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.

I agree with @corelli. Eric’s tweeter array responds really well to cap upgrades. Add some correctly spec’d and installed Jupiter or Duelund caps to the crossover and you will be shocked by the excellent music you get. And no doubt, Bill really knows his stuff.

@rubytuesday  CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase of the Double Impact SEs!!!

Looking forward to hearing what you choose for amplification. And of course how the pairing works with the SEs.

@csmgolf If the SEs were available when I pulled the trigger I would have gone that route as well. At this point I don’t have any regrets because I’ve never heard the SEs and hope to keep it that way to preserve my bank account. I keep holding out for the elusive mini-ulfberhts, but they haven’t materialized yet and neither has the money I would require to afford them. I spent so much money on my set tube amplifier and upgrading my digital front end that I hemorrhaged enough money for this crazy hobby for a lifetime. The audio bug 🐛 will invariably force my hand, it’s only a matter of time. I hope you do get the SEs, you simply can’t go wrong with them. I apologize for misjudging you initially, I actually thought you were trolling us initially, now I realize you’re just inquisitive, like most of us here.
