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.

Here is the main reasons to use the Benchmark brand Xlr to Rca adapters,

SPECIAL WIRING TO REDUCE HUM AND INTERFERENCE:

Back-referenced audio ground - for common-mode rejection
Star-quad conductors - for magnetic immunity
Dedicated shield connection - for immunity to ground loop problems
RCA center pin to star-quad + to XLR pin 2
RCA ring to star-quad - to XLR pin 3
RCA ring to shield braid to XLR pin 1

These are also the most cost effective product on the market that I have seen and used.

Kenny.
