Tekton Double Impacts

porscheracer, Call Mark at LTA and see if anything balanced is in the pipeline?

@porscheracer , @klh007 , Marks new ZOTL intergrated 10 watt amp has true balanced inputs and not transformer balanced. A David Berning designed balanced tube circuit. I'm not sure if it's in production yet but if not, should be soon.

@waltersalas My listening session with Matt at Pitch Perfect went well. His room acoustics The LM 508ia and Devore O/96 speakers left me impressed. Piano was reproduced with realism in tone so that I could hear the ivories. Stand up bass and sax timbres were accurate and well controlled.The few tracks of the hardest rock/thrash did lack ultimate punch, but I am coming from high powered ss Gallo Ref 3.1's which are incredible for that. 

One thing for sure, this LM508ia is an excellent all around SET amp that doesn't break a sweat with hard rock, 80's, pop or funk/R&B.

I'm excited to hear some Legacy speakers with Raven Audio gear. Dave Thomson has been really helpful and seems to know what I'm after. A touch of sweetness in the mids and highs without too much sacrifice in bass speed and precision. To my ears, ribbon/cone speakers have always sounded great across a wide range of music. 

Maybe a pass labs xa-30.8 deserves a try before pulling the trigger. I don't have the time or energy to over shop this, but 2 or 3 demos should suffice. Kind of hard separating the amp from the speaker when listening to a combined sound. Speakers will either be the DI's, Salk HT3 or something Legacy. 

His room acoustics ...  provided a good soundstage and imaging. Several GIK panels were used. Something I will need to work on at home.

Kenny, 
The LTA M2Z-S  is such an obvious choice I didn't bother to mentioned it in my posts earlier.  I just assumed awareness of it given the multiple times its been discussed in this very active thread. So I thought I would offer a few alternatives.
