Speakers for triode tube amps
@ three_easy_payments   Perhaps you ought to direct your comment to MC, not me.  As you stated, many good speakers exist that would match up well with the OP's need.  Never in this thread did I urge the OP to go with Tekton. To the contrary.  Read... 
Speakers for triode tube amps
As the above post demonstrates, the haters offer nothing constructive to the OP.   
Speakers for triode tube amps
Some very useful comments and then the haters who have never heard a product and take joy in bashing it after visiting a website.  Don't these members care that their credibility is called into question when they behave like this.  Don't they care... 
Is great sound possible through an on-board, MM phono stage?
@cfluxa Wish I could give you more insight into this unit. Ironically I was on the AN site early this am and that amp captured my attention. Thought it looked like a great all in one solution with the right speakers. The high quality parts, abilit...

@chorus    Lots of great feedback here.  Any thoughts?? 
Problem Solvers Needed-Got my New XOs installed and am worried....
If you loved the sound of these speakers what were you trying to achieve with this crossover??  I can perfectly understand replacing the stock crossover with higher quality caps, coils, and resistors.  But did you give him license to rework the cr... 
Quality 1 meter RCA Interconnects under $100?
See the Helix thread and build a really fine IC. 
Tripp Lite ISOBAR8ULTRA
The internals of the Tripp Lite Isobar unit I have are very impressive for the cost.  I only use this on a headphone based system with very low power draw.  In that context, no, there is no degradation in sound.  In fact, less noise and good spike... 
Speaker magnets
There is always a trade off.  The magnet needs to match the designers goals.  Large magnets do increase efficiency.  They also roll off and limit low frequency extension (all other variables being equal). 
Before I order the Magnepan 1.7s...
Are you prepared to place the Magnepans where they can display their virtues or will the be tucked into the room where they "look good."  If I could no optimize placement might well consider one of the above suggestions.  As beauty is in the eye o... 
LSA 20 Statement Speakers
@mbennes   I was looking for a pair of speakers for my secondary system and considered the LSA 20's along with the Tekton Electron SE's.  This system did not allow me to get the speakers as far off the front wall as I would normally prefer.  Terry... 
Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier
@jbhiller   Thanks much for such a detailed and thoughtful response.  Also enjoyed your comparison to the Elekit.  Your impressions of the PL seemed to parallel mine but you used yours with far more speakers than did I. I love elegant solutions--a... 
Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier
Wow. This thread is like a breath of fresh air. Gentleman posting really interesting and helpful information. Well done!@jbhiller Great job on the upgrade and pics. My OCD kicks in on these types of things so I can imagine some angst at removing t... 
Tekton Double Impacts
@morg111    I have always felt that the DI's, to my ear, were fundamentally neutral.  You are right, this speaker is so capable in allowing you to hear what is ahead of it.  As noted above, I do not feel that it is an issue of tubes vs. solid stat...
