Tekton Double Impacts

Btw, the Benchmark DAC2 HGC by itself was never dry, brittle, or overly detailed in my system running into my SET amp. Its was synergistic. 

Jcarcopo,
Certainly there’s the Spector of synergy to factor in. Benchmark DAC with your Diavolo is a good match. Perhaps an all Benchmark signal chain is a different story. Numerous variables and possibilities to contemplate as always with audio.

I wish I could send you my Coincident Statement Line Stage to try with the Diavolo. My suspicion is it’d be a very good match and send an excellent signal to your Encores. Exceptional resolution and transparency coupled with a beautiful organic presentation.

@charles1dad  i deleted that last post. It would appear I connected the right channel output to the HPA4 Mono output intended for subwoofer by mistake.  So I was getting cancelation that was causing the awful sound.

I will update with an accurate assessment after I lick my wounds for being a fool. 

Jcarcopo,
No problem, stuff happens.
No doubt that the sound quality improves.
I look forward to further listening impressions.

I would like to add to this thread eventhough it has passed its prime and will likely fall proverbially unheard.
It is true that these speakers(standard 4 ohm Tekton DI's with upgrade) will mate with many types of amps(see prior posts of SET and micrZOTL use)
I was particularly impressed with their sensitivity and the level of detail that I had not heard before so I began searching for a replacement amp to replace my B&K ex442 sonata, which still works well.
I home demo'd numerous amps: Carey, Vincent, Sophia, Pass Labs, Atmasphere, LTA, and Primaluna.Each of these had some positives and negatives that had to be weighed and many of them sounded very good at lower and equal price points,however one did not and was still $$$.
The Atsmasphere M60's stood out considerably, above all the other amps in SQ. They may not be for everybody as an OTL, especially for a set of 4 ohm speakers, but with my set up in a smallish room I have been extremely impressed with them and the AS/OTL topology. Without a doubt, they sounded the best. As a bonus, you get RK for CS :-)
