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.

@Oz-im interested to hear more about your potential Bryston critique??

I don’t know anything about their BR20 as it is brand new and there is very little out there reviewing it. But their 4b3 amp is highly acclaimed, even said to be a bit warmer, which I thought could be a great as the DIs seem to need some warming and/or richer middle. 
Alas, what I’m hearing from you first couple responders isn’t supporting any particular direction.

@morg111    I have always felt that the DI's, to my ear, were fundamentally neutral.  You are right, this speaker is so capable in allowing you to hear what is ahead of it.  As noted above, I do not feel that it is an issue of tubes vs. solid state.  I have just the right blend of detail and a hint of warmth with my Marantz Ruby gear.  There is no right or wrong here.  Trust your ears.  The cool thing is you are afforded so many choices with this speaker.  Take your time--you will know when you have arrived at your destination.

Im really bored at the great positivity from those that own the brands they favor.   "mine's the best man"

There's some utility in that statement. I've found this phenomenon, even in the political.

If it makes you feel good or powerful, OR others made to seem weak, dangerous or pathetic, you will stick with it.
what if you determine it hurts others - the feel good for you is a feel bad for someone else. Do you ever try to determine this? Have far do you let that go? For some, this is a simple contest of ignorance.

Seriously - people focus on their limited sphere of success and pump it up like a 50-mile high bounce house while ignoring the people they crush or celebrating as if victorious over them.

I've listened to quite a number of speakers over the decades and I mostly choose entirely new products and product lines, brands, etc.

We are not trying to control each other's buying behavior.

I'm clearly now on Team Moab. Super percussive speaker, but not bloaty. Rarified midrange and layers.  

 Sometimes you get something that is truly breathtaking, and why not "give it away"?
