Tekton Impact
I just noticed on the Tekton website, the Impacts are listed as weighing 89 pounds.....previously it showed 71 pounds; which is it? 
Tekton Impact
Powerglide,Yes, I do have a Dennis Had Inspire SET amp....the Electron's sensitivity rating is only 2 less than the Impact. The latter at around 1.8K may very well be the "bargain of the century".....so back to what is lacking in comparison to the... 
Tekton Impact
Since the Electrons seem to be the "official" baby DIs, just what do the former lack in comparison? The Electrons are smaller and lighter, but just a few dollars less. I have a room available that is 11'x10'....obviously too small for the DIs. I'm...

Hi Welcher,Can you compare the presentations of the ET5 and Premier 16? I would expect the latter to have a warmer, fuller sound....or as some might say "colored", while the ET5 is probably more neutral. Thanks!

I'm aware of that....I'm planning on tube-rolling, so I need to know how the pairings work.

Good Speakers with Pass XA30.5 Power Amp?
Anyone try original Quads (57s) with the XA30.5? Apparently the XA30.8 is a great match for the Quads according to an online review.
