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.

Grannyring, have you an experience with the cables Western Electric is selling? They have from 8-24 gauge I believe. It's newly made but made by Western Electric. I came across it when looking at their 80th anniversary re-issue 300B tubes set to come out this September.

I have the WE cables Grannyring is referring to. Its hooked to the 2170 and the Tekton Electrons. I will tell you that it is the warmest, most natural system I have put together. You just need to be patient. Lots of burn in time. Over 200 hours in my experience. If you have the right quality ingredients surrounding the 2170 and the Tektons, it can be a system that will be very engaging to listen to for many hours at a time.

The Zero Fidelity youtube guy has another video on the DIs. He mentions that they have semi recently had a minor voice change. I believe it was something like a 2db drop around 1000hz. He had a resistor on an alligator clip guessing was sent by Tekton. Anyone know anything about this?
