| Tekton Double Impacts Hoping to get some guidance on speaker placement from our DI owners here. I've been reading tutorials on speaker placement and acoustic treatments from Argen. They seem focused on studio monitor implementations with critical listening and accuracy... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Vitop - Hi Fi Destination in L.A. is a Legacy dealer near me and have been meaning to check them out. I'll stop by next time I'm in the vicinity which isn't too often. Raises my blood pressure. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @david_ten Those are all excellent suggestions. Now I remember writing off the Sistrum platforms due to potential instability near kids. I'm giving the Gaia feet a serious look, thanks for the lead. Just like mountain bike frames, a carbon fiber p... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @david_ten I was thinking taller feet as well as I had similiar results with some large Jamo Cornet 100's back in the 90s. There were no feet, so used brackets and JB weld with threaded rod and caps, a college upgrade. Bass tightened up nicely. Yo... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Vitop - Ribbon tweeters sound great and when integrated with cones, seem to provide wonderful air with dynamics, so going with the Tekton DI's as opposed to hybrid ribbon/cone speakers like the Salk HT2-TL or Legacy Signature for a bit more $ has ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts David, somewhere in this very long thread I thought I read that these speakers were better at creating the illusion of a live music performance rather than scalpel sharp detail reproduction. The comments about the speakers being revealing of upstr... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Mac, The KT120 Aric amp may just be the ticket. I just didn't have a good enough pre or dac with built in pre to trust the first watts. I meant to follow up with you on the Focus SE experience, but soon realized it was a $ bridge too far for this ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Greg - So glad you shared your story. I too have tried to find sweeter midrange production with these Gallo 3.1's. Tried parasound and the latest W4S class D amplification, with W4S DAC-2 and Live Dirac calibration. Clarity, detail and imaging was... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts David, Computer room correction with Live Dirac has been a revelation in my system. I am excited to try room correction with tube amplification. W4S ST-500 mkii class D didn't work our for me, but I would have much prefered room corrected class D ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts His room acoustics ... provided a good soundstage and imaging. Several GIK panels were used. Something I will need to work on at home. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @waltersalas My listening session with Matt at Pitch Perfect went well. His room acoustics The LM 508ia and Devore O/96 speakers left me impressed. Piano was reproduced with realism in tone so that I could hear the ivories. Stand up bass and sax t... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Come to think of it, anyone in the L.A. area have some DI's they don't mind demo-ing?The young kid, who bought my amplifier last night laughed when he first heard my system. He's a Bose rep, no joke. I think it was "M.B" or "Knives out" from Brad ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @david_ten - Your right about the integrated, makes sense. If a used LM508ia comes up, that would be my choice. Seems value is easier found in used purchases unless the new products are really that good, and I'm not finding used Raven and LTA gea... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @evolvist After speaking to Eric briefly at Tekton I was left with the impression to not discount the need for power for playing loud. I also have a large 16x20x8 room to fill.Your review of the Raven Blackhawk and comparison to the Benchmark A... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Right Charles, no doubt about the 508ia. Something tells me I need to be patient and wait for a higher quality used set integrated without the 220/120 conversion issue. |
