| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Rob, I can understand your dilemma regarding the Tekton line, numerous choices with degrees of overlap with in a given price range. How does one make clear delineation amongst them? Rob I can state unequivocally that the DI with the 300.00 dol... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hello David,I appreciate your reply regarding the somewhat mysterious Double Impact SE. Tom will go to Chicago to hear these speakers when Audio Archon receives their pair. He'll be able to provide the essential details and listening impression ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hello David, Congratulations on ordering the DI SE version, I'm curious about this model. Exactly what are the upgrades that distinguish it from the non SE?Does the SE use Scanspeak or some different brand of drivers?Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Musikmann, I have read very favorable comments concerning the Melody P2688 Line Stage. I believe that it is most likely an exceptionally fine sounding component and it or the Coincident Statement Line Stage would be an asset to your system. It wou... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Mikirob,Do me a favor, if you do decide to audition or buy a Lyngdorf 2170 please let me know your listening impressions. You and I seem to approach and listen to music in a very similar manner. I'm opened minded to the new and different and... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering The statement questioning the the cost difference of internal parts between Devore and the Double Impact hardly seems like an "attack". Just a reasonable observation. I suppose it is a matter of interpretation and level of one's sensitivity. ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi David (schw05),Very nice and informative post! I have no doubt that you have a wonderful sounding audio system. I suspect it will keep you very happy and content for years. It seems that the Lyngdorf is quite an achievement and surpasses most... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I would say that you can not stereotype the sound character of a specific tube type, for example the 300b is "romantic ". This can be misleading due to oversimplification. The critical determinant is the level of implementation of the amplifier. ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts David,I didn't know you had interest in the CSL at some point in time. It and the Frankenstein are a very high quality pairing. I believe that any genuinely good Line Stage and power amplifier pairing will work quite successfully with the Double ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi David, Lastweek when I went to Tom's home I thought about bringing the CLS along with the Frankensteins (which are mono blocks). Simple truth, I didn't feel like lugging 4 component chassis with a combined weight of 140 mpouds. Besides we wa... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Muzikmann and Snopro,You two express an interest in the LTA MZ2-S and the Coincident Statement Line Stage (CSL) comparison. Tom (Mac48025) described the differences well and I really appreciate him brining his preamplifier to hear in my system thi... | |
| My jazz collection told me to get a *real* system Goheelz, I can’t think of a more efficient method to hear multiple audio products and developing a feel for what is available and some idea of how they sound. I've attended AXPONA, RMAF and multiple CES and these experiences were very worthwhile. ... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering I don't recall any attacks directed toward Devore speakers on this thread. Charles | |
| My jazz collection told me to get a *real* system Jazz therapist, I wrote earlier that I thought good quality tube components would serve you very well but I’d avoid pushing the idea if you are not interested. Wolf made me reconsider that statement 😊😊. He describes the excellence of low power tub... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts David,I’ve heard Volta a few times at shows (but only with the Border Patrol amplifiers) and they were good sounding speakers. I think that the tone and timbre is a more simplistic issue for me and probably more of a dilemma for you. By that I mea... |
