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 also am one who purchased the SE, thinking to myself, I want to get “the best version of Erik’s wares” that my limited budget would allow.  

This “sudden,” drastic devaluation on my investment is a real gut punch.  

Oh well...I’m still very happy with the sound quality I am hearing from my SEs, I simply “wish” they were worth more than they are on the outside.

Does anyone here know what are the differences between the SEs and the BEs?

Thanks,

Hi. @david_ten !

Actually, my question should have been, "Has as anyone heard the Double Impact SE vs Double Impact BE?"

to all,

I saw, on the current Double Impact page of the Tekton site, where addition of the Beryllium Tweeters was a +$3500 option.  

If I were interested in upgrading my DI SEs... Is the difference in sound quality, the Beryllium Tweeters add, REALLY worth $3500?

Thanks to All for all the advice You have contributed to this thread.

I’m right there with ya, Mr Corelli!

 

I got the SE version of the DIs (right before the price adjustment!)   Haven’t heard or seen any sound that I like better than these!!!
