| Tekton Double Impacts @teajay Terrific news. Will Ezra have the Aric Audio monos in his system at the time the DIs are set up? If not, what will he be using for his amp?I'm curious about your take on speaker sensitivity and drive-ability with different amps with resp... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Mention coffee and the universe lights up. 18 happy messages read while sipping my Barista Scuro. Listening, reading, typing, sipping...life is good. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Remarkable coincidence. I ordered a coffee maker today. A new Nespresso model. What did you get? Is coffee and music a preferred pairing? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @mack71 Awesome that it all worked out. Congratulations!I imagine you may have a very enjoyable weekend ahead of you. | |
| Tekton Preview / Audition in Minneapolis @soundermn When I posted it said the thread had been removed. I'm glad I rechecked.I think you have a good plan. If that doesn't work out or if you are unable to audition at a current owner's home, here's what I recommend:Go with the Double Impa... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @lak I took a look at your speakers via the link you posted. I personally don’t have any experience with them.However, based on the design, I would say that @sbayne ’s take is very much on point.The special attention to the bass drivers, setup, fr... | |

| Member's recommendations for tube amplification @mountainsong and @lalitk Can you expand on why Mastersound? Thanks.I've had Ayon in system before and liked what they did. | |
| What's the weak link in my system? @dlcockrum There are very notable exceptions.....No kidding. : ) | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification @clio09 However, we found one interesting exception to that rule. Pairing a 12 watt 300B with a pair of Fritz Carbon 7 speakers (88 dB, 6 ohm) at a very popular audio show. I believe @glennewdick is reporting the same with his Finale amp.I'm... | |
| What's the weak link in my system? What is it that you don’t like -- from a sound quality output / performance perspective?In other words, what’s missing for you?Be as specific as you can...it will help you with direction and choices. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Just so it's clear, I'm not saying that the DIs do not edit. I believe every speaker does. The DIs do so in a way that is different, to my ears, than the norm for most boxed / similar driver based speakers - again based on my ears. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Brian, That's great news. Congratulations!One point though, and it's the proverbial ying/yang issue.Your 'memory' of your gear, in this case McIntosh, especially if you have been a Mac guy for sometime, has likely been influenced by speakers that ... |
