| Tekton Electon/DI compares to what? @msommers I'll send you a PM. I've had quite a few amps through the years, some solid state, some Class D, and some tubes. I've heard the big brother to your Pass Labs amps, but not on the Double Impacts. I was very impressed with that amp, certai... | |
| Tekton Electon/DI compares to what? Thanks for sharing your experience, cap. My own experience obviously aligns more closely with that of james_w514. There are a number of people on this site who have also tried and loved the speakers. Again, audio is highly subjective.What you hav... | |
| Tekton Electon/DI compares to what? @cap Not sure if your post is directed at me, but if it was, my post was not directed at you. With your total of thirteen posts on this site, you do not post often enough to qualify as one of the Tekton Trolls, even with your enthusiastic use of a... | |
| Tekton Electon/DI compares to what? @msommers My Double Impacts are driven by a Line Magnetic 508ia integrated amp, a beautiful match in my opinion. I have a Lampizator Atlantic DAC, an Allnic H1201 phono stage, a Well Tempered Amadeus turntable with an Audio Technica ART-9 cartridg... | |
| Tekton Electon/DI compares to what? @msommers The Double Impacts replaced the wonderful Daedalus Ulysses in my system. Both are great speakers, but I felt that the DI had a superior soundstage (the Ulysses sounded slightly "boxy" by comparison) and were much more convincing with r... | |
| Tekton Electon/DI compares to what? Look, I understand the skepticism toward Tekton speakers and even, to a degree, some of the backlash over their "sudden" popularity. For sure, a healthy skepticism is a highly desirable quality in the world of high end audio. I was skeptical mysel... | |
| Tekton Electon/DI compares to what? Missoncoonery, some wouldn't know the truth if it stung them in the hindquarters. I continue to be impressed how much time people will spend and how many posts some members will make on speakers they have never heard. Some kind of pathology, I rec... | |
| Tekton Electon/DI compares to what? I see the Tekton Trolls are out in force today. What's the matter boys? Slow day at the office? | |
| Tekton Speakers,Who owns them and what did you replace and why. Kenny,Yes, that is a pretty fair summary of what I am trying to say. When I try new things in my system--whether it is a DAC, a pair of interconnects, an amp, speakers, or anything else--it all comes down to how engaged I am in listening to the mu... | |
| Tekton Speakers,Who owns them and what did you replace and why. I replaced a pair of Daedalus Ulysses speakers with the Double Impacts. I spent three weeks pulling what's left of my hair out trying to choose between them, as I thought each had very particular strengths. If I had been forced to choose in two we... | |
| Current speaker threads are boring Yes, a separate thread where Tekton detractors can gather and kvetch about speakers they've never heard sounds perfect to me. And much easier to ignore than the persistent trolling in the existing Tekton threads. Have at it, boys! | |
| Current speaker threads are boring "Cost enough." I see. Or rather, I don't, but it is good to see that the Tekton police have made an appearance to keep out the riff raff. | |
| Current speaker threads are boring Just so we understand the parameters of high end and "midlevel stuff," can you define the levels for us? How much do I need to spend on speakers before they are "really high end"? How about amps? Sources?I am not sold on a direct correlation betwe... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Years ago, I ordered a Supratek preamp and waited nearly nine months to get it. There were quite a few others who waited nearly as long or longer, as the designer lives in Australia and is (or was) a one-man show. It was a long wait, but worth it ... | |
| Wilson Audio Duette 2's vs Tekton Ulf's Mr_m,Until today, I don't think I've made a single post that anyone could construe as "defensive" of Tekton. I was intrigued by what I read about them, made a relatively minor investment in shipping charges to audition them, and reported on what I... |
