Tekton Double Impacts vs the competition....
Craigl59:thank you for that explanation. I am picturing it quite well now. I just measured, and the front of my DIs are 36” from the front wall. Do you think placing this material on the front wall the height you list would have a similar effect? 
Oppo UDP-205 DAC vs. The Competition
@f1wheels , how do you like your Ayre? And most importantly, what differences have you discovered between the Ayre and the Oppo?Thanks, 
Tekton Double Impacts vs the competition....
@craigl59, could you please explain the baffle a bit more? I am having a difficult time picturing it in my head.

I am glad I saw your grille pic. I like the sound of the woofers with grilles but miss the sparkle of the top half. I want to keep my current grilles and have thought about asking Eric for another half set...but I fear it may be a year until I get... 
Tekton DI Monitors
Is this issue only relevant to the DI Monitors, or does it pertain to the DI Floorstanders as well? 
Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next?
Often. It is a holistic issue involving different levels of water intake, daily life experience, media format, speaker position, chair position, humidity, how many things are on my mind, what I had for my meals, first/last CD or LP chosen that day...

I have ascertained that the paint flaking on my DIs is due entirely to my mishandling them and not a fault in the paint job. The grill cloth is glued then staples onto the back of the grill frame. This is all well and good. I am not complaining (e...

Thank you all for your input. I think I will certainly contact Eric and Karma about the paint issue. The flakes/chips line up perfectly with the grill staples holding the grill cloth. That is the culprit.

For those who have the upgraded DI’s, what do your binding posts look like? Are they color coded? Polished brass? Dull/oxidized copper?also, for those who use grilles, has the cabinet paint started to flake near where the grilles interact with the...

I got mine in December and the paint is flaking where the grills touch the cabinets.

Thank you!

When looking for replacement feet, does anyone know off the top of their head what the thread size is on the DIs? The Herbies website doesn’t list Tekton as an option.thanks

In hindsight, I am glad it turned out the way it did. I was able to break in the DIs hearing how they were voiced (sans grilles) for two months. That gave me plenty of time to get them to work in my living room and become quite accustomed to their...

I got my grilles today. I really like them, and they helped tame a high frequency spike due to my room. I am glad I bought them. 
Shopping at Goodwill anyone?
At least twice a week. I do the rounds throughout the town. I have got a couple of good deals on SACD players and cables, but only one of the cables is currently being used. I passed on an early pair of Vandersteens because $300 is a lot to get ba...
