Tekton Double Impacts Bullitt, Keep in mind that transistors have inevitable coloration just as tubes exhibit. Granted the coloration is "different " in nature and character. One can generalize and say tubes tend toward low even order distortion i.e. warmth. Transistor... | |
Tekton Double Impacts Hi Mac, You raised such an interesting yet complex point, the very legitimate notion of science versus "art ". These are two serious entities that matter if one wants to create a superior quality and "sounding " audio component. Where does one end... | |
Tekton Double Impacts Porscheracer, Yes I see where you’re coming from and having people posting here with different perspectives is a good thing. I do accept certain foundational principles but only to a limited degree. I’ll admit that the further I’ve gone along in t... | |
Tekton Double Impacts Hi Porscheracer, I have no doubt that a higher powered transistor amplifier is the right choice for your satisfaction and peace of mind. You must select what is most appropriate and reassuring. I’d however be wary of citing the laws of physics to... | |
Tekton Double Impacts Given the caliber and experience of most of the posters here, those power requirement charts are nothing new and they do serve a purpose. The focus is on SPL generation which is relevant but ultimately but one factor (amongst many) when the goal ... | |
Tekton Double Impacts Hi Corelli, The feeling is mutual. What draws me to this thread is the maturity and decorum of the contributors and the many informed opinions and perspectives (yet not homogenized). It has avoided (so far) the pointless trolling and people simply... | |
Tekton Double Impacts "Let’s get back to reality " Again the implication . I get it 😊Charles | |
Tekton Double Impacts Hello Corelli, Thank you for your kind comments and I thank you for initiating this excellent thread. I want to be crystal clear, I believe that the Double Impacts can sound terrific with solid state amplifiers. My only point (and Al as well) ... | |
Tekton Double Impacts Hi Al, You posted while I was still typing 😃But yes I picked up on that same comment regarding speaker power handling capability. As usual your point was well made. The"required" used by Craig was not factual IMO.Charles | |
Tekton Double Impacts The implication seems to be that because the DI can accommodate up to 400 watts this means that this is the preferred or optimal power requirement for this speaker. There is also the skepticism raised concerning the adequacy of 1 watt of power dr... | |
Tekton Double Impacts What is the law of physics and "facts" that proclaim that the High power transistor amplifier will sound superior to the low power tube amplifier? There is no such law or fact. What is true is each genre of amplifier has its strengths and weakness... | |
Tekton Double Impacts Hi Mac,Just let me know when the time is good for you. I'll be back in Michigan early next week. Charles | |
Tekton Double Impacts Hi Kenny,Thanks for your very insightful comments. You certainly have much direct listening experience with quite a lot of high quality components and speakers. Your impression of the Magico sound concur with mine. Impressive in the Hifi realm bu... | |
Tekton Double Impacts Hi Kenny,What did you think of the Devialant and Magico Q3 pairing? Ive heard both of these but not mated together as you have. Charles | |
Tekton Double Impacts Hello Bill, Thanks for taking the time to share your initial listening impressions. It seems that this is a very well thought out and executed product. Very good news to know a sub 1K dollar low power tube amplifier offers such high quality sound... |
