Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K)
@vermeer   My previous home in Upstate NY was also a suspended wood floor, though having the main system on the first level meant a more coupled setup to / with the foundation. This house is nearly 100 years old. I'm now in New Orleans in a home t...

Anyone know who may have picked up their CJ stock? 
Tekton Double Impacts
@bullitt5094   Bob, thanks for the clarification. When I read your first major post on the Lyngdorf it read, at least to me, that you preferred the 2170 with the room correction off...which is what prompted my confusion and therefore my questions.... 
Tekton Double Impacts
@jayctoy   Congratulations on the Tekton Impact Monitor! It will be great hearing your impressions once it is fully run in, especially so since you will be driving them with very different amps. I wonder what an all out assault on modding the Impa...

@grannyring Bill, what an incredible post. And what an amazing journey. Thanks for sharing all of it with this group and across Audiogon. AMAZING!!!

@bullitt5094Also, can you provide some specific details of how (in what ways) the Lyngdorf sound / performance was superior to your LTA combination?Thank you! 
Tekton Double Impacts
@bullitt5094 Consistantly over many types of music the LTA was always third, the room corrected 2170 was generally second and the uncorrected 2170 was most often first. Thanks for posting your findings between the three amplifier choices you ma... 
Cable Survey
@toetapaudio Thank you for your response. I wish I was closer, but am a few thousand miles away in New Orleans, U.S.A.I’m presently conducting a USB cable comparison and will post what I’ve learned and the differences I’ve found between these cabl...
