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.

Thanks for the info. I ended up ordering a pair without the BB tweeter.

I have not heard any of the Be versions.  I do know that the silk domes blend beautifully with the paper cone drivers and create a seamless sound top to bottom.

Eric has never tried to upsell anything in my discussions with him.  Always found him to be very open and honest.

Regarding the question of listening at low volumes--I have never felt the speakers need to be pushed to sound full and balanced.  But when pushed, they easily maintain their composure.

Did you gentleman order the standard Electron or the SE version?

I ordered the SE model and also ordered a color that has an easier WAF. If I can't get them into my living room because my wife doesn't like them, they will go into the audio room (she calls it my man cave).

I think that was a wise move.  The SB drivers are really high quality drivers that are an excellent value.  The Electron SE's reach every bit as deep in the bass as my DI's.  If my room did not allow for a larger speaker like the DI, in no way would I feel like I was missing out with the Electron SE's.  

What color did you opt for?
