Tekton Double Impacts
Can anyone comment on their patented design and how its sound differs from "standard " dynamic speakers?

Speaker damage?
Don't worry about it. You're fine.... Enjoy your new speakers. 
Looking to upgrade my preamp, suggestions?
The C48 is probably as close as you'll get to a tube sound with an SS pre. I have no doubt you'll be pleased. Let us know... 
Can Pass XA60.8's drive Revel Ultima Salon2's without their tongues hanging out?
Now that is a smart move..... temptations are always there no matter what you currently own... 
What is most important part of a system?
OP, your final analysis has a complete dependency on what turntable and what CDP was used to arrive at that conclusion. Different models of each would have resulted in a different conclusion. All things being constant including the listening room,... 
Can Pass XA60.8's drive Revel Ultima Salon2's without their tongues hanging out?
 I always thought you need real high powered amplifiers to get a decent sound from inefficient speakers in a large room. We just did an experiment this past weekend which proved (to me) that it really boils down to how loud you listen to your musi... 
TEKTON OWNERS
Don't know about Tektons' tweeters but the last time I tried "upgrading" a pair of tweeters- similar situation; same brand but higher model, it came out too bright. If you're planning to do this, have resistors at hand in case you need to attenuat... 
Resale value of new speakers
This is not that unusual but varies state by state as well as the insurance agreement. I think it's unfair to indict the OP for potentially legitimate question. How many of you know (or have read) exactly what are all the fine prints in your home ... 
How do the Elac Uni-Fi UB5s compare to more expensive bookshelf speakers?
Another point to keep in mind is the cost of the stands. They tend to make a noticeable difference in the sonics so you don't want to skimp when buying a $1500 speakers. 
Why pay so much for super high end?
"Hopefully one of these days a factory direct speaker company comes out that uses all scan speak illuminstor or seas high end and does what these 7 figure speakers do but not price rape you."Search around, there are quite a few brands out there th... 
Which preamp is better C50 or C2500 for MC402?
I have heard the Audible Illusions 3A extensively at a friend's who actually recently switched to a Calypso as an upgrade - his words, and I completely agree that it is indeed an upgrade. He had originally bought the AI for its excellent phone sta... 
McIntosh MC 275 - what generation is better
If it were me I would make sure I audition the MC275s in my system before swapping out the Pass amplifier. You don't need as much power for the bass since its powered and the higher frequency is where the  MLs will need serious power. 
Is It Safe to Warm Up Power Amps Without Speakers Attached
Worse yet is "moving over" speaker wires to the amp while its powered up. A good way to damage, possibly permanently, the output stage of the amp.
