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.

Thanks so much for that, Al. As always, you're an invaluable resource. I would imagine if I liked the Lyngdorf, I would sell the Atlantic, but the Allnic phono stage is something else altogether. I will certainly contact Lyngdorf to get more specifics before moving forward.

I hope all is well with you!

Well,  I would like to come and hear them one day when you get all setup, if you would allow me .The one thing that Lyngdorf RoomPerfect does Extremely well , is the Bass and the time Domain. 
I am much closer to you than Dan.

The 2170 has a separate high quality analog input module that can be purchased...I believe.  I don’t have it on mine. 

@waltersalas Those new speakers are very, very impressive looking to me in terms of the drivers and design. My hunch is they are very special sounding and a nice jump up in SQ from the very good DI family.

Chris,
Do you get the feeling some of us here are pushing you toward buying the Lyngdorf? 😁.

Charles, the Lyngdorf fan club is growing by leaps and bounds, it appears. I spent some time reading in the archives today and could barely find a negative word about it. Very impressive testimonials abound. Moreover, it would be a great way to pile up some hours of break-in on my new Encores instead of burning up hours on the tubes in my LM 508ia.

Oh my, how good are we audiophiles at rationalizing what we want?

@grey9hound 

Once I get all this sorted out, I will certainly extend an invitation. Love to have you over for a listening session.

@grannyring 

Thanks for that info, Bill. Thanks to you and Al, I will be doing my due diligence on the analog aspect of using the Lyngdorf. I do enjoy spinning those records, so I have to get that right if I am going to try one.
