Tekton Double Impacts

@morg111    I have always felt that the DI's, to my ear, were fundamentally neutral.  You are right, this speaker is so capable in allowing you to hear what is ahead of it.  As noted above, I do not feel that it is an issue of tubes vs. solid state.  I have just the right blend of detail and a hint of warmth with my Marantz Ruby gear.  There is no right or wrong here.  Trust your ears.  The cool thing is you are afforded so many choices with this speaker.  Take your time--you will know when you have arrived at your destination.

Im really bored at the great positivity from those that own the brands they favor.   "mine's the best man"

There's some utility in that statement. I've found this phenomenon, even in the political.

If it makes you feel good or powerful, OR others made to seem weak, dangerous or pathetic, you will stick with it.
what if you determine it hurts others - the feel good for you is a feel bad for someone else. Do you ever try to determine this? Have far do you let that go? For some, this is a simple contest of ignorance.

Seriously - people focus on their limited sphere of success and pump it up like a 50-mile high bounce house while ignoring the people they crush or celebrating as if victorious over them.

I've listened to quite a number of speakers over the decades and I mostly choose entirely new products and product lines, brands, etc.

We are not trying to control each other's buying behavior.

I'm clearly now on Team Moab. Super percussive speaker, but not bloaty. Rarified midrange and layers.  

 Sometimes you get something that is truly breathtaking, and why not "give it away"?

@corelli, thank you for offering that info, glad to know all the earlier talk of tubes was just the direction of convo rather than necessary for some type of influence the speakers needed.
