Tekton Double Impacts

Thank you very much! Good to finally be onboard. 

Hello all, one of the long time lurkers, first time posters. I'd feel remiss if I didn't post and extend a huge Thank You! to this forum and the many posters. I guess I'm an audiophile novice. I have reached out for help to james_w514 and corelli who both were extremely friendly and helpful in providing knowledge. I was fortunate enough to live fairly close to Tekton and Eric was gracious in letting me visit and audition a couple of speakers (Electron and Ulfberht). Eric came across as very knowledgeable, passionate and had the ability to answer my questions and explain things in layman's terms. He was direct and confident. I had a wonderful experience that day and subsequently on phone conversations w/ both Eric and Karma. teajay's reviews didn't hurt either! I ended up w/ a pair of the SEs in black, high gloss. Could not be happier w/ them. grannyring's posts and info also helped in convincing me to give the Lyngdorf TDAI 2170 a go and it didn't disappoint in the slightest. Many other posters info has been invaluable to me, mac48025, charles1dad, kdude66, aniwolfe and many others that are slipping my mind. Anyway, just had to say thanx and express how much I have enjoyed and plan to continue to enjoy this thread!

P.S. I also found out about from this thread and had excellent experiences w/ audioarchon and rgrost (cables)

Hello again, just a quick update. I've now had the SEs for just under 2 months. This is nothing new as I have read about it here and elsewhere, but the 'speaker burn-in' thing is real! I very much enjoyed them out of the box, but this last week everything seems to have loosened up and become even more coherent. The bass in particular is now more pronounced and deeper. I mentioned to @corelli that I was considering a pair of subs (and still am), but the improvement to a noob like me was quite astonishing and made me a believer.

@lancelock,
Your 'second system' is looking pretty sweet! Been anxiously following your posts for some time. I'd have to estimate around 140, maybe 150 hours on the speakers. You probably have read it as well, but I know some have opined that the DIs need somewhere around 200 hrs (think one might have said closer to 400 or 500 hrs) to be fully broken in. So I'm pretty content w/ the current sound, but will have no complaints if it continues to improve!

@corelli,
Always appreciate your take and advice. At the moment I'm thinking that I agree in that I probably don't 'need' subs with the SEs. Although, there is a part of me that has always loved feeling the pressure that a sub(s) can create in a room. I'll  keep you posted.

@david_ten,
Cheers!
