| Tekton Double Impacts Corelli:Exactly. My suspicion is that the ribbons have a slight amount of over-ring that cannot be physically damped at a minute time level. This momentary uncertainty will kill the sense of soundstage. Regardless, they were a fine speaker but hav... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Mac48025Get ready. The packaging and attention to detail in the box structure are truly opulent. You will genuinely enjoying pulling the CDs out of the well-designed folders -- if you can find the one you want out of 80 possibilities.A number of r... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts A second note on precision and detail.This afternoon, had the first opportunity to listen to a favorite Bluray performance of Holst's The Planets by Salonen and the Philharmonia Orchestra (Signum Vision recording). Have been using this recording ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts David_Ten:Wanted to remove any reflected sound from behind the speakers so designed large 3'X4' boxes 3.5" thick that hold "clean" acoustical insulation (read no fiberglass) and designed an interior structure (a bit complicated) that would hold t... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts David_Ten and Ron1264:Used pillows rather than a stool in the same way and noticed the improvement. This led me to design and construct some wall panels that have cleaned up the issue entirely.Have found that Herbie's gliders not only tighten up t... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Mac48025You might want to check out the Bernstein Concertos and Orchestral Works available at Amazon -- 80 CDs for about $120. These are truly great recordings, many still the best of any recorded.The original Columbia tapes were resampled by Sony... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Ron1264Have had the DIs for about a month and agree with much of your assessment. Oddly, my set has always had plenty of bass (measured by REW down to 20z) and I am actually using EQ to soften it a little in order to make all balance. This seems t... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts mac48025I agree with your assessment of the DIs being very refined and detailed. Told Eric that their accuracy and crescendo capabilities are so good they have reawakened my interest in classical music -- that shows off the dynamic qualities of th... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts milpai:Am using Emotiva XPA-1L mono blocks that produce 500 watts each at 4 ohms BUT, for the first 60 watts, pure class A. Most of the listening on the DI is, therefore, in class A and this makes a noticeable improvement. Find that large orchestr... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Now I'm a believer too...On the advice of the above posters decided to try Herbie's Threaded Stud Gliders and damned if they don't work.Installation showed me that the DIs can become very dusty in a month and that the pointy feet don't work at all... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Bullitt: Check out Emotiva amps -- they are SS but considered pro quality. Am using three of them in various home and studio setups and they are very solid and accurate. Like Tekton, they are known for their cost value relationship. It's Emotiva.com. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Yes, David, very helpful. Will order some this weekend.Thanks again.Craig | |
| Tekton Double Impacts David:Can you describe the sound improvement of the gliders? Have never used these animals and would like to know if they would help with my DIs positioned on very hard wood tile.Thanks. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Jeffery:Overall would you say the ULFs have greater dynamic headroom than the DIs? In particular, am thinking of large orchestral recordings where the ideal is to be very loud but not sound electronically/acoustically stressed. Am getting some of ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Jeffrey:Your contributions to this site are the reason why the free Internet works. By contrast, the self-serving "experts" that hang out on other sites confuse the issues and make it more difficult for potential buyers to make the right decision.... |
