| Tekton Double Impacts Kinda crazy. So, smaller cabs and a combined 8" less in bass driver size saves you $4500? Assuming he's keeping the 15 tweeter / 4 mid driver design the same. It would have made sense to me to keep the 2 10" drivers of the DI's together in the bot... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @evolvist Did Eric happen to mention how close the mini Ulfberht gets to the full sized version performance wise?Bill M | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Looking forward to hearing how that works out! | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Just another friendly reminder to tighten up your drivers. The bigger the driver, the more turns I was able to achieve. I finally got around to doing it today. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thank you for the details. Considering the components that it replaces, it's sounds like it's a steal. My Yggy + SS pre + $800 budget Kingko EL84 amp comes in at a higher cost. On paper, an Ulfberht variation + the TDAI-2170 could set the bar for ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @grannyring :Assuming that you tried feeding a separate power amp(s) from your Lyngdorf front end, I'm guessing that there wasn't real improvement to be had over what the TDAI-2170 already has built in? Thanks Bill M | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Well put. I'm also interested in the Lyngdorf solution. It seems to deal with many of the valid shortcomings that evolvist listed. To be honest, I wouldn't even consider tackling room correction that wasn't already proven and simple. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @evolvist:"Remember, my Linn has Space Optimization, which is a unique room correction that doesn’t use a mic. So, you measure the speakers by distance from various locations in the room, tell it what the floor is made of, the walls, windows, etc,... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @vitop:About the Ulf jr's: How tall are they? I would assume they also have the 15 tweeter arrays with 4 low mid drivers. What's the size and configuration of the bass drivers? ThanksBill M | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I believe the Electrons are slightly less sensitive than the DI's. Not sure if that will be of significance or not. I personally would go with the LTA MZ2-S, which is probably the most popularly satisfying preamp on this thread. Especially if I ha... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts When is all is said and done, the one common finding is that the DI's sound damn good no matter what type of amplification is employed. Hi or low power, SS or tube, budget or elite. It seems like people have achieved different ways to get to the s... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts One analogy might be how a normally aspirated 911 would destroy a Dodge Demon on the track when it comes to lap times...😏 | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @david_ten : Yes@craig: I would also agree with vitop. The Lyngdorf is quite intriguing. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts My 2 cents David fwiw: Transparency of a speaker will determine the appropriate quality of the other upstream components in a system. Sensitivity of a speaker will of course determine how much wattage is required to efficiently power them to great... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Okay, I don't know how useful this will be considering that I don't have a good point of reference for comparison. I borrowed a Roland SRA-200E 150 watt pro audio power amp to get me going with the DI's. The Roland surpassed my expectations as a l... |
