Tekton Double Impacts

@vitop  Good question! As for why the DI SE over the Ulfberth or Mini Ulf I don't have technical reasons. 

Other than @333jeffery 's feedback on his Ulfs and @teajay 's take on them there isn't much out there and nothing on the 'Minis' or the SEs.

The Ulfs would work in my current room, but would also overwhelm the aesthetics. As long as I listened at lower and moderate volumes they would be great, but I wouldn't be able to let them truly loose in this room. I didn't discuss the Ulf's with my wife because I just don't want to do that to the room for her sake. If we were ever to bring 2Ch into our formal family room then the Ulfs would be a perfect fit there.

As for why the SEs over the 'Minis', it came down to a known quantity with performance I'm already very satisfied with. Upgraded parts for speakers have generally correlated strongly with higher performance. The SEs also save me some cash and since I'm going to add a tubed amp into the mix, every bit of savings helps. 

@mac48025   Thanks for your favorites "BMW Phoenix Green, a bright metallic M3 color. Not for the faint of heart! The gloss Porsche Gray is very classy looking.....or the BMW Mineral Gray."

@vitop  Thanks for your suggestion on " Ferrari color for me, there is a gloss griggio (grey) color that I saw that I really liked"

@treebeard1  Thanks for you suggestion and the link to the photo  "There is a post on the Tekton FB page of a DI in a color called spanish tile.  The nicest I have seen yet."

@evolvist  Thanks for the versatile White and Lighting scheme suggestion! : )  I know my wife will be thrilled with a white/off white color scheme.

I'll be making a trip to see paint samples tomorrow and I will check out all of your recommendations.

Other paint color suggestions? ...Thanks.

imswjm,

Since you are asking about Audio Archon's green cord,I can tell you I bought a 2m one and replaced a much more expensive Triode labs cord.This was the only change to my system that day and within 15 secs of listening I could hear the difference in lwr noise and more music without a doubt and easily 1/3 of the cost.The 2 m green cord was $360.00 including shipping.I have a shorter blue cord going to my preamp's pwr supply and it was the same story,lwr noise equals more music.

I consider Mike's pwr cords to be very well made and a extremely good value.

Does anybody want to buy a slightly used one owner triode labs pwr cord.😃

Kenny.

lol lmswjm
I consider any time I spend $250 on a power cord to be disruptive! :-)

Thanks David. There is no right or wrong. Just interest in what the criteria was that won the day for the SEs
