Tekton Double Impacts

Yes, the "missing transmission line " effect. Good thing we had those socks! And crown moulding!

Kdude66, what was your fav SS amp of the bunch? I take it that preamp is your go-too preamp?

Fetguy,

Yes the MZ2s has bettered a modwright ls-100 and a valvet soul shine.I have never heard a pre as good and sometimes use it by itself with it's glorious 1watt output.

I like my sit and the F7 the best,I'm going to borrow back a Yamamoto A08s and give the 2watt 45 tube a try,I used to own both of the Yamamoto 45's.I still own the A09s Yamamoto but haven't tried it with the DI's.

I will eventually buy one of the LTA amps just haven't decided which one yet.

I kinda thought you were just yanking our chain.

Best,

Kenny.

It seems that fetguy is just stirring it up a bit to have some fun. I can tell though that those types of comments are what I encountered when I decided to venture into the world of SET amplification. Yep, we’ll meaning yet condescending in nature.

Of course the irony is that the SET provided the most open, transparent and nuanced sound I’d ever experienced up to that point. It was another real life illustration of how stereotypical warnings can be so utterly wrong. We live and we learn.

This thread has demostrated quite convincingly the Double Impacts are sucessful with SS or tubes, high and low power. Exceptional flexibility for all potential users.

When teajay (Terry) writes about the superb results he has heard using low powered SET amplifiers (knowing that he’s used the powerful Pass Labs amplifiers with these speakers) it is very compelling. He appears to be getting the best sound from his system he’s ever heard (if I’m reading him correctly) with the Triode Labs 2A3 SET.

Kenny,
I’m impressed with the various amplifiers you’ve heard with the Double Impacts. I suspect that your First Watt S.I.T. is quite a special SS amplifier either as stereo chassis or mono blocks (S.I.T.1). No doubt that you are having much fun 😊
