Tekton Double Impacts
I purchased my SE's through Mike at Audio Archon and would highly recommend anyone to do so.

Aren't we fortunate to have so many good speaker choices? I feel fortunate to have owned many very special speakers over the years but none have brought me as much musical enjoyment as the DI's......until now that is,as the SE's have taken things ... 
Vacuum tube suppliers
So true rcprince, I failed to mention in my initial post how talking to Andy has led me to tube options I didn't know existed yet worked better in the application I was using them in than what I called to order. His testing and cleaning of his tub...

+1 Vintage Tube Services. I consistently get better sounding tubes from Andy than anywhere else. He meticulously tests, matches and cleans the tubes he sells. His knowledge of tubes, vintage equipment and practically anything audio is very impress... 
How important is the rack you use for your components
Great question ricred, I'd like to know the answer to that also. I'm using Symposium Rollerblocks and platforms under all of my components that are sitting on a solid wood rack I built. I have spikes coupling the rack to the concrete floor. Since ...

Makes sense Bill. I only have about 50 hours on the SE's right now. They are coming along quite nicely but need much more time to really fill in. I'm enjoying hearing their seemingly daily improvements. Becoming much more dynamic, smooth and silky...

So true Charles. Being that my room is symmetrical and treated might make it a perfect candidate for this type of speaker positioning. I look forward to hearing about prenmaths, jayctoys and anyone else trying this experiences and room conditions.... 
Tekton Double Impacts
You are probably right Bill. It totally goes against convention but I'll keep enjoying it for now. Jayctoy is having success toeing his Impact Monitors out also. The mad speaker scientist Eric might be onto something here! 🔉🔉 
Tekton Double Impacts
Hey Charles,Thanks and I agree, let ones ears determine what is best for oneself. You’re also correct that it’s a no brainer to at least try it, it’s the cheapest change I’ve made to my system yet 🤑 I’m glad it was Eric that originally suggested i...

Yes Bill, crazy as it sounds! I've been listening to it this way for almost an hour now and am really liking it. Now, I have a symmetric dedicated room with quadratic diffusers to the sides, behind and above me so that might help but believe it or...

Thanks premnath and jayctoy, I'm listening to the SE's slightly toe'd out right now. My initial impressions are quite favorable. I figured the center would collapse, but not the case. The speakers disappear even more. I'll experiment with differan... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Thanks jayctoy, I appreciate your input. I'll definitely give it a try tonight......even though I'm not looking forward to moving those beasts! About how far do you have them toe'd out? 5-10 degrees? 
Tekton Double Impacts
Toe'd out? I never considered that, or even heard of it. Seems like there would be a lot more room reflections.  I'll give it a try though.

That had to be fun David. Thankfully the Ulfs aren't an option for me with my low ceilings as I can't afford to spend any more money on audio for a while! :)Congrats premnath, you're in for a lot of musical fun. They are sounding better and better... 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
Has anyone tried Walkers Audio E-SST contact enhancer? I don't know anything about these type of products but it seems to be similar with pretty much the same promised sonic improvements. Obviously such claims are easy to make and are pretty much ...
