| Tekton Double Impacts Congrats middleofnowhere,Im quite sure you won't be disappointed. I bought the Outlaw processor last fall and still haven't used it yet as I haven't bought speakers for the theater room yet. I'm having too much fun and spending too much money on m... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Congrats sjwpwrpro.........glad to hear you're also enjoying all that the DI's offer. Huge sound is definitely something the DI's can portray, the fact that they are so detailed and sound great at low volumes really amazed me. I'm really intereste... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Arcticdeth,There are actually two sets of drivers handling the midrange. Only one of the tweeters is handling the highs, the other six handle the upper mids and there are two 6" drivers handling the lower mids. The DI's are exceptional at conveyin... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts In my room I found virtually no toe in to sound best. I only have my DI's 6' o.c. so that might lead to them not needing to be toe'd in. My listening position is 7.5' from the speakers and the speakers are about 5' out from the back wall and 4' in... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Porscheracer,While it goes against convention I can confidently say the MZ2's one watt drives the DI's beautifully with no flatness, distortion or loss of dynamics or bass. Nelson Pass could probably explain how it does so but I can't. There's an ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts No disagreement from me at all Craig. I agreed that using large amps certainly isn't a bad thing and that I spent many years going that route......and enjoyed doing so and that my current preference are small tubes amps. The great thing about the ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Agreed, overkill wasn't the right word to use, but 40 watts certainly isn't necessary with the DI's......that doesn't mean having more wattage is a bad thing either. The ZOTL 10 would be plenty for the DI's, yet Terry London prefers using the MZ2 ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Lance,Still just using the MZ2 to drive the DI's or have you moved the ZOTL 40 into that system? While the ZOTL 40 would be overkill with the DI's I'd be interested if you find the DI's sound better with only the MZ2 as teajay did. As you know I'm... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I had a hard time believing 1 watt could properly drive the DI's but I took Terry Londons advice and gave it a try. It's been a VERY pleasant surprise. I was very skeptical before trying it yet it sounds much better than my 220 watt SS Monoblocks ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Porscheracer,your Schiit/Tekton DI would indeed make a very formidable budget system. I owned the Yggy for two years and still consider it one of the best DACs I've owned. Another formidable budget system would be Linear Tube Audio with the DI's. ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey Charles,Yes, the MZ2 with the NOS TungSols and either Brimars or Mullards sounds absolutely stellar to me......but then I've not heard a SET amp with my system yet so I bet there's still room for improvement. Teajay's suggestions have been spo... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts For those using the LTA MZ2 with your DI's I concur with teajay's recommendation of NOS TungSol round plate, black glass 12SN7's with the NOS Brimar yellow T label 12AT7's. Absolutely stellar. Beautiful tone and textures, huge and open soundstage,... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Add me to the list of those interested in your impressions of the KingKo, Bill. I'm still loving the MZ2 driving my DI's but will be adding an amp sometime this year and while I'm pretty much set on the Triode Labs 2A3S-FFX, the KingKo could be so... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Lance,It's hard to believe one watt can drive the DI's so well, but I'm a big believer in the MZ2/DI combo. I'm still going to add a SET amp down the road to add that "more meat on the bones" Teajay describes, but I'm in no rush to do so as the MZ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Jeffery,you might want to try spikes or feet with your speakers. I don't know about the Ulfberhts but it definitely improves the sound of the DI's and other Tekton speakers. Without something filling those threaded holes bass escapes from them mak... |
