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.

Listening to my Seas Pendragon’s this morning..
With a sound stage this great, I’m wondering how the DI’s can sound any better ..?

I have on order a set of DI’s with the $300 upgrade, $75 grills, and $ ?  matching Plynths , oh yeah and the extra $1,000 paint job..
roughly $4,600.. It was definitely hard to swallow the $ for the mirror paint ( Rosso Folgore ) , but they will be beautiful..

Are there any other upgrades I might want to consider, (that aren’t listed on the website) , that some of you guys wish you would have done to your DI’s..? 
Thanks for insights,
      BURT..

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..
