Tekton Design Brilliance

I do not have first hand experience with the Brilliance  ( I have the Double Impacts )

Can you give a more detailed 'review' of them based on your room/system/ etc. Thanks.

I hope this will answer David's questions:

As in the reviews of the Double Impact, the finest feature of the Brilliance speaker system is utter clarity. Instruments and vocals are utterly natural. Detailing is amazing.  The Brilliance's  lighter weight allows a fine adjustment of speaker placement and toe in. I believe it's important NOT to aim the speakers directly at your listening point. The sweet spot is reached by aiming them slightly behind you.  This seems to open up the sound stage and avoid a certain shrillness. I'm about nine feet away from the speakers.

 I use mine with the First Watt J-3 amp and Guy Hammel's linestage buffer and passive volume control (Placette Audio).  My sources are an Oppo universal cd player and the VPI Classic turntable with the Soundsmith Voice and the M-3 phono stage

I wonder what improvement would be gained by an amp with more power.  At times I flirt with Pass's XA-25 or something similar. I would appreciate hearing from any other Brilliance users or investigators

Kenny has a lot of experience with Nelson's First Watt products.

I looked into going with an F6/7, J2 or a SIT-1/-2  ... but ultimately decided on the XA 30.8

First Watt is an excellent pairing with the DIs. Kenny is running them with his modified SIT2.
