All,
Just to clear the air:
The battery pains that raytheprinter mentions was in the past when we were using SLA battery technology. Since then (as of the Fall, 2010), we migrated to our own designed LiFePO4 battery packs that offer over 2000 charge cycles, and can also be ran and charged at the same time with no time limit (for non-critical listening).
Zmanastronomy is entitled to his opinion about the Signature 15, but if you view posts from many customers on our discussion forum on Audiocircle (as well as read the reviews published on the Signature 15), they offer a completely different response to Zmanastronomy's. Perhaps it was speaker mis-matching, or something else (tube that was not performing to spec) - but regardless, as Wilsynet points out, the Signature 15 is NOT Class T - it is Class A tube input followed by a Class AB MOSFET output stage and has excellent treble extension - with a high freq. response of the amp -3dB at 100kHz.
Eric Alexander of Tekton himself owns a Signature 15 - it is a fantastic match with the Lores and Lore S. This has been stated in many places online, such as our forum and in this review: http://parttimeaudiophile.com/2012/03/22/follow-up-red-wine-audio-signature-15/
I am also excited to mention that a new version of the Signature 15 (the Signature 16) is scheduled to be released early next year, and besides a new enclosure and updated tube stage that now accepts 12AX7s along with 6922s, it offers even better dynamics right off the bat! More details on this to follow, along with details of our new dacs that offer up to 24/192k Async, Integer-Mode USB inputs, and a new Isabella preamp design, and so much more!
That being said, very soon we will be announcing close-outs on our LFP-V Editions that we current sell - so contact us for pricing and availability of what we have left in stock.
As always, feel free to email or post any questions you have. I work tirelessly to provide the best possible customer support and responsiveness (even on weekends), and as many of you know, we offer a 30-day refund policy and 5-year warranty on our products. We only want happy customers and put this before anything else and always have!
Thank you,
Vinnie Rossi
