Those that upgraded from Tekton
What did you move on to?
I think it’s time I move on from my DIs, I really like how they sound but they are just too big and opposing for my room. Would be interested in something front ported as I have a room that is wide but not deep (speakers are 8 ft away from listening position and only 1 ft from back wall).
Was thinking Cornwall IV maybe or something from Salk but those might not be an upgrade from the DI.
Up to $5k budget and prefer used. Powered by Line Magnetic LM805i
And please don’t come here just to talk crap about Tekton……….
Nice idea. I was researching used Stirlings earlier today. |
Good call @audioguy85 |
The Eatons will love that Line Magnetic! Running mine with only 30 watts Class A to good effect.

I demo'd a 35wpc Primaluna on my old Salk Songtowers. These have the same 88db efficiency as the Song 3 but at a tougher 6ohm impedance with a dip down to 3ohms. No problem...nice and loud...plenty of bass slam. And they sounded better on the 8ohm taps! The Song 3 BeAT are an easier 8ohm load. All Salk speakers are relatively easy to drive with most modest/high quality power amps. A good 30+w tube with a decent power supply will be fine. |
