Tekton Double Impacts
1 watt does generate volume...but simple physics tells us it is impossible from 1 watt to reproduce music in the best possible way. It has no choice but to sound flat compared to more appropriate power levels for the speakers. This is especially t...

Just because 1 watts seems to work doesn't mean it is "best". I don't see how you can say that 51 watts is overkill. From a physics standpoint, this makes no sense.

What about dynamic range and headroom? I have always found low power setups, even great low power setups, to sound a little flat when driving large speakers...even very efficient large speakers. This has been especially true with some classical re...

@david_ten The best setup I found to feeding Yggy via USB was using a UpTone Audio ISO Regen/USPCB/LPS 1 combo going to the Singxer F-1 then to Yggy using a 1.5m coax OFC cable. That sounded fantastic.The LAN to AES solution should be announced in...

@david_ten I've had my Yggdrasil since late February and Freya since mid May. I have a real nice selection of 6SN7 tubes for Freya. The only new components will be the two Vidar amps. I use Pangea XLR interconnects to connect everything and Mogami...

@david_ten I had been out of high end audio for 30 years when I decided I wanted to get better sound out of my nearfield computer workstation setup. I enjoyed the setup so much that I knew it was time to setup a nice 2 channel setup in my little u...

@david_tenI will be using an Yggdrasil DAC, a Freya preamp, and Vidar amps to go along with DI speakers. If I am using two Vidar amps, I will be running balanced differential interconnects from DAC to amps.My speakers are suppose to ship at the en...

No!! Vidar is an amp only thank goodness!!!

@kdude66 : the Vidar amp is not released yet...probably early next week. The power specs were given out by the designer so I am confident they are accurate. The designer did say the amp is rated conservatively.@david_ten : I race an air-cooled 911...

First post here....I ordered a pair of the Double Impacts (4 Ω) last week. I went with the standard black soft gloss finish and the $300 internal upgrade.My plan is to drive them with either one Schiit Audio Vidar amp in stereo mode or two Vidar a...
