Tekton Double Impacts
@milpai   I have been driving my DI's with a Marantz Reference Integrated and have been extremely pleased with the sound I'm hearing.  I will listen to large scale works and everything seems so well sorted out and  precise.  The bass is killer--so...

Sorry David. I see you meant 1000 posts for this thread!Pretty good run.

Thanks David. Actually just a meager 100+ posts now.Didn't think this thread would be going so strong after 3 months.  I've really enjoyed watching this thread meander in different directions as more people enjoy their DI's (and other Tekton speak...

bullitt,I must apologize.  Did not read your post carefully enough.  You clearly are looking for an amp, not an integrated.  I must agree in your case grannyring makes a nice suggestion.

bullitt,With  your given budget I would highly suggest you consider a marantz integrated which is what  I have been using to drive my DI's.  I do not find this integrated to be cold or clinical in the least.  Coupled with one of their SACD players...

@kdude66 Kenny, I was interested in the reworking of your DI's.  In particular how you changed your woofers from the alphas to the betas.  On paper these are two different drivers.  I could see how the betas with their larger magnets might offer s...

Yes, mofojo, Eric was quite open about the brand of caps and coils your $300 got you.  So not quite sure where audioman is getting the impression this is all guarded information.Teajay, I also noted my original review that the DI's do a very nice ...

vitopI suspect clarity can actually improve with a properly executed large tweeter array.  The end result of a large diameter tweeter  array is controlled dispersion which can increase direct sound and decrease reflected sound. Far less distortion...

Kenny,That is correct, it's a double CD  of the original broadway cast.  I remember when my wife used to love this genre and I was so slow on the uptake.  Shame on me. Of all the broadway CD's that I have this may be the best.  And that's saying a...

Gentleman,Appreciated all the thoughtful posts today.  Good food for thought.  I too listen primarily to Redbook and occasionally SACD.  I thankfully saved the LP's of my youth.  While I enjoy them on occasion, overall I find the sound of well eng...

Walter,Good to hear back on your experience with the DI's.  There are so many good choices out there these days.  A nice problem indeed.  I'm glad to hear you have enjoyed your DI's.  I love their abilities  in  creating  a holographic sound stage...
