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 jcarcopo.  If you are frugal (nothing wrong with that and one more reason you should consider Tekton) I would cross the Be tweeters off my list.  Better to spend the extra $500 towards the Moabs over the SE/Be upgrade in my mind.  Nothing wrong with a trip to Chicago or elsewhere for an auditon but nothing will replace an audition in your listening space.

Looks like a couple of clarifications are needed:

Tekton Design is purchasing these parts directly from the source of manufacturing not Parts Express. 

Karma got married last October and left Tekton in December - we're happy for her! Beckie and Tammy are the crew members today.

Happy listening!

It’s a bit sketchy getting info via email. I have asked multiple questions in about 3 emails and will get two or three questions answered. Still don’t know who manufactures the drivers (I think it’s Eminence for the SE?) for either the standard DI or SE and after asking twice about if just one tweeter can be ordered BE instead of all seven, the answer is yes for the SE. For the pair it’s $500 added to base cost. Not sure if I will order a pair, but it’s worth asking questions to see what you might be getting for the money.

For starters, call me directly over sending emails or posting up questions here. Eminence is the company we use to manufacture both models of our DI drivers. Be is available in both models either center single or all seven.

Eric, no problem I can call. I first emailed since that is a form of communication on the tektondesign website. My first email was directed to you, but someone else started answering the questions I had?
