Tekton Double Impacts

Yes this is a wonderful thread and there have been many meaningful discussions concerning amplifiers with commentary from quite knowledgeable people. Disagreement and alternative perspectives are expected. It isn't possible for everyone to have the same taste and listening experiences. 

Teajay has heard numerous class D including the Lyngdorf and simply prefers a different sound presentation,  makes sense to me. I didn't infer that he wrote off "all" class D amplifiers,  just those he has personally beard. 

Bill and teajay are distinct individuals and thus that they may prefer different  audio components should not be surprising or unexpected. Subjectivity is alive and well.

I personally have not read any posts in regards to you trying the Lyngdorf or any D Class amp with the Double Impact speakers. Can you lead me to that post or page? I am just curious as I don't have the luxury of experiencing as many amps as you. Thanks

I find it quite encouraging that many differant amps are being enjoyed driving the DI's......and other speakers. Initially I favored high powered SS amps and have gravitated to small tube amps with my first SET amp arriving tomorrow. I still appreciate what my SS amps brought to the table but prefer what tubes offer. Not sure if I'll enjoy the Lyngdorf more than my beloved tubes but I look forward to giving it a try. No matter what amp I'm employing I enjoy reading what others are using and hope everyone continues to share their experiences. If not for such dialogue I doubt my system would sound nearly as good. 

On a side note. After spending the last four days in New Orleans my appreciation of live acoustical music is greater than ever. So much talent and wonderful performances everywhere you go here. Amazing! My goal with my system has been to recreate a live performance but after hearing so many great performances this weekend I just don't think I'll ever be able to recreate the lifelike dynamics and sounds I've experienced here.......but I'll still enjoy my music listening at home as much as ever. 

Hey aniwolfe,

In my role as a professional reviewer I have had in-house for review numerous D amplifiers, way before/after the DI's/Ulf's that I returned to the company because I would have written less then a positive review on their product.  It is my position that if my review is going to be negative that I inform the company and give them the choice to go forward or withdraw their product for review.  Yes, I have had reviews that are less then stellar regarding the performance of certain pieces of gear, but if I can't even give one star in the rating system, I think its unkind/damaging to the designer/builder not to have a chance to withdraw their product.

Almost all the D amplifiers that I have had in-house for review were not solicited by me to begin with, but I was asked by the company if I was interested in reviewing their piece. So, the only public statements that I have made about D amplifiers has been on this thread in general terms, not being highly critical of any specific brand or model.
