Tekton Double Impacts

Hello all, one of the long time lurkers, first time posters. I'd feel remiss if I didn't post and extend a huge Thank You! to this forum and the many posters. I guess I'm an audiophile novice. I have reached out for help to james_w514 and corelli who both were extremely friendly and helpful in providing knowledge. I was fortunate enough to live fairly close to Tekton and Eric was gracious in letting me visit and audition a couple of speakers (Electron and Ulfberht). Eric came across as very knowledgeable, passionate and had the ability to answer my questions and explain things in layman's terms. He was direct and confident. I had a wonderful experience that day and subsequently on phone conversations w/ both Eric and Karma. teajay's reviews didn't hurt either! I ended up w/ a pair of the SEs in black, high gloss. Could not be happier w/ them. grannyring's posts and info also helped in convincing me to give the Lyngdorf TDAI 2170 a go and it didn't disappoint in the slightest. Many other posters info has been invaluable to me, mac48025, charles1dad, kdude66, aniwolfe and many others that are slipping my mind. Anyway, just had to say thanx and express how much I have enjoyed and plan to continue to enjoy this thread!

P.S. I also found out about from this thread and had excellent experiences w/ audioarchon and rgrost (cables)

While I've been away from the site for a while it's great to see how civil, impartial and informative this thread has stayed. While I've been reveling in the sound my SE's with Aric Audio's Linestage and 300B amp is providing I enjoy reading others experiences with their equipment. 

I too am looking forward to hearing lancelocks impression with his SE's with the LTA UL amp. 

Congrats harv! You're in for a lot of happy listening as the SE's will only get better with time. 

mac, it's good to hear from you.  I was just yesterday wondering how you and your system are getting along.  Hoping your new Aric audio gear is all you were hoping for.  Had someone over today who requested an audition of my DI's.  I told him how you were instrumental in getting me on board with these great speakers.  He left, I believe, very favorably impressed with my modest system and room.

I, too, still enjoy reading  about all the amp combinations that The DI/SE's shine with.  It's fun to vicariously enjoy these experiences (and cheaper too!)

Did Charles ever get to hear your new gear?

harv, welcome aboard!  It's always a great feeling when you hear form someone who hopefully gained something from this thread.  Your jumping in with some great equipment that I's sure will provide you long term enjoyment.  I appreciate my DI's now more than ever.  Please keep us posted on your experience and how things come together.

Corelli, yes, the Aric gear is all I could have hoped for.....and more. 

Glad to hear I was helpful in you coming to your decision on the DI's. They really are amazing speakers.

I had a great time listening to some great music with Charles. He seemed to be very impressed with the sound.....but I don't want to put words into his mouth. He has a great ear and it's always good his assessment......and a good guy to boot.
