| Tekton Double Impact Review I agree with the positive things you said about the DIs. They are really good.I also agree with the one negative that at high volumes they get harsh, shouty, whatever. It is 90+ db and mine were early versions and there was a crossover change afte... | |
| 3way replacement for my 2way Not sure where you are located but there is some Dynaudio focus 380s for sale in Florida for 2.5k asking price. I would offer 2 k and see where it goes. Those would be waaaay better than anything new at 3k. Not sure if they will ship but I would f... | |
| 3way replacement for my 2way Just a suggestion, you may want to try a tube preamp before changing the speakers. Although I have not heard it the Schiit Freya + looks really nice for under a grand then spend the other 2 grand on speakers if you still feel the need. If willing ... | |
| $2000 Tektons, which one for my use? I think things start getting better at the Double Impact. I would save up the extra grand for those or find a used pair. I miss the things they did well which are many and would own them again. Not sure about classical but they are very good rock ... | |
| Polk S-8 Speakers getting old Hmm. Budget. Existing equipment (amp, preamp, cd, what are the etc), music tastes, room size, etc etc? There lots of speakers that can do a lot better for you than 40 year old Polks I’m sure for under a grand. Set your budget for around 3k and wil... | |
| Matching solid state amps with tube based pre amps If you want to give it a try buy a Schiit Freya +. Great reviews, I’m thinking about trying one. I have ran Tube preamps with as amps off and on for years. Great combination. | |
| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k Add Bose to the list. They are suweeet. | |
| Best way to spend $1000 on used bookshelf speakers? Dynaudio focus 140,160Focal Aria 906, chorus 807wUsher 718be: maybe for that price | |
| What have other owners of Tekton Design Ulfberht Speakers discovered? @speedbump,that is hilarious although I can relate. I bring stuff in regularly but use the power of 10 rule. It costs a tenth of what I really paid for it unless I got a muthu of a deal then I’ll brag about it. Good luck my man! | |
| A Krell Av Standard Dinosaur Uhhhh yeah. Maybe accidentally put an extra zero in there!! No chance anywhere near that. | |
| Advise for new speakers for my basement exercise room How bought some ohms? Assuming your going to be moving all around the room. | |
| Focal 948 vs. Klipsch Cornwall recommendations? I have not heard that NAD but you may consider a tube preamp to pair with it like the Schiit Freya + although I haven’t heard it. I’ve found a tube pre does wonders for the dry mechanical sound of most affordable class D amps I’ve heard. I would t... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? I want to find a 452 or 462 for a deal! Not likely to find a deal on a Mac but I am keeping an eye out. Heard Big Mac Monoblocks on some Big Focal Utopias years ago. It was awesome! I believe those Monos were very pricey however. | |
| Owning the speakers you dreamed of 20 years ago Be careful Larry. You may make Chuck’s head explode! ;-). | |
| Owning the speakers you dreamed of 20 years ago I’ve read posts to where the Salon 2 sounds very close to the Salon 1. Even in some reviews. Wouldn’t know only heard the 2s. |
