| Tekton Double Impacts Kenny, The LTA M2Z-S is such an obvious choice I didn't bother to mentioned it in my posts earlier. I just assumed awareness of it given the multiple times its been discussed in this very active thread. So I thought I would offer a few alternati... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering Hi Mikirob, You judge audio products by how they sound? Well so do I, Yes I understand that this is a strange and unconventional approach 😊There’s an odd aspect of the High End audio community in that products can be looked down upon and dismissed... | |
| My jazz collection told me to get a *real* system Hi, I’m a jazz aficionado as well. I attend live jazz performances often and have accumulated a large collection of jazz recordings over the years. Why the aversion to tube electronics? Good quality tubes reveal the beauty and scope of this wonder... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering Hifiman5, This speakers are sold direct which will reduce the retail price. They could simply be "under priced" for the performance rendered. I had an opportunity to hear the Double Impacts driven by my 300b SET amplifier earlier this week. This i... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Another highly regarded 6SN7 preamplifier is the Dehavilland Ultra Verve 3. Should definitely fit into the desired budget rang if used. . Their Mercury preamplifier is also held in high regard. Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts In this price range a number of knowledgeable listeners are very impressed with the Don Sachs preamplifier. An excellent used option is the Atma-Sphere MP-3, very high caliber product. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hifiman5, Absolutely right. There's much mutual admiration amongst top tier musicians. However these very talented folks ultimately want to express themselves with their "own" sound. Particularly in jazz the art and skill of improvising affords t... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank, I'm an admirer of both trumpeters ,have many of their recordings and listen to both artists often. Personally I don't believe that account. Both had their individual sound and certainly different styles. Miles was not only iconic but a tr... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hello grey9hound, This is an ongoing active thread and as a result new friendships and connections have evolved. As Bill (Grannyring) astutely pointed out conversations do develop and are openly discussed. I've been an active participant on this... | |
| Current speaker threads are boring Inna,I’ll make the assumption that your ire is in regard to the ongoing Tekton Double Impact thread. It so do you label this speaker "midlevel" based on its cost or sound quality? Just genuinely curious as to how you reached this conclusion. Than... | |
| Current speaker threads are boring Hi Inna, Could you define a "great speaker" ? Is price or performance the qualifying criteria?I agree with the idea that envy/jealousy are factors for "some" who are leery or dismissive of the more expensive range of audio products.It can be point... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Mac71, Tom has heard his Double Impacts driven by 5 different amplifiers. Odyssey (solid state), Decware Torii, Raven Audio, LTA M2Z-S and Coincident Frankenstein , the latter 4 are tube amplifiers . He could "easily" hear the differences of sonic... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Mack71, I agree with Corelli, the Double Impacts are going to pretty much reproduce the character of the front end source, amplifier and cables used in the audio signal chain. Based on my listening experience with them there's relatively little... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Kenny,Your comments about the 2A3 amplifier are particularly interesting because I know how pleased you were/are with the LTA ZOTL 40 amplifier driving the Double Impacts. Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Kenny,In Tom's room the Double Impacts can provide a good sound stage rendition and avoid the sound emanating from the face of the speaker effect. This ability varied with the recording as one would expect. Tom, your system did a commendable job o... |
