Meanwhile back here on planet earth...
We now have Michael Wright at Stereo Times pulling the Wilson Sasha's out of his rig for the Double Impacts because they perform to a higher level. The fact is... I've had multiple people to call me and email me to inform me of the fact the DI's sound superior to the Wilson Sasha's.
Here's a quote from the REAL Double Impact Audiogon thread from a few days back:
"Just to be clear on the statements I made about the DI's and my Sasha's a couple of months ago; the DI's, overall, did outperform my Sasha's. From the mid-bass up through their hi frequency performance, they were more enjoyable and more musically engaging than the Sasha's. The level of performance and achievement, especially in the all important lower mid-range to upper bass region of the DI's, is exemplary. Eric Alexander and his team should be lauded for what they have accomplished. To gain this level of performance is commendable for a speaker at any cost, but at $3,000??? It should have been interesting, sitting around the Tekton board-room table and hearing Eric discussing the lofty design goals he had for the DI's, then share with his confidantes that he could do it all for around $3,000 retail. I'm sure somebody snickered and said "Yeah right". All I can say is interested parties should get their speakers soon before Tekton figures out what they have on their hands and puts their speakers thru a well deserved pricing restructure." - Michael Wright
I also received a note from a client on Monday informing me of the fact the Impact Monitor outperformed the B&W D3's. A month ago a client called me to inform me the Impact Monitors has bested the Vanderseetn 7's.
We're doing something really special here and this is audio news. There's literally thousands of loudspeakers to choose from these days and the lowest common denominator is this: do you want to hear every subtle nuance and detail contained within your source material (music) or simply most of it..?!
