| Tekton Double Impacts I ended up yanking my center speaker and just use the phantom image of my DIs. Nothing I used sounded good, so I gave up. After a couple years of doing that, I don’t miss the center channel for movies, but I do miss it slightly for 5.1 music as I ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey @bstatmeister ! Great to hear from you! I didn’t upgrade to the Moabs and think perhaps an upgrade in home is required before upgrading to Moabs, so I am still rock in’ my DI’s.We’re you able to pick up a pair of Tektons yet? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @bullbuchanan , I also think you will be fine with an AVR. I am confident the speakers will outlive the AVR, and it might be wise to build around a pair of speakers you like the sound of vs an AVR. I keep an AVR for movies and multichannel music, ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? I am considering a doing a one-and-done Fleetwood Mac 24/96 catalogue purchase, so today has been listening to them all on Qobuz to see if I like them more than my ripped CDs. And the new Bobbie Gentry remix of Delta Sweete that came out today. Ho... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I have my eye on a used Peachtree Nova, which is Class D. It would mainly be for a secondary system pushing KEF LS50s in a small room, but I can’t help but wonder how it would sound with my DIs. Anyone heard this combo? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @bstatmeister - Audio Advisor states the Nuforce STA200 is not compatible with 4 ohm speakers, so you would need to talk with Eric at Tekton and specifically request a different impedance than the base model. | |
| New efficient speakers - best way to keep noise floor down? So an Ortofon 2M Black would reveal more surface noise than, say, a Nagaoka? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @bstatmeister - it was a real pleasure having you over for the audition, and I am glad it was a positive one in relation to how the DIs compared with the many other brands and models you have been auditioning lately. Also, thanks for turning me on... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Who has the Encores in their showroom, @bstatmeister? You mentioned they were a couple of hours drive from you. I would love to hear these after seeing jcarcopo’s gorgeous red ones and get a taste of that extra 15% in transparency. My 7’ ceilings ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Where in Oregon? | |
| Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time" Unfortunately, I only got to page 2 because of the derailment. I wanted to read a thread about this new line of speakers but it seems I am unable to do that, and it is because of a few people that insist on sharing their dislike for the company...... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts And weekly remind them that there are no grills. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Aniwolfe,my ear is level with the array on my DIs, but I often recline where my ear is lower and becomes at the bottom or just below the array. I like the sound both ways, but the absolute crispness of center vocals when my ear is at the center is... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I can’t wait to hear your thoughts once they arrive, John, and the pairing with the PL. Be sure and listen to them without the grills as well. I really do love my upgraded DIs. They will be with me for many years. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi John. For me it is/was the following:First = True = nothing fancy here. Glue visible on the backside, simple wood frame, cloth tight on frame with square corners, whereas the cabinets are rounded some. Second = True = I got the standard black m... |
