Tekton Double Impacts

Sorry, Audiogoners. Forgive a 77 year old fumblefingers.  BTW, I'd be interested in knowing if there are many other senior citizens on this mad chain?

Fred,

I've been in this hobby for about 35 yrs and I have mostly listened to analog and playing digital as a convenience since 1982 when digital first started but over the last 6yrs or so I've been more focused with digital playback.Since we all know that digital can be hit or miss in quality and some of your favorite music maybe some of the worst recordings,I've been focused on preamp and amp pairings that give me the sonic qualities I desire along with helping those bad recordings sound much better and then my best recordings also sound even better than I have ever heard them.

I really like the pairing of my MZ2 preamp with the Zotl40 or my Diy first watt Sit2,They both produce 40watts into 4 ohms,It's like having 2 different flavors.

I listen mainly to Acoustic and vocal jazz,classic rock,classical piano and the occasional symphony orchestra,mainly as a system test.

And Offcourse finding a dac that you like is going to help the overall sound as well.

I think I have found the "Holy Grail" in components for me that have great synergy and I will be happy with them for quite awhile.

Kenny.

Thanks, Kenny. 

Let's see how our budget works in the future and if Reno Hi-Fi will give a sufficient break on my F-3 to experiment.  Until then, I too am happy. I'm wondering where you live?

Well the key point is you know what you want. This is important as there are listeners who aren’t sure of what they ultimately want. Kenny I’d say that the chances of long term success and happiness with your current audio system are exceedingly high.

You trust your ears and this is a crucial point as this allows you to choose components and speakers based on the most important criteria, how do they sound reproducing music in my home? If you can genuinely say that this is the best I’ve achieved up to now then you’re in an  enviable position and that’s ideal.

There are a lot of very good choices of audio equipment available and we can’t own(or hear) them all. Once you’ve found that exceptional system synergy that yields what "you" determine is superb sound quality, stop right there and enjoy and appreciate what you have.

Hey guys. I know that I am really late posting here but I really wanted to say thanks. I had been looking at the Double Impacts for over a year and finally ordered them. I now have had them just over a month and have to say that they are amazing. I have only heard one set of speakers sound better but the whole setup cost 70,000. My chain was right now is a Denon usb 300 DAC, Shciit audio Magni uber pre, and Emotiva A-300. Im saving for the schiit audio Freya as my next pre. The sound that get out of these things is Huge. I dont know of any othe way to say it. I had Boston Acoustic VR 2 speakers for about 10 years before and have been shopping around for a long time for new ones. All I really knew was that I did not want a sub and I wanted to really jump up in performance. These fit the bill perfectly.
