| Tekton Double Impacts Bill,YOU ARE THE MAN!Now I've got a great DIY project and upgrade pathway that I can obsess over for months. I hope you know what you've gotten yourself into--lot's of questions I'm sure. New caps will make great stocking stuffers this Christmas... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @don_1 Maggies will always be a speaker that I'm fond of. They occupy a very special place in the history of audio IMO. Good old American ingenuity--a great product at a very good price. But another great American value would be the Tekton DI's... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Bullitt,Like david_ten, wondering what specific sound qualities you noted in this comparison.Also, when you listened in the corrected vs. uncorrected comparison, did you change your speaker position? A bit surprised you were reluctant to post--... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Luke,The 1812's are more aimed towards the home theater crowd. Music lovers would be better served by the Ulf's. (This is per Eric) I do not recall any posts here by 1812 owners. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts ccc,several months back several DI owners placed there speakers very close to the front wall just to evaluate how much this would compromise the sound. I was surprised to read how well they did with that placement. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts audioman,not sure if I'm following you entirely on your Maggie digression. If you go back to the first post of this thread I had the 1.7's coupled to REL subs. Nice for sure, but I sold them and kept the DI's. Better detail, speed, imaging, sou... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Personally, I am not troubled when someone has a contrary opinion to mine. Always been an independent thinker without a need to be in the mainstream of things. If someone wants to challenge much of the consensus on this thread--go for it. On oc... | |
| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? Not to be offensive, but how in the heck can I guess what YOU think is beautiful. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as the saying goes. You're going to have to figure this one out yourself. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts limniscate,You might be surprised how many of us, who love our Magnepans, moved on to the DI's. It is IMO an overall better transducer of music. I was shocked when I first got these and noted more detail and ambient information than my 1.7's--no... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts hifiaddict,I enjoy on occasion those recordings that exploit that bottom octave of music. In my room, the DI's are optimized for a big stereo image and I won't sacrifice that by moving them towards the front wall. Given that, I have very high qu... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I would agree break in is rather fast with the DI's. I felt after 75-100 hrs I was there.Interesting comments on driver break in by Eric. I suspect that the prolonged break in by some speakers may relate to woofers with particularly stiff rubber... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Funny you mentioned the Gold Lions hifiman5----was reading on Upscales site the 12AU7's reviews and others felt this to be good choice in terms of what I would look for as well. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Charles, not at all do I mind. I have really enjoyed the quality of the posts and individuals on this thread. Never did I imagine this thread would take off as it did--and still going strong! While there are many divergent opinions on gear we h... | |
| what speakers to buy Lots of good choices out there.I'd save the road trip. To me, it's not very helpful to listen to a speaker in an unfamiliar room/electronics. Just a poor way to make a big decision. You have to do a home audition.So taking a chance on the Tekto... | |
| Should there be concern? After many good transactions finally had a bad one. Seller rated as mint. I found a total of 5 defects. While we renegotiated this to closure, what a pain this was!Yes, there is more overrating now than before. There is a similar post from 3 we... |
