Tekton Double Impacts

actually, your critique of granny’s review was slightly over the top. I know granny has no skin in the game and I have read many of his delightful and always polite posts. And he said the speakers were great, just not his cup of tea. The idea that a speaker with a number of tweeter sized drivers used for the midrange might have a "slight" forward tilt does not seem out of the range of possibility.

I agree -- I think I would really enjoy that aspect of the job too. Now I just need to find your counterpart for HT.

Problem is that I don'\t even know if "boutique" players exist for processors because of the complexity, various licensing for different multi-channel playback, etc. There may be some for multi channel amps but the processors are (IMO) a tough product for a one person setup to do the R&D on and stay current.

Oh come on now, nothing teajay stated was an affront to grannyring; and I consider grannyring a magnificent knowledgeable poster, among the absolute best on Audiogon. Plus, I have purchased several of grannyring's superb power cable builds. I also think that between grannyring, teajay, charles1dad, and dare I say myself, the way we hear and what we like in recorded music is closely aligned. The nitpicks that differentiate us is interesting and worthy of discussion. I personally applaud the gentlemanly banter and appreciate the knowledge gained from it. The conversation has been respectful beneficial to all reading this excellent thread. Best, mikirob

Hey jetter,

I'm always very mindful on my posts to be very respectful towards other GON members and never put things on a personal level.  I'm blunt and clearly give my opinion and at times disagree with some one's viewpoint, but do not attack the person.  So, were does your hyper-sensitivity  come from stating my response to granny's take on the DI's was, "slightly over the top"? What do you base this on?

Of course the bottom line is that everything in audio is based on personal taste to begin with, than you try to add on objectivity based on experience and comparing different gear to each other.  Here's a question for you?  Have you heard with your own ears both the DI's and the AZ speakers in order to make sense of what grannyring and I slightly disagree on? If so, please share what your take is on this matter.  I still think he's confusing utter transparency with a forward sound compared with his AZ's slightly warm/full presentation.    

Hey mikirob,

Thanks for your kind words and disagreeing with jetter's comment about my post.  The only reason I share and love to post here is that we all act like gentleman and have fun sharing and at times disagreeing with each other with no malice at all.
