| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Mapman, with a low-end that only reaches down to 58hz why would Rebbi want this speaker? the deCapo goes deeper and is better all-round. Rebbi's small complaint was that the DeCapo did not capture the lower octave on stuff with Synth bass with his... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Brownsfan,Your eloquence, kindness and clear thinking is truly what helps make threads like this, Audiogon, worthwhile. Rebbi has a huge rooting section here, he has stimulated outstanding conversation. I look forward with great interest to the ne... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Rebbi,There is a Zu vs. Tekton thread on the Audiogon. It was a couple years ago and was very good, a lot of posts pro/con back and forth. If I can summerize it overwhelmingly came out in favor of Tekton. The Zu's apple to apple cost much, much mo... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... First, let me state that I love the blog, it inspired my wife as well. This discussion has been a most enjoyable thread, as was your thread that started this one on best bargain SET. These threads are amongst the best type that Audiogon has to off... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... First, I completely agree once again with Charles1Dad. Second, Rebbi, you confuse me. On the one hand you now have a system where you state that the low end is surprising you (yet the Manley had a little more grip), ok, understand that, then you s... | |
| Belles 350a or Mccormack DNA -1 Deluxe? +1 Mofimadness and JohnnyR, I have owned the Belles 150a and McCormack amps, their advice nailed it. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Mapman, No, I've said all I am going to say about Tekton. It's a great speaker that will be overlooked by many. Too bad, go pay a few thousand more and good luck. Best. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Brownsfan, I believe, has both the DeCapos (Rebbi's) model as well as the Coincident Triumph, hopefully he chimes in and sheds some light from personal experience.Mapman, the Tektons have no weird impedance dips, like dropping to 2ohms. It remains... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Rebbi, Charles is right as Almarg pointed out, the DeCapo's are likely 86-87db. Get a true 93db or above and everything will get much, much better. And GSM is also correct with his observation that guys like the Zu fellows, Eric at Tekton and many... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Charles,You make terrific points on topic, Rebbi had high power, as did I about 14 years ago with bel canto, loved their dac's back then, but not the amps. Bought the Cary V12, Audible Illusions M3 and the Golden Tube 300B. Really nice sound all a... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... I always understood the latest discussion was about dynamics and not loudness. Being a bass player in Rock Bands as well as performing as a studio musician for a limited time I know dynamics and slam. I think that the Tim Smith articles on dynamic... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... P.S. Really looking forward to Part II of your listening experience. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Rebbi,If it was me, I'd keep your magnificent AN Kit 1 and DeCapo's. Do you really miss Tecno Synth bass in most of your listening? I'm usually happy with speakers that can capture the low E-string on a bass guitar. In your small room most Rock, c... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Read: Magnepans (3.7) AND TEKTON MEET PASS LABS, ODYSSEY, JOB, MERRILL, RED WINE AUDIO, FIRST WATT AND VITUS AUDIO: From Confessions of a Part-Time Audiophile Yeah, according to the article, Tekton (Pendragon and Seas) can go head-to-head, toe-to-... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... And just a little more from Tim Smith: The M-Lores are so good, I almost sold my Harbeth Compact 7s. The 7s, including their dedicated Skylan stands, cost more than four times as much as the M-Lores. In some ways (bass, the ability to play loud, d... |
