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.

The Lyngdorf is certainly exceptional value. 

On another note, I cannot wait to hear the Double Impacts again. I have no idea what to expect in my environment, but...I don't know. Will it sound good?!!! I'm favoring, yes.

I think there are two different value propositions here based on the Lingdorf unit under discussion. The 2170 has multiple units combined and the price point is $4500.
I am only looking at multi channel capability so although the 2170 would be something I would consider for stereo, it is a non-starter for me.
Their multi-channel offering is 10k and needs external amplification and so that was the basis of my initial question. How much of the Lingdorf "all in one signal path" that pertains to the 2170 really extends to the 50 processor when it needs external amps like the other AV processors?

Understand vitop.

@charles1dad

I have watched you build your system over the years. You have been very careful and deliberate in building exactly want you want and desire in a system. Your system is first rate and there is little chance throwing out all your wire and electronics for the Lyndorf in one instant will yield the same results for you. Little chance. Ok - infinitesimal.

I greatly respect your approach, experience, and passion for good music. I wish I could hear your system as I am sure I would connect with it deeply. Well done for sure.
