Tekton Double Impacts
mac,How are things with your new 300b?  Do you know what output transformers he used in your build?You've listened to a number of amps.  What does the 300b bring to the table that your other amps did not?  Do you feel, driving the DI's, there are ...

donnyYour Rotel integrated will drive the 4 ohm DI's with ease.  I have not heard the Focals but will say the bass on the DI's is very nice.  Tight, clean (but not lean), and nicely extended is my take.  Do they take you into subwoofer territory? ...

cliff, there are two large ports on back and a single pr. of binding posts.  That's it. 
More effecient speakers?
No brainer recommendation.  Tekton Double Impacts. Right at your 3k budget shipped to your door.Efficient speakers don't just play louder--they are more dynamic, a quality that many speakers fall short in.But these speakers are fr more than effici...

cliff, I agree with mac.  You will just have to try your electronics and decide.  I have listened to both SS and tubes.  I enjoy both for different reasons.  We've all said it over and  over--the DI's will let you hear the sonic signature of your ...

Hi Steve,Mac has owned Legacy speakers but  I have not. (We had the Magnepan 1.7's in  common.)  Sorry I can't help you.

Bill, I was listening last night until the late hours (gotta love having a dedicated room.  My wife says that was the main reason we built this house 3 yrs ago!).  In spite of my electrolytic caps, etc. I still had a big smile on my face.  My enth... 
Worked Backwards and Would like to Hear Suggestions on Speakers
@roddyboy You really ought to go to the Tekton DI thread.  Don't get hung up on the Tekton patent verbage or the issue that they blow away other speakers costing far more. (However, in fact, multiple owners have sold far more expensive speakers an...

@grannyring Addendum to above Bill.  I should have made it clear that I would go with an alternative 220uf cap arrangement that would physically fit through the midrange opening as I'm sure the EVO oils do not. 
Tekton Double Impacts
@grannyring Hi Bill,Hoping you might answer a couple of questions.1)As I look at your diagram, am I correct in saying the 68uf cap is only active in the 6.5" midrange crossover? If so, I assume then a separate crossover board could be made for the...

@tektondesign Eric,  Thanks for the advice.  I know tweeter unsoldering/soldering can be unforgiving work.  I will give this careful thought before changing a speaker I'm very happy with as is.What would be really helpful is if you might describe ...

Great posts today.  Glad you are keeping in touch with our thread Eric.  I bought my DI's back early this year and verified I have an older crossover version.  So I do have interest in updating these at some time.  Maybe not to the degree/parts qu...

Wife:  " You'r Mom wants to know something nice you might like for your birthday."Me:  "How about some Mundorf 100uf caps.  Matched pairs would be best :)."

Bullitt,I understand when listening in corrected mode it's suggested the speakers be placed against the front wall for best effect.  So I'm wondering, did you place them that way and then move them out into the room in uncorrected mode?
