| 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... | |

| Tekton Double Impacts 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. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts 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... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @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... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @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... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @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... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @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... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts No!! Vidar is an amp only thank goodness!!! | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @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... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts 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... |
