Tekton Double Impacts

@james_w514  and @evolvist:

I'm also a Focal Utopia owner, though I've never driven them with a tubed system. At some point, I will pick up a tubed headphone amp for the Utopias. I'm driving them with a HeadAmp GS-X Mk2. Any recommendations?

Nick, I get what you are saying. The Focals gave me a benchmark for what a reference system could be and they've helped me better and more completely understand my sound preferences. They have been exceptionally educational for me.

Like the Double Impacts, the Utopias are very telling of what's ahead of them, AND, both the Double Impacts and Utopias are scaling champs.

James, that is QUITE A STATEMENT: "For the first time in this hobby I was left with the sense of fear that I would still listen to the Tekton’s over a much pricier speaker..."

Congratulations on going with the Ulf Minis. I'm sure many, including myself, look forward to your comparison of the Mini Ulfberths with the Double Impacts.

At this point, it looks like members who are moving forward with the Ulfs are mainly going with the Mini Ulf? Is that correct?  

Reasons / Rationale other than size and price, for doing so over the fuller sized Ulfs?

Thanks.

Dave for me it was both money and size. Since I am getting 12 speakers, the total price was high so I wanted to keep it down, but even more important, the full size Ulfs are just too big for my space. The height doesn't bother me as much as the width and the depth.

So does everyone on this forum own a $4000 headphone? :-)

Not me! Hell, I don't even own a $4000 amp... yet.
