| Tekton Double Impacts @aricaudio - After looking at the pictures and getting more info, I now understand more thoroughly how the Motherlode was designed and built. That is one hell of a preamp!! Congrats!! @laaudionut - I’m jealous! | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Aric - Cool! | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Aric - I owned a basic Dude preamp for a couple of years. It was very good. Paul would use his excellent design and build it to your price point. I never heard one with Duelunds but from what I've been told they were something special. Grannyring ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Whether USB is preferable for digital and whether a person should spend thousands on a USB cable are interesting topics but they are not the topic of this thread. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Dave - Excellent review! Very well written and clear. I already knew the Double Impacts (SE) are excellent so the message it conveyed most to me is how much the speakers can scale up and down based on the equipment they are used with. You inserted... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I agree with Terry, the Pass XA-25 is a very, very sweet amp. If I were looking for a new amp that would be on my short list. | |

| Tekton Double Impacts "Listeners hearing the same system and recordings in real time and having very contrasting impressions." That’s exactly right Charles. I chalk it up to people not hearing enough live music especially acoustic music. How can you know what something... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors @teajay - I agree the Impact Monitors are very good by themselves. I’m crossing my subs at 50hz which, as you indicate, seems fairly seamless. The subs just add a touch of “foundation” to the sound which you don’t really notice until you take the... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors Agreed. I wouldn’t want to mess with the array but who knows what Eric may come-up with in the future. | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors I haven’t thought about using a super tweeter with the Impact Monitors. I used a Raven R-1 with a pair of Tonian Labs speakers for a while but could never get it to blend right. The crossover probably needed to be redone. What were you thinking re... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors @david_ten - thanks for checking out my system. It’s the place I go to decompress. I went with the Impact Monitors after reading the various threads and reviews on the Double Impacts. There seemed to be universal praise of the tweeter array but so... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors These are some of the highest value speakers on the market today. Remarkable the music they convey. Kind of shocking. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi JT welcome aboard! You made made some great equipment choices. Congrats. If you want to come close to musical perfection may I suggest you hire some musicians from your local symphony or college music department and have them play for your next... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi all - Just a FYI that @grannyring (Bill) graciously agreed to upgrade the crossovers in my Impact Monitors. He did a fantastic job. I've made a few comments about it over on the Impact Monitor thread and Bill has already addressed a question. I... |
