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.

@teajay , ah, so you don't actually own a pair of DIs? The price must have been too steep what with all of those amp purchases. Heh.

@James_w514, yeah, you know, that 8" driver is probably not optimal for large rooms. Mine is small, at 13x12x8, so I figured I would go for it, especially since bass is so hard to control and also difficult to articulate right with a sub. There are usually big tradeoffs somewhere in the design. Rationally, I ciphered that with my room size I'll get the bass articulation of the DI's dual 10", but perhaps without some of the struggles. 

Meh, if worse comes to worse and I fall crazy in love with the mini-Ulfs, yet I find bass to be lacking, I have this JL F110 sitting here collecting dust that I could really dial in to dip pretty low. The JL has room correction so it shod dial in nicely, and though it's a 10", itself, it sounds much deeper and goes much deeper, with great authority. Perfect for a smaller room. 

At least that's what I imagine at the moment...or we'll see.

@james_w514,

When referring to "refinement" do you mean sonically or aesthetically? Or both? If sonically, please help me understand how you define refinement. Thanks.
