Tekton Double Impacts
When I said it could happen pretty easily I meant if the product was mishandled by the shipping company. The box is not designed to push in the dust caps. Sadly this happens all too often and I could provide a long list of manufacturers this has o... 
Tekton Double Impacts
@porscheracerThe dust caps were pushed in on a few of the Pendragon woofers when my DI’s came in. They popped back out no problem. It looks like this can occur pretty easily in the packaging during shipping.

"what about red?"She wanted me to get Double Impacts and the Mini Ulfs in red but I had concerns. They look great in red so she was right. It’s her birthday today, maybe I should order her Impact Monitors in red as a gift ;)

Looks good man! My wife was right about red. How do they sound with your Gear? 
Comparing Goldenear Aon 2 and Totem Rainmakers
I love the Rainmakers for what they are (warts and all) When I was running a Totem dealership they were very easy to sell and you get that Totem magic at a good price point. The Totem Sky is a no brainier if budget allows. As Misstl commented Rain...

The Mega’ s sound great!Speakers are a very personal choice so it won’t take long to have others share their negative experiences. I just hope it is after spending time and not just a demo. No complaints here if someone doesn't like them after a l...

Please share some pics when the Ferrari red DI’s arrive! I liked the Enzo’s I saw in red. My wife thinks I should have gotten Mini Ulfs in red but I went for Porcshe agate grey.

Someone that raves about Totem Rainmakers and is poo pooing on a speaker he has never heard before? that is just plain laughable. Why are the inexperienced so quick to make judgement?

The tweeters in the standard DI look like SB Acoustics but I could be wrong.Kenny the amp is a KWI 200 integrated. Hopefully the Pass Labs will be a step up. The XA 30.8 will be the next purchase if the X 250.5 works out. 
Tekton Double Impacts
I'm awaiting delivery on a Pass Labs X 250.5 for the Mini Ulfs (when they arrive) So far there has only been 1 tube amp used with DI's and it was disappointing compared to ModWright SS. If there is one amp I should have kept around for the Mini Ul...

@seanheis1 you mention the DI’s might not be ideal for midrange junkies and that they are for movies and music with slam.You feel that way after listening to DI’s? How long did you spend with a pair?I love the mid range they and they perform beaut...

Yesterday while evaluating DI’s my friend said "I can’t quantify it but they are the best speakers I have ever heard. They are musical instruments"To me this rings true. When I switch to one of my other speakers I am back to the DI’s in less than ... 
B&W D3 vs. Monitor Audio Platinum II
I'd go for the 805 D3 over PL100 II's from what I've heard. With that said the PL200 II's and up are very good speakers and I wouldn't even consider B&W D3 series over them.  
Wilson Audio Duette 2's vs Tekton Ulf's
@ mr_m With the long the list of gear I’ve had over the years it is clear to me I am not a fanboy of any company (maybe ATC a little) The Double Impact was such a stand out product for me I felt compelled to post to this site and share my thoughts... 
Tekton Double Impacts
The harshest gear critic I know came over today for a DI demo. I expected to have the DI’s taken down a notch by his scathing review. 2 hours later he was at my door putting on his shoes saying they are one of the best speakers he has ever heard, ...
