| Tekton Double Impacts James, I think there's one Ulf owner and no mini Ulf owners, as of 08-11-2017. I could be wrong, though. But maybe those folks have Naim gear. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @pts - one-way shipping. Shipping to you is worked inro the cost of the speakers. If you don't dig her, you only have to eat the fee for her train ride back to Thailand. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @david_ten - As you know I’m into the best front end that I can afford. That’s why I went all-in with the Linn KDS/3, so not only am I looking for speakers that scale like headphones, but also they much bring out the beauty of my frontend. As good... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts So does everyone on this forum own a $4000 headphone? :-) Heh. Yeah, I have the Focal Utopias, but my 14-year old son does most of the listening to them through a Chord DAVE. That's too much gear for him, so I'm probably going to sell that stuf... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @james_w514, I used to own EgglestonWorks Andra IIs. Very fine speakers. In fact, exceptional. I guess like everyone else, though, if I didn't like them enough to keep them I wouldn't be here right now.That's not entirely true. I'm not the kind to... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts If you've got the money, Bullitt, he's got the time. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @mac48025, thank you for your response. It makes plenty of sense. It's also pretty cool that we have the guy who purchased the first DIs in here. Didn't you write that yours are serialized 1 & 2?Perhaps you're right. I need patience. Only pati... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Yeah, 15 tweeters (3 super tweeters?), four (4) 3" "harmonic overtone" drivers, and two (2) 8" bass driver per cab. At least that’s my understanding.An interesting thing is, within a few miles of me (80 miles at the extreme distance) there will be... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Bullitt, We certainly shall see. If these things take a month to get to me, I'm pulling out, though. I'm not going to sit around and wait for months on end. I know it sounds like a hard line, but a month is about standard for a custom build from m... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @James_w514, yeah, you know, that 8" driver is probably not optimal for large rooms. Mine is small, at 13x12x8, so I figured I would go for it, especially since bass is so hard to control and also difficult to articulate right with a sub. There ar... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @teajay , ah, so you don't actually own a pair of DIs? The price must have been too steep what with all of those amp purchases. Heh. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Nah, Bill. I mean he says it's the best. 63.5" tall, 15" deep, 10 1/8" wide. Not the 12" bass drivers, but 8". I ordered mine today. The worst case, I'm out $300 in shipping. The best case, I have some speakers that blow me away. I'm in. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Just for the record, I have nothing against Class D amps. In fact, I have nothing against anything in the audio world unless the sound turns me off. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @david_ten , well, I hope I don’t raise any hackles here. :-) Heh. But Merrill can put all of the fancy wire they want in their amps, all of the bling, hyperbole and superlatives into their amps, but it’s still a switching amp no matter how you sl... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Okay, so...I made another trip over to Bullitt's house to hear his new Schitt DAC, as well as his new speaker placement. His system is really starting to come into its own for two-channel. When I put my ABH2 in again, the sound just bloomed once m... |
