mac, I know you have probably posted this but what are your room dimensions and how did you place your speakers, seated position, and what toe in did you settle on? 
Tekton Double Impacts
Yes, if you do the math the value here is very high indeed.  It's not just the cost of the drivers, but how they were all integrated.  I think I now get what that patent is about.The cool thing is all the options you have.  Even if you opt for a b...

mac, you are right.  I don't have enough hours on them to comment on their ultimate bass extension.  Will post later on that.  As I said, the bass is of great quality even now.I have played around a lot with speaker placement in this room and I do...

It's been my experience that small monitors often can produce very open expansive soundstages while larger speakers sometimes paradoxically fall short in this regard--just my experience and clearly not always the case

Thanks mac. Very much looking forward to this weekend.  I'm sure you are right--seems our ears/brain learn to accept our prior system as  our point of reference.  After a month or two might be interesting to put the 1.7's back in action.Will post ...

mofojo--beat ya by a day!  Two big (cold!) boxes waiting for me when I got home.  Now for a bit of break in before some serious listening this weekend.  Are they going to be able to compete with the magic of the Magnepan 1.7's??No doubt there will... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Yes.  Seemed like a cost effective upgrade given that it included better wiring (lots of wiring in this speaker) as well as better posts.

Let's not let this thread get buried in the  pros and cons of marketing. Much more valuable to me are the thoughts of independent thinkers that have experience with the DI's.Spent my Saturday at Home Depot buying $300 worth of mdf to enhance my de...

TeajayAppreciate your frank comments on the Pendragon/DI comparison.  I always become a bit uneasy when someone loves every speaker of a given brand ( especially one as diverse as the Tekton line). You're mentioning many of the traits I'm looking ...

Put in the order today.  Added the upgraded caps, wiring, connector package.  Kind of crazy how this hobby has evolved over the years. Remember how I assembled by first system after only much careful A-B' ing various speakers, etc. Assembled a Pio...
