| Speaker recommendation Jlr261, Given your needs and budget I believe the Tekton Pendragons is a very viable solution. A large room filling speaker that's also very efficient. Reviews and word of mouth say it has high sound quality as well. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Rebbi.I believe you'll get this sorted out. Obviously the 3 watt SET should not out drive your 8 watt SET. This is evidence of the Tekton's easy to drive reputation(3 watts!). In hindsight fingers point to your amplifier. I recall Brownsfan not ha... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Mikirob, I have the same feelings toward the DIY crowd.There is a broad spectrum of competence and talent amongst them. Some of them are quite capable and have built excellent products. Overall however there's a tendency for self pats on the back.... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Hi Rebbi,Unless there's some unknown sonic penalty I'd choose the larger more efficient Lore just you and Mapman. Reading various reviews people are genuinely impressed by its sound quality, no easy feat at that price point. I seems to be much mor... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Hi Rebbi,As your amplifier burns in it steadily sounds better and impresses you more, no surprise. Keep this in mind for perspective, you're using generic 300b tubes, yet the amp sounds very good. Further down the road you may have the chance to t... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Rebbi,I have a gut feeling that the Tekton Lore is an excellent choice when all is considered. I have no reason to doubt Mikirob's strong impression and enthusiasm. If the Lore is as open a nd transparent as many have reported you amp should simpl... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Mapman,"Strategy elastic' I like that concept.Mikirob,You didn't waste your time in my opinion. I get the feeling the Tekton Lore is a hidden gem at a very approachable price. Every now and then you can come across a low cost(relatively speaking)p... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... One thing I've noticed about the audiophile community is the secondary nit picking of someone's obvious enthusiasm over a product. I suspect that the intentions are good but some how people can't seem to resist. Rebbi is simply thrilled and happy ... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Rebbi,LOL! You must have posted a few seconds after me, We made the same point. Your method is fine believe me. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Test pilot,I think the direct discount is factored in the price. I believe this speaker would be more money via the typical dealer network approach. For 3K you're getting an exceptional speaker just as Brownsfan described. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Smctigue1,Hi, some may feel as you do as well. Once I've live with an amp or any component you know its sound and character quite well. Playing familiar music and comparing it to what you heard previously(in the same system) has been very effectiv... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Brownsfan,I feel that the uncolored transparency of the TE is ideal for Rebbi's amp, it will expose all the glory it has to offer. Although revealing the character is natural rather than analytical. Rebbi you must be somewhat surprised by the marg... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Rebbi,Israel used to do all the big/popular audio shows. He has cut back on his show schedule in the past couple of years I've noticed. He's likely as busy as he wants to be these days. Rebbi I'd check with him and see if he plans to do any upcomi... | |
| Audio - Post Divorce Lou,With your new perspective and appreciation you're going to be just fine😃 | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Bill,"Massive quality" I like that! |
