As the starter of this thread, it is interesting to read all of your diverse thoughts. I have made a decision and I am going to list my Wilson's for sale on Thursday. I truly love them and they are in perfect condition but my room is massive and I need a full size speaker. A friend of mine is going to lend me his Legacy Aeris system for a week with my Raven Amp. If I like them I may go that route. If not, I will also consider the Mini Ulf's or look for a good pair of used Magico's, or something else. I would fly to Utah to hear the Ulf's before committing to Tekton. It is to early for used Paradigm Persona 9H's to be available. I am not a fan of B&W, mid price range Sonus Fabers, and my spouse would not accept the look of KEF. The Aeris just might work because the speakers must be placed within 6 inches of the rear wall and with the Wavelet correction system it should help. $20k is my top end. I have been told the Aeris will blow away my Wilson's so it will be fun to compare the two.
Wilson Audio Duette 2's vs Tekton Ulf's
Help...I am going crazy reading the Tekton DI forum. And now there are comments regarding the Ulf. I have a pair of Wilson Audio Duette 2's. I have two Triad Silver in wall Subwoofers to complement the bass from the Duette 2's. My integrated tube amp is Raven Audio Reflection MK2 with 58wpc. That combination has been absolutely awesome for me in a room that is 30'wide x 40' long. Yes, I know not the perfect listening room but the music that comes out of my system sounds like a concert hall. In addition, I have a Lumin A-1 DAC / Music Streamer and a Synology hard drive for music storage. I love my system. This is strictly 2- channel as I have a separate dedicated theater room also.
Originally, for fun I was going to buy the Tekton DI and just compare them to the Duette 2's. I figured I would compare the two speakers and sell the ones that I did not like as much. Yes, they are two totally different speakers. Then, the Ulf's came out and Eric said they blow the doors off of the DI's. Naturally, I am interested in the Ulf's. However, in this situation, I would need to sell my Duette 2's before ordering the Ulf's. Am I crazy? I am comparing the Duette's that cost $23k vs a Tekton Mini or Ulf at $7.5k to 12k.
I live in the Phoenix area. If there are any audiophiles out here that would not mind listening to my current system and telling me what you think I would love to hear your comments. It is very hard for me to give an objective opinion on my system. Like I said I love it....but like all of us, if there is a way to improve it we do it. I just don't know if the Tekton Ulf's are an upgrade over my Wilson's.
