@twoleftears  Agreed on the needing luck! : ) Your point on 'hyperbole' is well taken and applies. However, as @cleeds  correctly points out, it's present on both sides... whether the descriptors are positive or in favor and / or those negative an...

Tekton Double Impacts
@teajay I’m glad you brought this point up. It’s also a point of disagreement for me. Like you, I will have to listen to the Encores to know for sure. Having visited you and @audioezra and from my first listen of the Ulfberths in @bullitt5094 ’s s...
