Audiogon is becoming the hub for scammers.
As has been said before, it's up to the buyer to do the due diligence. The OP has been here since 2009, I would hope he's privy to the "ins and outs" of this game by now. It does appear that he is MIA from this thread though.

So the Loki could possibly solve the issue for my analog rig. First, you determine what the issue is. Then you determine how to fix it w/o using a band aid. This can be with room treatment, speaker placement, component upgrade, etc. Adding anot... 
Why People Like Tekton
How can Tekton have a patent on the Mid/tweeter array when McIntosh has been doing that for 20+ years? Because McIntosh uses the tweeters as tweeters, Tekton uses them as a mid driver. Completely different designs.

I have been interested in their amps for a while. Looking forward to your opinion.   Oz  
MHDT Orchid v Denafrips Pontus
