Yeah, Govt Mule is a classic band founded by Warren Hanes and Allen Woody of the Allman Brothers. Lots of stories with this band.  Great musicians. (Tidal has them. Check out the Dose album!)

REVIEW – TEKTON DESIGN IMPACT MONITOR PRELIMINARIES I’ve been reading a lot about Tekton Design’s Double Impact speakers. When a professional reviewer, Terry London, chimed-in a few months ago with his super positive review I started paying even...

@schw06 - "really opened my eyes to just how much the room influences what’s coming from your speakers and expect that because of that room interaction, there will likely be great variation in what people prefer to feed the DI’s."That’s exactly ri...

I finally got the Impact Monitors broken-in, positioned and my sub dialed-in. This took much longer than I thought it would. Now for some serious listening. I'm sure everyone is waiting with bated-breath (ha,ha) but hopefully I'll get a review out...

Its a reflection of our society today. Complaining publicly at two weeks because you were told it would be a two week delivery. Refusing to even try to fix indented cones with a vacuum (I’ve used this trick - its easy) and insisting new cones be s...

@evolvist - "I mean, if I had been told one month, I wouldn’t have batted an eye. Since I had been offered up two weeks, well, guess what? I expect two weeks."It’s been two weeks. Did you cancel your order? If so, please let us know. (Not kidding).

If you are looking at the Electrons you may want to check out the Impact Monitors, especially if you already have a subwoofer to use them with. You would save about $1k in upgraded form. Just a suggestion. (I currently have a pair of Impact Monitors)

@david_ten - Thanks! The SR Tranquility Bases help with EMI/RF problems. Since they are active it's easy to hear the difference - simply unplug them and listen, then plug them back-in and listen. The biggest difference is under my music server - p...

@kdude66 (Kenny) - I spent way too much time last night messing with the height of that tweeter array. And, like you indicate, center tweeter at ear height sounds best. That's basically where I started at but, of course, I wanted to be sure. (Ha!)...

I've now received the Impact Monitors and have them breaking-in. I've spent considerable time getting them in position. Jury is still out on listening height and distance. I added a pic at the end of my system pictures if you want to see them.
