| Tekton Double Impacts My heath is fine. My mental health suffers when on the Gon threads as I find they go nowhere due to closed mindedness among other things. I won’t go into it here. Many good folks on this thread and enjoy your DIs. I will take mine to a level beyo... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Evolvist all good points. I am however clearly hearing this speaker’s unique voice. It is what it is. Decide and tweak accordingly. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I should point out that the parts in the $300 Upgrade are interesting. For a DIY dude these are a dream come true. Great design and bones! Dayton $1.50 cap on tweeterClarity PX cap on mid tweeters $8The rest of the caps are all under $5 electroly... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts WE 10 gauge is actually on the warm side completely. Owners know this about the 10 gauge. Wonderful full bodied cable. That is why I own it. The 16 gauge is more lively. My system is geared and specifically tweaked for rich, full bodied sound. The... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Yes fully broken in as they are 3 months old. My comments are vs speakers like the AZ Crescendo and other top shelf speakers. No right or wrong here folks. No need to be defensive or looking for explainations under the rug and the like. All this... | |

| Tekton Double Impacts @audioman58 is correct and does have good experience with modifying and upgrading crossovers and gear. I now have a fully broken in pair of DI speakers with the upgrade package he offers playing in my system. I own them having purchased them from ... | |
| Issues with AudiogoN forum website, anyone? Same here. Since January. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Terry, you may be correct regarding utter transpancy, at least in part. I found the instruments and voices all clear, clean, and so close I could reach out and touch them. Sometimes all of this impact was all on the same sound plane. All of this m... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Agree, we disagree and that is fine. I like the voice of the singer to be attached to the body with the tone that comes with that. It is not just the gear in front that makes this happen as all speakers have a voice and perspective, even the DIs. ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Well you make some good points Terry. His Rogue amp however and cabling are not forward. The DI speakers are more forward sounding as I am sure you know. They do indeed lean towards sounding forward. His preamp does offer the SOTA Lyngdorf room c... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Dennis, room dimensions? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts In talking with @aniwolfe he made it very good point. If you’re listening levels are say in the 70s, in terms of db levels, the immediacy of the speaker may be very comfortable for you. I listen in the 70s but also into the 80s on my system. I als... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts LOL Tom. We still get along famously, as you know I am looking for my next conquest in terms of taking a great sounding set of speakers and bringing them to the next level. At this point I am not sure what that next speaker is. It may very well b... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Well @grey9hound was kind enough to allow me, at total stranger, to visit his home and enjoy his company, his system, and Romeo his wonderful canine companion. Romeo and I hit it off spectacularly! Here are some details of Dennis’s system:McIntosh... |
