| Tekton Double Impacts Doing modifications to speakers is a total waste of time.......only because I haven't gotten up the nerve to do it myself yet! 🔉😀🔉I actually think the idea of upgrading the crossovers on my SE's is a great one, I just need to find a pair of cheap ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I hear you teajay, while I've owned some very good speakers none were in the $20k price range..........and thankfully with the SE's I'll never have to spend that much! | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey teajay, were they listening to the DI's or the SE's? I'm sure SI's was a typo, but who knows maybe it's a new hybrid of the DI and SE :) | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I too love all this thread has had to offer. It's great hearing from so many different people driving their DI's with many different components and also how they can be modified. I love the IDEA of the modifications but don't trust my skills ( or ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Grannyring, I could have sworn they sold the WE wire by the foot, but I just see 100' roll pricing now. They have pics of smaller runs so it might be possible to buy in smaller lengths. I too like the Duelund wire and if they come out with a 10 ga... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey Bill,at www.westernelectric.com they have the WE KS-13385 wire from 2-28 gauge. If you go to PRODUCTS then COMPONENTS you'll find it.While at the site check out their WE 300B Monoblocks with eight 300B's per channel. I like their vintage looks... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Grannyring, have you an experience with the cables Western Electric is selling? They have from 8-24 gauge I believe. It's newly made but made by Western Electric. I came across it when looking at their 80th anniversary re-issue 300B tubes set to c... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Live acoustical music is my fav and one of the reasons I enjoyed my time in New Orleans so much. There were musicians performing at practically every street corner. While reproducing the sound of such live music isn't possible IMO getting as close... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks corelli, Aric really came through with the new upgraded chassis. They're not only better looking but are much more substantial and sturdy. And yes, most importantly they sound exceedingly good. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Oh David, I envy your food world in the big easy. Never have I tasted so many delicious dishes while visiting there. Add that to the great music, festive atmosphere, interesting architecture and history and I'll be sure to visit again. Music and c... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Just to clarify the MZ sounded amazing with my Aric KT 120 amp. It was full of life, energy, speed and dynamics. For some reason when paired with Aric's 300B it lacked all of those qualites and sounded anemic to me. Your description of anemic matc... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Corelli,I don't think Aric has pics of the upgraded chassis on his site yet. I have a pic of it on my system page here. I sold my MZ. Even though it's an amazing preamp it didn't work out with the new 300B. Maybe it's an impedence issue? It made t... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks Charles, I have one more change to make next week and then we need to schedule a time for you to come over for another listen. I'll be texting you soon to set something up......so get some CDs ready to bring over! Actually it will be more e... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Like David, I find that the SE's are even more revealing of whatever is upstream of them than the DI's.......and yes, that's saying something. They also take much longer to break in than DI's, but it's a wait well worth it. Ive settled on the Aric... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Does the MZ power light come on? If not, maybe a blown fuse? |
