Tekton Double Impacts

audionoobie,
someone in NJ has a brand new pair of DI’s FS on the Emotiva Forum-

" How much toe-in are you guys using?"-porscheracer

I talked to Eric about toe-in yesterday; he says toe them in

so the Speaker axis crosses 2-4 feet behind the listeners head (so there is an illusion that the inside front and back edges of the speaker appear to be about 1" wide, if you can picture that). At a listening position 8 ft. in front of the speakers, the axis should meet 10-12 ft. from the speakers.

In my room I found virtually no toe in to sound best. I only have my DI's 6' o.c. so that might lead to them not needing to be toe'd in. My listening position is 7.5' from the speakers and the speakers are about 5' out from the back wall and 4' in from the side walls. The DI's don't seem especially sensitive to room placement but fine tuning them and your listening position will pay definite dividends. In smaller rooms like mine room treatment played a bigger role in sound improvement than speaker position.....but both lead to better sound and we're all after that!

Well after realizing that I have not bought a pair of speakers since 1990, I bought Tekton yesterday. I went against this current and chose the Electrons, because of size and weight even with some assurances that the D.I.'s would work in my 11X15X8 dedicated. 

And now some breaking news!  Eric told me when ordering that the Electrons now come with 8" bass drivers, no longer the 6.5". O.K. not earth shaking but it is fairly new information.

I went into this purchase with the understanding that I wanted to match an amp purchase with the Tektons too, and with opinions of people on this forum who I respect with way, way more knowledge than myself had helped me to decide on a 2A3 SET amp. The general consensus of this type of amps presentation coincided with my musical taste extremely well.

So now I should live happily ever after (at least in my audio world) right?
Wrong, now I have a problem that I learned today (isn't it the way things so often seem to go?) that my line stage which I am completely satisfied with which is a Truth with no gain at all will-might compromise the performance of this set up. 

Thoughts and possible directions from this group will be greatly appreciated.

@lpretiring,
Have you listened to the Electrons in your system? Tektons are highly sensitive loudspeakers (at least from the specs on the site). You should have no problem driving these with your Truth. What is your "source"? I say this because even I have a passive and can easily drive my average sensitivity loudspeakers with the preamp.
What is your rest of the system?

Called Tekton today. Eric was tied-up painting, but Karma tells me it looks good for my DI SE units to be built next week. That's the good news. The bad news is, the non-SE DIs I have now are broken-in and are really sounding great. I almost hate to send them back! But I'm sure the SEs will be worth the temporary step backward.
