| Tekton Double Impacts Indeed I did Charles, good memory!343mps, the double impacts driven by the Kismet Mono-blocks and Candela preamp was a dynamic tour de force. I've never heard such realistic drums, it was a real slam in the chest. I've since gone the SET route, an... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts(4 ohm version) with two distinct amps. I trialed the Primaluna HP with the Tekton Enzo's but didn't purchase the Primaluna. I much prefer either the Aric Audio Transcend or 300B SET amps with both the DI's and the SE's. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Ozzy,On the Aric Audio website under "tube gear" you'll see the last five models with the brushed aluminum chassis and transformer covers.....the Motherlode, the mini lode, 300b SET, special 6sn7 Linestage and special KT88 amp. Hope that helpstom | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Ozzy, Did you see the newer brushed aluminum chassis? While more expensive I think they look nice and are more robust also. Not pyramidal though! 😀Xenophon,I concur with laaudionut, Aric is great to work with and his gear is first rate. I don't ha... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Congrats jcarcopo, I can't imagine you not being happy with the new speakers. The color sounds cool also. Sorry to hear about your dealings with CPT but it's not surprising as he pleaded guilty to fraud, or something like that, in his previous aud... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts David,Like you I've upgraded my entire system since getting the DI's, including upgrading the DI's to the SE's. The DI's allowed me to truly appreciate the music more than any other speaker I've owned, causing me to reevaluate my entire system in ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Dan,Thanks for the extremely thoughtful and well stated post. I believe you've hit the nail on the head. I have to chuckle at the no talent a$$ clowns ( sorry, one of my favorite lines from Office Space) that think they have all the answers as to ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Agreed corelli, the DI/SE design certainly is something special. When ordering my DI's I had no idea what they would look like or sound but trusted in Eric's talents and it was a gamble that definitely paid off. One of the many things I enjoy with... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Congrats rubytuesday. Great looking room and gear. There are so many great choices to drive the SE’s and your LTA gear will sound great with them. I drove my SE’s with the MZ2 for a while and it sounded great.....within the limitations of one watt... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I haven't been online much lately and it looks like I've missed a lot of good stuff. It's also great to see this thread maintaining its civility while sharing many different upstream gear options, different room conditions, differing listening pre... | |
| Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts? Thanks teajay, pretty impressive comparison to speakers costing many times more in the review. I've never heard Wilsons but the Tektons seem to get compared to them often. Like many others here I upgraded from the DI's to the SE's and couldn't be ... | |
| Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts? There's no one speaker to rule them all? My SE's are still precious to me :)olesno, the SE's take quite a while to fully break in so you're in for even better listening sessions in the future. Enjoy.I agree with waltersalas and grannyring......syn... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Dj,I'll echo what Corelli and lancelock said as my room is only about 13.5'x17.5'. The SE's/DI's sound great at low or high volume levels and will work in any sized room they can physically fit into. Brian,Thanks to you ordering the Motherlode I w... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts It is interesting Charles. I believe that both of us utilizing 300B's and having similar DAC's along with speakers that are very transparent has given us very similar sounds. It will be interesting to hear what the EML 300B's sound like in my syst... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I’m not daring enough to upgrade the caps myself Corelli, I’ll leave that to Aric. He put the same caps in the Motherlode preamp he made for Brian. You’re more than welcome to stop by should you ever be on this side of the state......just bring so... |
