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.

The price change on the DI SE's was really not a surprise given the ever expanding Tekton line.  In particular, the Encores forced the lower price on the SE's.

I hope SE owners don't become too troubled by this.  Let's face it, we all have been spoiled by the great value these speakers offer.  That, for sure, has not changed.

Nice to see a flurry of posts on our long in the tooth thread!

Oh boy.  The Moab may further shake things up.  I love the idea of all those tweeters.  I love the price.  But my back beckons me to think over the 185#!

I honestly believe Tekton had the Double Impact SE priced wrong to begin with.. It appeared to be too big of a jump in price from the Double Impact..
I wanted the DI’s but wasn’t very excited to buy them, I just wanted something with a little more Uniqueness to them..
Wham , came the SE’s , but just too pricey for me..!
When I called to make a purchase, Eric offered to sell me a set of SE’s at $4,500.. I was floored, and couldn’t say No..
The day after I ordered my SE’s the price drop went up on the Tekton site..
I felt guilty, and somewhat disappointed for the unfortunate ones who had purchased before me..
Tekton’s price structure is a bit abnormal, and most likely could use a total “start from scratch” revamping..
But we all know Eric is allowing us to have a taste of the Very High End HI-FI , at affordable prices..
I go to Eric for his speaker design skills, not his marketing skills..!
For a one man shop, it can’t be easy to “Everything” yourself, even with Karma’s help..
