Tekton Double Impacts @kdude66 Thanks for the link, Kenny. Yes, the SIT 3 is intriguing. | |
Tekton Double Impacts @laaudionut One of the repeated findings owners across the board have mentioned is that the Double Impacts are easy to pair with gear. I cannot imagine you being dissatisfied if you drive them with your McIntosh components. Perhaps others can chi... | |

Member's recommendations for tube amplification @almarg Thank you for pointing that out. I'd rather play it safe with matching the amp to the speaker appropriately. Appreciate the link to the M-60s on offer by Duke / AudioKinesis. And for the information on your VAC Renaissance amp. | |

Member's recommendations for tube amplification @larryi Thank you very much.

Tekton Double Impacts @evolvist Thanks for the updates on the 'mini' Ulfs. Looks like a great outcome for you, other than the wait you've had to deal with. I'm sure you will be satisfied with the DIs. It will also give you some time to work out synergy and pairings an... | |
Tekton Double Impacts @seikosha Thanks for the Quicksilver mid mono recommendation. I have seen Quicksilver listings, but have never heard them personally. Can you PM me with your impressions? I don't want to go off track here in the DI thread. Thanks.@sbayne Vinni... | |

Tekton Double Impacts @porscheracer Were the 2ch preamp recommendations from a couple of weeks ago not good for your needs? Is there something specific you are looking for? | |
Tekton Double Impacts @evolvist Zoltan says: October will be a music filled month for you. | |
Tekton Double Impacts @lak I imagine it will be an amazing pairing. Would love to hear a member's take on a 300B driving the Double Impacts. | |
Tekton vs. Salk Sound? +1 on @hifiman5 's recommendation. I'm using Herbie's Giant Threaded Gliders to great effect with my Tekton Double Impacts. |
