TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS
I have to believe the best upgrade would be of the crossover to higher quality components. I've experienced that making a significant difference in performance. #2 would be a cabinet upgrade. Not because there is a problem with what tekton does be... 
Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander
Upgrading the passive crossover components is an excellent idea. It’s always resulted in substantive gains in my experience. But the ultimate upgrade would be an active crossover. That presents a whole new level of complication and expense (like t... 
Class D for a Tube Lover
I love my Lyngdorf what was chosen in side-by-side comparisons against both LTA tube amps and a couple of class A and AB amps. I couldn't believe it was the best of the lot, but it absolutely was. I have the TDAI-2170. And another advantage is, yo... 
Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ?
From Nelson Pass... WHY CLASS A? Class A operation is integral to the performance in this case, and it is worthwhile to explore why. The primary virtue of class A lies in the smooth characteristics of its operating parameters. The gain trans... 
What makes speaker's sound big?
I have a pair of Tekton Ulfberhts. They are 7ft tall and contain quite a few drivers. They certainly sound big. I also have a single driver LII Audio Fast 8 in a simple open baffle by itself. Amazingly they sound big also! Both sound big in the ro... 
Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so
Look at Lyngdorf. You don't even need an external DAC with their integrated amps so simplicity and a big money savings. Very flexible. Even has an HT Pass-Through mode. If you get the 1120 it has all the connectivity you would likely need. I have ... 
looking for a Integrated amp $6,000 range
Auditioned LTA, Odyssey, Pass and Lyngdorf in A-B comparisons in my own home. Plus a couple more. Room got quite crowded for a while! And Lyngdorf just to give Digital a shot but thinking it had zero chance with my anti-digital amp bias. Lyngdorf ... 
Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog?
I've explored CD, FLAC, and Analog-Record sources. All with pretty high end signal paths. My Feickert Analog turntable for example. Results... FLAC files derived from CDs sound the best TO ME. I actually sold my OPPO after discovering this and not... 
High end Class D amps?
I A/B tested LTA, Odyssey and Lyngdorf in my home. I auditioned them for my wife, with exceptional hearing as tested, and my Daughter, also excellent hearing, and neither having any idea about the technology. The Lyngdorf 2170 was the overwhelming... 
DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000
Purchase a Lyngdorf DAC. They throw in my favorite amplifier with it for FREE! https://lyngdorf.steinwaylyngdorf.com/lyngdorf-tdai-3400/Seriously, I am also digitally inclined as apparently you are. I went through an number of Tube/Class A/Class A... 
High end stereo preamps? Worth it?
My solution was Lyngdorf. No need for an upstream DAC. After years of SS and tube pre/power this is by far the best solution I found. My goal has always been to find the amplification system that acts like the proverbial wire with gain. Adding no ... 
Have you changed your mind about a brand? Was it you, or them?
I went from three sets of B&W speakers to Tekton. Folks that know me were shocked but to a man, after listening sessions, totally agreed.After years of digital solid state, I tested several higher-end amp configurations. Including very expensi... 
Speakers which always sound good
The folks you describe don't sit down and listen to music unless it's associated with a video and are generally satisfied with a soundbar as an upgrade. As far as music the best answer I saw in this thread is Headphones. I will add they also liste... 
Are all Audiophiles masocists?
I do like it a bit roughLOL.  I also wanted to mention we have a C7 Z06 Corvette. It isn't fast enough either. Wondering when the C8 Z06 is going to happen.  
Are all Audiophiles masocists?
Get a proper tube amp, a non-oversampling DAC and enjoy the music and stop chasing new gear. We seem to be a bit condescending too. LOL In fact several ingrained character traits have emerged to be prevalent in this post. I guess that means we'r...
