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 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.

I played Pandora Plus through my Roku Ultimate (HDMI Out)into OPPO-UDP-203 (it has an HDMI 4K capable input) .I am using HDMI Audio only out of the OPPO-203 into Mx150 (Oppo 203 has an HDMI Audio Only output)
I mention this because it is Really good sound this way.
I chose Thumbprint radio station.In doing so hear are some of the artists heard :
Organically Good Trio
Delvon Lamarr
The Bamboos
The Meters
Stanton Moore Trio
Dirk Quinn
Chicken Shack
The Budos Band
The Greyboy Allstars
Ripple Groove
Melvin Taylor
Ju Ju
Marcus Miller
This is why i like Pandora Plus.
I get similar Artists to the one in my search.
I am always finding Great new Artists this way.
I had never heard of half of those groups
They are not necessarily new , but they are new to me . The sound is so good through the Roku and Oppo-UDP-203 , that it amazes me.
Oh BTW .For those who do not know ,Thumbprint Radio (station on Pandora) plays anything that you have given a thumbs up to and some new similar artists mixed in .
