| The Steep Canyon Rangers @bdp24 Yes, you are spot on. If you ever get a chance to go to Merlefest--Steep Canyon plays it about every year--you will see a bunch of kids who are already unbelievable musicians because they had guitars, banjos, or fiddles put in their hands a... | |
| The Steep Canyon Rangers See them if you can. They are lots of fun live. Sometimes, Steve Martin (yeah, THAT Steve Martin) plays with them. We were at Merlefest this past weekend, and they closed down the festival. | |
| Anyone in the Mid-South have Tektons (Double Impact, Electron or Double Impact Monitors)? I live in western North Carolina, about an hour and a half from Knoxville, TN.Like david_ten, I have the SEs. They are still breaking in, but sound great. Let me know if that's within driving distance for you. | |
| Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts? @david_ten Thanks so much. I am really excited to try them after all the glowing reports, and after spending nine months enjoying the Double Impacts. It's hard to imagine the SEs could be much better, but I've been encouraged by the reports I've r... | |
| Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts? I don't know either, olesno, though I suspect it may be a combination of factors. There are quite a few detractors who have never heard them, but miss no opportunity to dump on them in the threads. There may be some expectation bias working in rev... | |
| Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts? Thanks for sharing that, olesno. That's my story as well. I just bought some SEs and look forward to having them in my room in the next couple of weeks. I liked the Double Impacts so much that I couldn't resist trying the SE version, so some lucky... | |
| Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts? @stereo5 Few speakers will match the gorgeous Daedalus speakers in terms of aesthetics, but that is not as much a priority for me as it is for some. The Double Impacts may not be "eye candy," but I think they look fine and the sound is excellent.@... | |
| Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts? And I sold Daedalus Ulysses, which also fall short of the $30,000, but which many people (including me) feel are excellent speakers. | |
| Line magnetic 508 with Tekton Double Impacts. Match Up Greetings, all.I have indeed had some nice preamps in the past, several of which I would dearly love to have now to try with my LM 508. Alas, they are long gone. I have been running my 508 strictly as an integrated since I bought it and have been ... | |
| Just received the Double Impacts (upgraded version) Congrats, wadec76. I have the same speakers and had a similar response when hearing them for the first time. The really good news is that your Double Impacts are going to get better still after you get a couple hundred hours on them, maybe even a ... | |
| Looking for speaker suggestions Before you drop 10K on a pair of speakers, see if you can find someone within driving distance who has a pair of Tekton Double Impacts, especially if they are well broken in. Not only are they fantastic speakers, but you can also use your choice o... | |
| If your system were a car! @roxy54 Actually, raymonda got it right the first time. He is using the subjunctive case to construct a hypothetical, in which case the correct verb choice is "were" and not "was."I'd recommend exercising some caution in correcting other members' ... | |
| Racks made of wood Ah, those were the days! I built my rack back in the day according to these specifications and it is still as good as new. Highly recommended. | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 +1 on the Lampizator AtlanticI've had mine for about a year and agree with Shedder's description. A wonderful, very musical DAC. | |
| Best tidings to Gonners old and new. Welcome back, 4yanx! Glad to see your moniker on here again, and happier still to hear that you are doing well. Congratulations on your engagement! |
