Tekton Design Brilliance

Hello everyone:

Is there anyone here who is interested in starting a separate thread discussing the Tekton Design Brilliance?  I've had my pair for nine months.

They work so well with a First Watt F-3, a VPI Classic 2, a SoundSmith Voice Cartridge mated to a Sound-Smith preamp and an Oppo Universal Player. All of these feed to a passsive preamp by Placette.. I'd be interested in discussing all the options you   have reviewed or own with the Brilliance speakers.

I do not have first hand experience with the Brilliance  ( I have the Double Impacts )

Can you give a more detailed 'review' of them based on your room/system/ etc. Thanks.

@james_w514  James, in case it is helpful, reach out to @kdude66 

Kenny has a lot of experience with Nelson's First Watt products.

I looked into going with an F6/7, J2 or a SIT-1/-2  ... but ultimately decided on the XA 30.8

First Watt is an excellent pairing with the DIs. Kenny is running them with his modified SIT2.
