| BOOKSHELF SPEAKER RECOMMENDATION I'd 2nd the rec. for the Legacy Calibre monitor; the best speaker I've ever owned. The AMT tweeter goes out to 30k, very sweet & airy, with a dedicated 8" bass driver firing up. A very dynamic, almost full range monitor- pawsman | |

| Tekton Double Impacts See the new August Stereophile for a very positive review of the Tekton Impact Monitors by Herb Reichert. I’m very happy with my pair, the 2nd pair ever made (serial# 0003 &0004). Herb says: "Few speakers can play every musical genre with the ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Speaking of tubes, just got in the new TAS (#276). Harley did a review of the Berning 211/845 monobloc amplifier (a cool $75,000/pair). Called it the "finest amplifier I’ve ever heard". No mushy rolled off classic tube sound here with "superb bass... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I'll echo Waltersalas and say please chill everyone. Custom speakers ordered from other ID companies (i.e. Salk & Ascend ) can take many months to build and deliver, especially with a custom finish. A lot of the Tekton designs are brand new... | |

| Tekton Impact Monitors danoroo,I use 24" Sanus stands with the IM, but the top plate was too small, soI cut a 9" x 12" piece of 3/4" white pine, painted it gloss black and screwed it to the top plate. It works fine, the middle tweeter is right at ear level-pawsman |
