Please Critique my Setup and Recommend Upgrade(s)
@529, Tektons have been around for a while. I am very glad I took the chance on them. IMO they will simply crush anything in and around the 3k mark. I've owned KEF Reference, Paradigm Sigs several times, Ushers, Dynaudio, Revel Performa, and some ...

2nd Tekton DIs 
strengths and weaknesses
Totally depends on what you listen to??? 
Speaker to mount in a bookcase - up to $2000 (somewhat long)
Guru QM10-2. Big addictive sound and they are made for boundary application. They retailed for 3k when you can find them. The reviews are stellar. I have a pair that I am thinking of posting for a very good price. PM me if you would like more deta... 
Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars
The DIs work great with SS or tubes. I run both on mine and for me the sweet spot is high current SS with tube preamp. They are really really good period, not just for the money.  
Tekton Double Impacts
Update on the Double Impacts.. Currently running them with a Cayin A100T until my Tube Pre gets fixed then I will probably go back to the Odyssey Stratos Extreme.I have probably a good 100 hrs on them at this point. The bass has gotten more powerf... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Have about 50 hours on the Double Impacts now and have to say they are phenomenal. I expected them to be good but not this good. I have put them through all the paces with my test songs and they nailed it every time. The wife came down and wanted ... 
The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is
The coin trick does in fact work but they must be 1937 Buffalo Nickels otherwise it detracts from the soundstage.  
Replacing KEF LS50s with Reference 1s
You can try fmod attenuators for really cheap. I hear they are fairly transparent. Can buy off amazon. High pass in most frequencies. Would go into the rca input signal in your amp.  
Moving up from B&W CM9
If you can stretch it by $500 I find it very hard to believe you will even get in the ballpark of performance of the Tekton Double Impact. Mine are barely broken in but they are so good. I had Golden Ear Triton Ones for about 6 months and found th... 
Tekton Double Impacts
the standard upgrade is the better crossover parts and internal wiring. That is $300 extra. I too am curious if there is something over and above this. When I talked with Eric this is the only upgrade he was offering.  
Tekton Double Impacts
Haven't blown over any walls yet. I do have poured walls in the basement so that's understandable ;-)I'll give them some days but I am thinkin I may be selling my JL f113.  
Tekton Double Impacts
Mac, Not sure if you have ever put your ear up to the speakers but it sounds like to me the 10 inchers are just bass as would be normal, the mid drivers don't seem to go very high either. Sounds like most of the upper mids as well as the highs are... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Last night I listened for about 4 hours. To be honest I am a little dumfounded how they can be as good as they are. I was very skeptical in some of these posts, maybe a little insulting a few times "sorry" but these are something special IMO.  
Tekton Double Impacts
Pickin my Double Impacts up tomorrow on the way to Mi from Ohio. They called and said they could deliver Thursday but they are already right where I am driving through so I am happy to be picking them up sooner.
