Just looking through different sources of the Rebbe about tzimtzum, I read again through the famous letter in which he discusses the shittos on the subject. This part caught my attention:
In our time, we have merited the revelation [of Chassidic teachings], and the concept of the tzimtzum has been explained at length — at least relatively so — and in many of its particulars, in the texts of the Chabad Chassidic teachings in print and in manuscript.
As such, one who desires to understand the concept of the tzimtzum has no alternative except to study these texts. To corroborate this, it is sufficient to compare the discussion of this issue in other texts — where it appears that for various reasons, these texts shied away from speaking in detail about the matter — to its discussion in the texts of Chabad.
Here is another instance of a meta-discussion — in this case about Alter Rebbe receiving the essence of Baal Shem Tov and his teachings and sharing it with us in an accessible way.

Yes, the Alter Rebbe was certainly unique.
