| Tekton Double Impacts Weekend Music Fest begins. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts 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 ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts 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. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts DI's ought to arrive next week sometime.Spending my weekend working on my dedicated audio room. Turned all that mdf into columns of varying depth that will occupy the front wall. If they don't diffract they WILL look cool when I'm done!mofojo, a... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts 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... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts 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 ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts 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... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I agree with both of you. If it were my choice I wouldn't promote my speakers based on this patent or hype suggesting all other speakers are now obsolete. It just undermines ones credibility and some might even find it a tad insulting. I also u... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Very helpful and consistent with what I've experienced with the 1.7's and read about the DI's. Thanks for your advice. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts mac, thanks for your helpful comments. That's an impressive array of speakers you have owned and good to know the DI's are such a well rounded performer. I'm not a believer in "the best" of anything. But it does sound like the DI's are balanced... | |
| Best reasonably priced SACD player? Exactly | |
| Best reasonably priced SACD player? If you love music go with the Marantz 8005. My Oppo 83se is very nice but for music it's no brainer. Just pop the cover and look at what your money bought. More importantly, listen to how natural your SACD collection will sound. | |
| Magnepans I have owned the Magnepan 1.7's for five years now. Decided to upgrade my Cambridge integrated (which did not sound bad at all driving the 1.7s). On paper I thought the VanAlistine fet valve 600 would be superb with its combination of a tubed in... |
