| Tekton Double Impacts Vitop, the Ulf's are more holographic than the DI's. Some recordings jump out at you from them. One big difference between the two, is the amount of detail that the Ulf's reveal. They are detail monsters and hold nothing back. The Ulf's are still ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Question for the amp experts: would a Pass Labs 100.8 be sonically superior to the BHK 300's that I am using now? I like the BHK's very much, but am open to other amps. Thanks. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Craig, I didn't use any feet/spikes/gliders on the Ulf's or the DI's. Just put them on the bare carpet. Eric did mention building a plinth for the Ulf's, but I have not heard anymore about it. I'm guessing that it's to raise the height of the spea... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Mac, I'll have to revise my original estimate of the DI's versus the Ulf's. Broken in, the DI's are only about 70% of the way to the Ulfberhts. Nothing really changed until I got to 30 hours on the speakers, then they gradually opened up. More det... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Yep, I got grills with them. I don't think Eric likes to make grills, as they usually take months to show up. I need them to keep my cat's fur off the drivers. Dusting these monsters would be a chore!As for fireworks, I was playing John Wick throu... | |
| What have I missed in the last 12 years? Get some Tekton Design speakers, and an Yggdrasil dac. They will change your world for the better. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts The Ulfberhts have over 50 hours on them now, and they have really opened up. As good as they sounded at first, they are truly stunning now. Crystal clarity in the midrange, but no harshness. The bass on these speakers is fantastic. The soundstage... | |
| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K I have the Tekton Design Ulfberhts, and they are miraculous speakers. For $12k, they are a bargain, easily besting speakers that are multiples of their price. Bass and midrange to die for. Not picky about amplifiers, either. www.tektondesign.com | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Longdrive, I have the Enzo 2.7's, the DI's and the Ulf's. The DI's and Ulf's are a large step up from the Enzos--much more "real" sounding and vastly superior bass. Live recordings in particular are a real treat on them.As for the Mini Ulfberhts, ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts The BHK 300 is a hybrid amplifier made by PS Audio. It uses a tube input stage of two 6922 tubes, and a solid-state output stage. This gives it some "tubey" sound qualities with the power and control of a solid-state amp. You can even roll tubes i... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Jcarcopo, I would rate the Ulf's at a 7 on your scale. I think folks have misinterpreted my comments about how forward these speakers are. The sound quality of the Ulf's is superb, no question about it. It's the soundstage that I am commenting on.... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts By forward, I mean that the soundstage is very close to the listener, almost in your face. The Ulf's are not excessively bright.My audio chain is: Yggdrasil dac to BHK Signature preamp to BHK 300 amps to the speakers. Same setup I used with the Do... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Craig, the Ulf's have superior dynamic headroom compared to the DI's. I tested this by playing pipe organ recordings at near-deafening levels. No stress/breaking-up of the music whatsoever. My dad played his piano recordings at thunderous levels, ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Vitop, that would be correct. Though the bass is the most noticeable difference, so far. Also, the Ulf's have a very forward presentation to them compared to the DI's. This is settling down somewhat with burn in, but it's still there. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Klh, it's hard to say. I've only played them with large amps, greater than 300 watts/channel. From my experience with them and the DI's, I do not think they will scale as well as the DI's. But we'll just have to wait until someone pairs them with ... |
