Tekton Double Impacts

I have no doubt that the NAT Transmitter amplifier is a top tier product and I'm sure a superb match with the DI speakers.

Last night thought I would listen to a cut or two from Alan Parson's Eye in the Sky.  Yea right.  So the whole CD sounded great!  Then I played E.S.  POSTHUITIUS , UNEARTHED.  This CD is a kick.  It features the Seattle Choral Co. with orchestra melded  with electronica and a host of other unusual instruments.  The DI's produced the nice tight deep bass line on this CD impressively.  Even more awesome was how I was hearing a percussion/synthesized? instrument what would shoot 5 feet to the right of my right speaker. HUGE  sound stage.

This morning returned to Haydn Trio Eisenstadt.  They have an 8CD box set up Haydn's piano trios.  May  be the best box  set I have ever bought.  Great recording quality and performance. (buy it!)  The DI's perfectly place the three instruments in space.  The tonal quality is just superb!  You really feel transported into the recording venue.  The strings are rich, detailed, and I feel like their harmonics are all there in full measure.  I've said before that it is such a pleasure to listen to the piano on the DI's.  It just sounds so clear, full, detailed  and dynamic. You just better  experience the nuance of the musicians performance.

Hey corelli,

It's great that you having such pleasure listening to all kinds of music through your system and DI's!  I find them explosive/alive, yet so musical and natural sounding on all the types of music I have played through them.  

I just got in-house a CEC Tl-N3 transport, my usual transport is the big MBL reference, the DI's are so transparent that I heard the difference immediately between the two transports.  So, all the little micro-details are easy to hear, but not in an etchy/analytic way.   

Speaking of enjoying music through the DI's, thanks for mentioning Keith Jarrett teajay. I bought his " At Th Blue Note" box set, "The Cure" and "The Melody at Night, With You". Great stuff! 

teajay,

Knowing how you love the ZOTL 40 with the DI's, I have a question.  What if I ran my Marantz SA15s2 directly  into the ZOTL  40 without the benefit of their preamp.  Would I still get a big slice of ZOTL heaven?
