“Invest” in Tekton?
la10,I think you are on track. You really ought to carefully read the other DI thread.  To those who feel it's nuts to order a $3000 dollar speaker without hearing them, I could not disagree more.  Can you really judge a speaker in a noisy, rushed...

The magic is the tweeter array.  So I would disregard comments about models that do not incorporate this feature.  After all, the OP was curious about the DI's, not lesser models

A left field comment prompted by the above comments.  Was going to use fed ex but for various reasons went with the standard carrier....and my boxes were almost pristine.  Maybe not be worth the extra $ for fed ex.

A lot of DI owners are just smiling right now.  Just finished listening to a Schumann Carnaval recording/Naxos/Giltburg.This is THE BEST piano reproduction I have ever heard in my home.  The clarity, air, weight, and coherence are just fantastic.K...

I knew the tweeter array crossed over low, but 400hz?  I think the resonant frequency of that driver is 580hz so not sure how Eric pulled that off.  So mac, did you put your order in for the MZ2-S yet?

As I said earlier, while I loved my Magnepan 1.7's,  I would not go back to them after owning the DI's.  The DI's just have too many strengths, too much balance.  I feel that I actually lost detail (perhaps from rear wave interference) with the 1....

P.S.  Thanks for the thoughts on the Line Magnetic gear guys.

Funny you mention the Spatial Audio Speakers david_ten.  Considered those also.  Glad I went with the DI's instead.  I become more and more convinced of that over time!

Charles,Funny you mention Line Magnetics.  This was another amp I was reading about--the 518 integrated to be specific.  Thought it might be a good match for the DI's.  Plus in the winter it could function as a space heater (:Have you ever listene...

Sounds good.  I've got the Meijer Garden covered with my annual membership.

david_tenIf you use the studded glider directly to the speaker, agree with mac at 1.5".  If you use the outriggers, the steel is 1/4" and you would need another 1/4" for a brass acorn nut/washer on the top of the outrigger and then another 1/4" to...

mac,  live in grand rapids so a road trip is possible.  Then again, if you pull the trigger first maybe you can tell me what I'm missing!

david_tenYou  can purchase the outriggers alone for a mere $20 each. They have a 1/4-20 thread as I recall so you can custom attach many options.  I remember 35 or so years ago attaching casters to my early edition Magneplaners.  Worked great!!  U...

teajay, you keep danglin' that Micro-ZOTL  bait in front of me.  What an affordable way to experience LTA for so much of the music I enjoy.  Then I can leave the more bombastic moments to my Marantz amp.  After all, no amp can do it all, and isn't...
