Tekton Double Impacts

@kdude66 :  Kenny, I'm very curious about how First Watt would pair with the DIs. Specific thoughts?

@doctorsubie: 2 months on, and I do not have the grills I ordered.

Congratulations!!! Let us know more detailed impressions once you have had some time with your DIs.

Also, I'm curious about how the center works for you? I had originally planned on the DIs for HT paired with an OPPO 205 and possibly an Anthem AVM 60 and/or a Classe Sigma SSP MkII; and NAD M27. I've decided to focus on 2ch for now, given how amazing the DIs were in my system. Center channel is on hold until I have a better feel for Eric's new offerings.

@vitop: I’m surprised you are replacing your JL Audio subs. Will they be on hand when the new subs come in so you can get a feel for comparative impressions? I like the sound of "they Will Be my system" !!!

I’m planning on making the hike to Orem when I am in Colorado, which is likely in July or August.

@333jeffery: Thanks for the additional information on the BHK Signature Preamp. Sounds like a perfect match for your system. I’m auditioning the Pass XP-20 and it does pretty much what you and Mac have shared. Like I said, the BHK 250 was something I should have gone for. The reviews of it paired with the matching (and your) Preamp are all very, very positive.

@contuzzi: Why??? And pay the 100% markup. Just order them. Yes, there is a cost to re-ship if they don’t work for you, but in my opinion, the only way to get a feel for gear is to listen within your own system and 60 days is a good bit of listening. : )

Thanks to everyone who have replied to my humble post; I didn't start this thread, but my resurgence into my audiophile hobby led me to research the DIs, and so far so good...

I think my next move will be heavier duty room treatments, as my room is quite 'lively' with a lot of 'slap echoes'...

I can't give much of an opinion on the matching Tekton DI center channel--still haven't used it for movies yet; at least sonically, they match the mains, so we will see...

David:
Your system is going to be very close to mine. I have an AVM60 and will probably go with the NAD M27. I have the Oppo 203.


I agree -- I am going out on a limb with the JL Audio subs. They are really excellent. No complaints whatsoever. I think some of the best subs made. Eric told me his would be faster and better matched to the speakers. Yes, I will have both for a short while and I am definitely going to compare.
