Tekton Double Impacts
I appreciate all of the information shared here and am more excited than ever to get my DI SE's as I feel they will the best possible sound from the DI while conforming to Eric's design intentions. Is it possible that they could be modded to bette... 
Worked Backwards and Would like to Hear Suggestions on Speakers
Roddyboy,After owning and loving speakers from Vandersteen, Magnepan, Revel and Legacy I'm enjoying the Tekton DI's more than any speaker I've owned. Seemless driver integration, dynamics a plenty, the best bass I've heard and a realist midrange w...

While I'm loving the sound of my DI's driven with tubes and will most likely stick with them for a while, the simplistic all in one Lyngdorf solution is so very intriguing. I also appreciate its understated design. It's something I definitely need...

Wow grannyring, thanks for such an informative and detailed post. You are giving me the motivation I need to try doing some of the mods to my DI's......especially since I'll have the DI SE's in case I screw up my DI's trying to mod them. Thank you...

Thanks for your update bullitt. Very informative and interesting. The Lyngdorf seems to suspend traditional belief......how can one seemingly innocuous unit perform so well on so many levels? And do so at such a reasonable price? Very intriguing t...

I thought my original Enzo's had an amazing slam factor......until I got my DI's and they took it to a whole new level. I imagine the SE's I have on order might have even more slam factor and I can't even begin to imagine what the 1812's provide! ...

Stfoth, Aric is definitely worth giving a call. High quality parts, hand assembled by Aric himself and he's extremely competent and trustworthy. He's building a 300B SET for me right now.

Congrats 333jeffrey, I found the same type performance with the Concert Fidelity DAC. I didn't realize just how much of a difference a DAC could make. I had the Yggy and Perfectwave DAC previously and as good as they are they don't compare to the ...

Jay, the speakers are 6' o.c. with the listening position about 8' from the speakers. Thanks for the recommendations Greg and Charles. I have some new CDs to look forward to Monday now.thanks Aric, you explained the amp build far better than I eve... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Charles,I'll let Aric discuss the technical aspects of the build as I'll most likely get it wrong, but yes I also believe he will create what I'm looking for in an amp. Thanks to you and your Frankensteins I had a lofty goal to aim for. I look for...

A few reasons David. One, while the Frankensteins are superb I have total faith in Aric to design and build an amp that will bring about the same musical bliss. Two, simple finances. I've been spending too much on audio lately and at $3600 Aric's ...

Lol Jcarcopo, I hate to admit it but I sure love some good tube glow.....especially the pics I see of tube glow enhanced with blue LED's. Eye candy is good too!Not sure what I'll do with the KT88, David. Might keep it for a back up. Might sell it.... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Perfect timing as I just commissioned Aric to build me a " no holds barred" 300B SET. The KT 120 amp of his is VERY good but I'm going all out with this custom 300B build in hopes of finally obtaining my forever amp. I'll be going with the EML 300...

A lot has been posted here since last night. Fun times.Yes Charles, I am having a ball with Aric's amp driving the DI's. Once things settle down on my end I'm looking forward to having you over for a listen. I think you'll like what you hear as I'...
