Question for corelli or anyone else with Tekton DI experience...
Looking at both the Magnepan 1.7i with JL Audio f113 sub and the Tekton DI, maybe SE to upgrade my audio system. When I contacted Tekton directly they told me the DI SE would match well with my system. They did not elaborate on questions about the BE tweeter or upgraded drivers on the SE.
Also, surprisingly, when I asked if I did not like them could I return them to an authorized dealer in Chicago, Audio Archon to avoid expensive shipping and hand deliver them to dealer.... the option was not offered. I have to ship them back to Teckton???
I thought Audio Archon was an authorized dealer? Anyone know about this? What kind of experience has anyone had with the DI or DI SE?
A little information from me. My room is approximately 18.8 feet by 15.5 feet. Ceiling is 9.5 feet high and two walls have windows and blinds, with one wall that is all cork board. It is all shag carpeted. Without treatments the room sounds good, and can be lively.
I have two audio systems that I would like to try the speakers with. One is a Parasound original A21 with Parasound preamp. The other system is a SET tube integrated amp, the Line Magnetic 216ia (about 28-32 watts a side). I currently use the SET amp with Vandersteen 2CE Sig II speakers and the Parasound amp runs Magnepan MMGs. I listen to jazz, blues and acoustical music. Often listen to female vocalists....
I have auditioned the Magenpan 1.7i with a JL Audio f113 subwoofer and although I like the planar sound with the sub, I would prefer not to match a sub to stereo speakers. My main objective is two channel audio listening and enjoyment.
