Tekton Double Impacts

@david_ten 

I just read up on your new integrated amplifier. That is a fantastic looking build and design. Serious power supply and build construction is just the start with this piece. Congrats on your purchase. I bet your system sounds amazing! 

@grannyring  Bill, Thank you! I'd love your thoughts on it, given your extensive background and experience. I'll PM you so we can stay on topic with the Tekton speakers here.

I just pulled the SEs out of rotation for the first time in months! Have the gorgeous Italian Chario Academy Sonnet Monitor speakers (with bespoke/dedicated stands) fired up for the first time in over a year. Bi-wiring with two different brands/types of speaker cables, one of which needs run in time. I'll post summary findings vs the full range SEs, should anything stand out.

Hello gentlemen,

My review on the Impact Monitor speakers just went up on hometheaterreview.com.  I nick named them the "baby DI's" because Eric was able to take the performance of the larger sibling down to a stand mount for smaller acoustic spaces.  It's a terrific speaker and its my new reference in my smaller system.  Hope you enjoy the review.

@teajay  Congratulations on the trifecta!

Any word on The Ulf expecting? : )

Thanks for bringing Marilyn Moore to my attention. Playing her via Tidal/Roon as I type. BTW, I love Sketches of Spain.

I own a pair of Tekton Lores i paid extra for the upgraded caps and wiring and beefed up speaker lugs, i dont have what you have for electronics so at best this is apples to oranges. I have a scout 2 (VPI ) T.T. a Audio Technica  ART 9 mc cart,  Morrow solid core ph-1 interconnects feeding a Rouge Audio Perseus Magnum preamp, rolled to 1950's Holland Amperex BugelBoys 12au7's ,it came with jj's fine sound but bland compared to B B's .More Morrow ma-1 solid core interconnects feeding into a Rogue Audio STEREO-100 amp, rolled the 2 12au7 wich were also jj's to  Tesla nos 12au7's,  and believe it or not the amp is feeding the Tektons via .17 cent a foot solid core 24 ga. furnace stiff wires! by the way i have expensive stranded terminated spkr wires but these hard stiff penny per foot solid core wires put them to shame. Digital duties are a Playstation 1 w/ the rca output jacks on rear, again it puts my 500.00 marantz cd6005 to shame for musicality. in a room approximately sloped ceiling 15 ft center sloping to  12 ft at ends meeting the walls, by 22 ft wide by 40 ft long, hardwood floors  with a large rectangular rug on the floor. I like the sound!
