Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering
Grannyring and schw06, I agree with your comments/ take on this as well. If I were really interested in a speaker I’d welcome the opportunity to hear it in my system. What better way to assess them could there possibly be? What is a superior scena... 
Sonic qualities of SET output tubes?
Blindjim, At the risk of redundancy I must agree with Whart and his sage advice regarding amplifier and speaker matching, a critical point. This is especially true for lower and mid powered tube amplifiers, you have to consider your options simult...

Hi Lance, I’d also like to thank you for your listening impressions of 2 very different amplifiers. You must be happy knowing that you can enjoy excellent sound with either choice. This tells me that both amplifiers are high quality designs and we...

Mapman,In general terms I agree with much of what you have written. I have had the opportunity to hear many expensive (25 K and upwards) speakers. Some were quite impressive and clearly some were better than others I do however firmly believe that...

Onhwy61,Read the judgemental comments (from his expert friend) that followed the "question" for example, "comb filtering monster" and "the MTM spacing is ridiculous"Far from a simple and innocent question. Rather strong and negative assessment fro... 
Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering
Onhwy61 ,I whole-heartedly agree with your comment in regard to asking questions about a product.  However it is without question a different matter to present uninformed conclusions rooted in pure speculation. In my opinion the latter scenario ha...

How is Kenny wasting anyone’s time? He owns the Double Impacts and is very familiar with their sound quality. What is more reliable than this experience? It is rather strange that people who have no direct experience with a product can form such s...

According to the many posters on this site who’ve actually  listened to the Double Impacts they are unanimous in confirming their superb sound quality. It seems although this speaker has an uncommon driver array ( relatively speaking) the designer... 
Coherent Speakers from Canada
There are apparently 2 models, both are coaxial.  The 8GR (8 Inch driver) 21 inch tall (monitor) and the floor standing model which can be built with a 10, 12 or 15 inch woofer-midrange driver. All of the models seem to use the 1.75 inch tweeter. ... 
Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ?
Hello Bill,I don’t believe that I’m missing any particular point of yours. You are excited about what is new,different and innovative and you reference the Lyngdorf as an example. This makes perfect sense to me as you have actual experience with i... 
Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ?
Hi wlutke, You definitely have numerous good options available to you. Very knowledgeable and experienced people have posted on your thread and I respect all of them. My gut feeling is that the LM 508ia will make you as genuinely happy as it has f... 
Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ?
Hi Wig,Yes, Balanced AC power for an audio system is an excellent decision.  I have used the BPT 3.5 Signature plus in my system for over 8 years.  All components (including SET  mono blocks) are plugged into it. The improvement it provides is sub... 
Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ?
Wig,The 805 tube has a reputation for high quality sound but for whatever reason isn't used nearly as often as the 845 or the 211 for that matter. Charles  
Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ?
Bill,I recall the same type of enthusiastic "the future is here now " talk with Devialet one box solutions that would render all else inferior.  Sorry, when I heard this brand/products I was underwhelmed to be polite.  Lyngdorf may be a better sou...
