Tekton Double Impacts

Good see this thread rejuvenated.

Well stated corelli, Tektons sound great with a variety of amps from SET’s to large SS amps. Ones personal preferences will determine which will suit them best. 
Congrats on your new amp corelli, glad you’re enjoying it so much. The DI’s will definitely fully exhibit upstream changes. 
I think it’s about time I put my SE’s back into my system for a change of pace to my single driver Omega’s and for some nostalgia. No, the SE’s aren’t perfect but that are damn good.

I have my eye on a used Peachtree Nova, which is Class D. It would mainly be for a secondary system pushing KEF LS50s in a small room, but I can’t help but wonder how it would sound with my DIs. Anyone heard this combo?

The DI is stated to handle 400 watts - I assume, per channel. The DI SE, 500, and the Moabs 900. 

Is anyone running this kind of wattage?

The d-sonic amp runs roughly 750 wpm into 4 ohms, and even boasts 1200 into 2 ohms. Is anyone playing with this kind of power, or anything close?

I've got a passive pre, and I'm not particularly clear on the interaction between the pre and the amp, in terms of input/output voltages - perhaps this is a tech question that need to be answered here, as well...

Keeping in mind the DI's and Moabs are very efficient speakers, I can't imagine needing more wattage than what I have (around 150 wpc into 4 ohms).  Now I am sure someone out there may be using a high powered class D amp, but for the sake of your ears I urge caution.  The quality and voicing of the amp are going to be far more important than the wattage in almost every case.  So while they can handle that wattage they surely do not need that wattage.

Our friend almarg can answer any questions on amplifier gain.  There are a number of cool class D modules/kits out there that I have seen.  I just wonder if a passive pre might result in sound that is "too clean" or sterile.  Maybe a simple tubed pre.  So many options! 

213, I don’t believe anyone would have issue if less than positive was posted bout Tektons by someone who has actually spent time listening to them, and were not happy or found issue with what they heard. To speak negatively about them based on what others have said who also have never heard them, seems to be uninformed at best. The hugely vast majority of people who have heard them seem to believe they are some of the best speakers at a given price point. It’s hard for me to ignore that much positive feedback. I have yet to hear my uffers and will not be able to until after the current lockdown is over. I’m hoping to hear all the great things I read posted by real owners and listeners. If I don’t, then of course I will be disappointed, but would have no problems saying so, and saying what about them I am disappointed about. I would not agree with your assessment that if one of their speakers measures a certain way, that all likely would.
