What are you using to drive your Tektons?


Hi all,
I recently took delivery on a pair of Tekton Pendragons that I really like a lot. The only "trouble" is, I'm greedy and I want MORE. I called Eric at Tekton and am going to order a pair of Double Impact SEs and send the Pendragons back. I'm curious what any of you Tekton fans out there have been driving your Tektons with that has brought you good results? 
Thanks in advance.

I’m driving Double Impacts with a Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP with 1960’s Mullard EL34’s and Telfunken ECC82’s.In front of that I’ve got a Primaluna Dialogue Premium preamplifier with Telefunken ECC82’s and Amperex 5AR4 rectifiers. Feeding the digital signal is a Metrum Acoustics Ambre Roon end point to a Metrum Acoustics Pavane NOS ladder dac.I’ve recently built an external crossover for the DI’s and did some cabinet treatment. I’ve only got about 50hrs on them and Duelund wire that I rewired the speakers with and I gotta say so far the difference is really noticable. According to Grannyring (Bill Dion) here on
Audiogon, the difference is night and day once they settle and have about 250hrs on them.A big thank you to Bill for his support during this project.

I should add that I subbed in my Parasound A23 for the HP and I found that I lost some of the air, soundstage and the magical midrange that the Primaluna provides.
