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.

It's been my observation that the Lyngdorf 2170 has been well received on this thread. It has been praised and certainly generated quite favorable responses and interest.  Where's the hostility toward it or its owners Bill? Just haven't seen this type of response here. I  haven't heard it but on several threads have suggested that others look into the Lyngdorf  based solely on the very positive feedback it has gotten form people whose opinion I respect. You seem very sensitive in defending this product. Again the talk about the Lyngdorf has been exceedingly positive IMO.

Good question Charles. No hostility on this thread, but yes here on the Gon. My comments are actual quotes from several 2170 owners/members and not my own “sense” only. Hope this helps.

The only issue I have with Teajay’s statement is, just because I like a D Class amp I won’t be interested in the amps listed below.

Teajay,
i have high hopes for Aric's 300B and will get my first listen to it tomorrow. Can't wait. 

I love my tube DAC, pre and amp but have a very open mind towards the Lyngdorf and will give it a try in the next year. I'm not saying I'll switch to it but I just have to give it a listen to hear what all of the buzz is about. I believe besides being a class D amp it incorporates a few other technologies that together make it something very different. Very intriguing to say the least. 

I would welcome all Lyngdorf users to share their experiences with the DI's with it. As Charles stated I find this thread very accepting and cordial regarding alternate amplification. There's never a right or wrong in my book.....only what's right for your personal enjoyment. So please share your Lyngdorf/DI experiences with us.

@aniwolfe you like a Lyngdorf 2170 system.  Your pleasure is not with a class of amps, but with a particular brand and design of a powered dac.  I don’t like broad brush generalizations, but rather think we should share on individual pieces.  Agreed?
