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.

Hello all,

I'm reading with great interest about the differences between the DI and DI SE. Lots of good information about the mids and lows here but I'm still searching for detailed descriptions on the highs. (Forgive me if it exists here already but this in one heck of a long thread!) I need to be able to savor the nuance of cymbal strikes, shimmy, and decay. And to tell the differences between the different types of cymbals. How do the DI and DI SE perform there? With the DI SE currently on sale at $4k in basic black I'm tempted to pull the trigger.

Note I've tried to reach Erik by phone on several occasions to no avail and his helpers don't know. Thanks!

Thank you klh007,  totally agree that Be tweets do what I'm asking for. Trouble is I'm maxed out at $4k. I have Hiquphon OW1 soft domes in my Linn speakers that are quite nice and quite pricey.  Trouble with those speakers is in the mid and bass. I'm concerned the lower quality tweets in the DI and DI SE may not get me there. And if one or the other does, which one?

Update to my comment about not having been able to reach Erik: He did ring me back and says either one would meet my needs. And while that's encouraging I'd still like to hear from users with varying rooms and upstream componentry. Thanks!
