Lyngdorf TDAI-3400
You know, I used to have an older model Lyngdorf before it could accept RJ45 as a streamer.Now that it has streaming capabilities, I went to their site to see what formats it would take, hoping it would go up to at least DSD64. Well, there's no in... 
Tekton Double Impacts
@teajay  - Another good review! I've never understood why anyone would want tubes in a DAC, though. That's what tube pre-amps and amps are for, as having tubes in a DAC hamstrings the DAC to one sub-set. If one wanted to go all SS at a time in the... 
Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions
Well, I'm excited about the Encores. There is stiff competition out there, but if these destroy the DIs (among other non-Tekton brands, obviously), then it's certainly a good value for the dollar.We all know people are who are spending stupid cash... 
Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions
So, for those who own the Encores and have heard the DIs, how would you characterize the difference between the two speakers? 
Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions
@Jcarcopo, yeah, I wouldn't call that "nearfield," but I get the picture. :-)I could do roughly the same with my room, as I've done that with the DIs...roughly.Note that my DIs were strictly on loan, as I didn't care for them much, but I figured t...

Hell, mine is only 13x12x8, but I have lots of acoustic treatment and the ability to move it around. *sigh*

Hey y'all, what size room are you putting the Encores in? 
Tekton Double Impacts
I just found out a week or so ago that the Encores (aka mini ulfs) were released. I had DIs on loan from Tekton until they were released so that I can upgrade. Now, I'm just waiting for Tekton to get back to me about shipping the DIs back and upgr...

Nah, let it all out. What's the fun in not speaking your mind on an anonymous internet forum?  
Tekton Double Impacts
Man, I have DIs in a 10x13x8 and now they look diminutive with these acoustics I'm placing in the room. Cut this Yo-Yo biz in here. Never trust a guy whose name sounds like a child's toy.How about some Jimi Hendrix? Good. Sounds American and great...

ozzy2,875 posts11-14-2017 9:52pmBTW, some of my previous speakers were the Eggleston Andra 2 (215lbs each) and the Legacy Focus speakers. As I am also a previous owner of EgglestonWorks Andra IIs I can compare them to the DIs, because I've oft...

aniwolfe250 posts11-13-2017 1:52pmAt $16,000 the Devialet D-Premier should sound better than a amp at $4,000 -5kThanks for your input James.Not that it SHOULD...but it had BETTER, for that kind of scratch. ;-)

You know, people are talking about making the mid-bass better with the DIs, though it's the mid-bass that really separates the DIs from many other speakers, which just can't seem to get mid-bass right.Of course, my DIs were made in September, I be...

   ...and I am working on adding a dedicated room in my basement first. I'm full in with @mac48025 on this, too. Working the science of a dedicated room should do wonders. My only thing is, working on my dedicated room is talking FOREVER! - at le...

evolvist, of course you're welcome to come by. I got the impression you had auditioned the Lyngdorf and didn't like it. But if you want to hear it with the DIs, that's great. I also have absorption panels we can play with in the room if you want...
