ears decide.
