Tekton Double Impacts

I find it quite encouraging that many differant amps are being enjoyed driving the DI's......and other speakers. Initially I favored high powered SS amps and have gravitated to small tube amps with my first SET amp arriving tomorrow. I still appreciate what my SS amps brought to the table but prefer what tubes offer. Not sure if I'll enjoy the Lyngdorf more than my beloved tubes but I look forward to giving it a try. No matter what amp I'm employing I enjoy reading what others are using and hope everyone continues to share their experiences. If not for such dialogue I doubt my system would sound nearly as good. 

On a side note. After spending the last four days in New Orleans my appreciation of live acoustical music is greater than ever. So much talent and wonderful performances everywhere you go here. Amazing! My goal with my system has been to recreate a live performance but after hearing so many great performances this weekend I just don't think I'll ever be able to recreate the lifelike dynamics and sounds I've experienced here.......but I'll still enjoy my music listening at home as much as ever. 

Hey aniwolfe,

In my role as a professional reviewer I have had in-house for review numerous D amplifiers, way before/after the DI's/Ulf's that I returned to the company because I would have written less then a positive review on their product.  It is my position that if my review is going to be negative that I inform the company and give them the choice to go forward or withdraw their product for review.  Yes, I have had reviews that are less then stellar regarding the performance of certain pieces of gear, but if I can't even give one star in the rating system, I think its unkind/damaging to the designer/builder not to have a chance to withdraw their product.

Almost all the D amplifiers that I have had in-house for review were not solicited by me to begin with, but I was asked by the company if I was interested in reviewing their piece. So, the only public statements that I have made about D amplifiers has been on this thread in general terms, not being highly critical of any specific brand or model. 

To me, push-pull amps suck in general, Class D are less sucky than most push-pull, and certain SET amps are better than everything. It’s really quite simple too me based on my own bias and what I want to hear.

I’m not afraid to admit that I’m very curious about the Lyngdorf as I like to employ room/speaker correction in the form of various DAW software and vst plugins currently. Does anyone else here like ambiophonics or have messed with it? I’ve been using Electrovoice’s Ambiophonics vst plug-in through Reaper DAW software, along with several other vst plugins to digitally eq the sound, and having a load of fun listening to my recordings without stereo crosstalk. It brings so much more enjoyment listening to my recordings now and it’s more of an upgrade than anything else I could have  wasted $10k on.

Just like the Double Impacts the Lyngdorf is not going to appeal to everyone. Heck I bought mine used from a Reviewer that used it with the Pendragons. He sold it because he thought it sounded harsh at high volumes. I am glad he did :)
