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.

ozzy, I asked Eric to check this thread and respond to you, give him a call and be sure to ID yourself, you will get through to Eric.
@csmgolf , SE version uses made to Tekton spec'd drivers instead of off the shelf, I think better crossover parts than the DI w/upgrades, and I believe the cabinet is just a little bit bigger.

@klh007 yah, so it isn't known what the difference is and whether the extra 3000-3500 is actually worth the upgrade costs.

Also, the $3000-3500 on the SE’s probably have dealer markup built-in since they are sold through dealerships.

A couple of people here such as mac48025 have the DI’s and also have the DI SE on the way. I am waiting patiently for his take on the differences in sound. My purchase will probably rest on Mac’s opinion.

I just talked to Eric this morning and ordered a set of Double Impacts/w upgrades. I currently have  Ascend Raal Towers ...I really like the Ascends, just thought I would buy myself a Christmas present ...
