Tekton Double Impacts

It would be helpful also if people would better describe the comparisons, instead of "destroys" or "miles better" than said product. That doesn’t do anything for me. Hopefully we can get more info?

+1 @aniwolfe   Agreed. Hopefully @evolvist will.

Hi David,
Not quite sure of your "the comparative doesn’t apply"
Evolvist just mentioned his personal comparison of the two products. You can compare "any" products if you have them available (as he apparently did). Yes, his is only "1" opinion but I find it interesting and worth a discussion.

You say they don’t play on the same field? By who’s or what standard is this determined? Price? This thread has demonstrated that price isn’t an always effective determinant. The Double Impacts have been preferred over considerably more expensive speakers by many posters on this thread.

Any audio products can be compared and judged by listening to them. Sound quality and music reproduction are what matters.

Gentleman,

I will be doing some serious bench measurements on proper calibrated test equipment that belongs to a local friend of mine and also doing a listening test on some vintage modded Klipsch Cornwalls in a small 12x16x9 ft room feeding a digital coax signal to the Lyngdorf 2170 from a vintage Marantz CD player.

I always judge any component by the sound but It’s sometimes very interesting to me to back up what I hear with some factual measurements of my own.

I did buy the 2170 and sent payment to the dealer on Monday and I’m still scratching my head with the highly pleasing sonics that I hear.

I will write a full review on this completely different technology in time.

Kenny.

Well Kenny, don't feel alone, I find myself scratching my head all the time when it comes to audio 🔉🤔 All too often products come along that simply defy logic. How can the DI's sound so good at their price? How can the little MZ2 do what it does? Sounds like the Lyngdorf raises similar questions. I'm very interested in hearing your appraisal of it. Seems like a slick and simple way to go.....a one box, no fuss system that sounds great. It sounds too good to be true! I'm scratching my head again 🤔

For now I'll be happy with my more traditional set up of the PS Audio transport, Concert Fidelity DAC,MZ2, Aric Audio Transcend SET KT 120 and DI's. My amp ships today! Should have my MZ back from LTA next week too....having the remote volume added and changing faceplate to silver. I have some new cables from Sablon and Silnote coming next week. I also have lots of great tubes on hand to roll. I'm locking myself in the listening room all next weekend!

Charles, once I get everything settled in here I'd love for you to come have another listen. I should be a lot closer to your wonderful sounding system.
