| SONY Power Amp question: Do not feel the Sony will come close to seeing what these speakers are capable of. I paired these with a Rotel 990 series power amp. Match made in heaven with tremendous low end grunt. The 990 had a huge power supply with great power into low... | |

| Tekton Double Impacts @adversman As you have probably read the DI's allow the flexibility to go in many directions when it comes to your choice of amps. They will show the virtues and limitations of each. Sometimes I think it would be nice to have a stable of amps. ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @mgb1985 The driver in the DI is the Eminenece Alpha. But really it just needs the proper adhesive. Looks like the adhesive jetter suggested would be just fine. | |
| Speaker size and soundstage Speaker size has a lot to do with bass response. It has very little to do with imaging. Many times a simple two way monitor will offer a superior and huge image when set up correctly. One of the things that amazed me with Tekton DI's and the El... | |
| Did I damage my speakers? J, keep in mind a more powerful amp is LESS likely to damage your speakers (by making clipping less likely). So when you "pushed" the speakers into the 80db range you were only drawing one watt or so of power, regardless of which amp was used. S... | |
| Seller ants my credit card info Might as well give out your social security and birthdate while you are at it!Seriously, why would you ever consider doing business with someone asking something like this--even if it were a GREAT deal? | |
| transistor pre with the sound of tubes If the budget is tight, wonder if the Belles Aria pre would suite you. I understand it has an expansive sound stage like tube--but harmonically may be more neutral than "tubey" | |
| So Hard to Decide on an Amp You could end up with worse sound you know. You really need to have clear objectives and if you are not unhappy with your integrated--keep it. "More detail" can come at a price--hard, clinical sound if you are not careful. I once did exactly wha... | |
| Dust Actually, heatsinks and other components that run hot are impacted by dust which is like a wool coat to a transistor. Not a good thing. I have always covered my gear with DIY black synthetic fleece covers. | |
| CHALLENGE: Best speakers for playing 1812 Overture by Eric Kunzel with real CANON at 92+dB The obvious choice--Tekton's 1812 of course. | |
| AVA Van Alstine SET 400 amplifier -- burn in? @hilde45 Forgive my haste. I actually auditioned the FET Valve 400 amp, a step above the SET 400. Good luck, look forward to your impressions. | |
| AVA Van Alstine SET 400 amplifier -- burn in? @hilde45 Years ago I auditioned this amp. I paired it with Magnepan 1.7's. On paper I thought this would be a perfect match. During the 100 or so hours I listened, it's character did not change much. I found it a bit flat and lacking in bass... | |
| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? Think of those circuit boards, connectors, etc all vibrating for hundreds of miles. Then those potholes. Electronics just love potholes. I think the potential for damage far outweighs any benefit that could exist.If someone was bent on checking ... | |
| Best way to wipe off the dust cleaning the gear The Swiffer Snail already exists. Small problem though. Seems to prefer the taste of aluminum cantilevers over dust. Another vote for the more conventional Swiffer. |
