Amplifier for Tekton speakers

Mikirob,

All-in-all I like the Cary V-12 with these speakers the most;

So, begs the question - why?

yet I like them all for different reasons.

Different reasons -- in that each is better suited for a particular kind of musical genre? Or mood?

WRT the Cary 300B, with the Tekton being a very dynamic speaker imparting a "live" presentation, does using the 300B detract too much from this kind of presentation, or does the 300B bring something more to the listening experience and is additive rather than subtractive?

Didn't Eric like the small Red Wine Audio battery amp?

We did not talk about Red Wine although I mentioned to him I preferred tubes.

You might be thinking of comments made by the Part-Time Audiophile in his reviews of both the Tekton Lore S and the Red Wine Audio Signature 15.

Interesting no one using SS amp yet. Anyone found a SS they prefer over valves with their Tekton's?

If you speak to Eric, you will find that he is partial to ss amps. I meant to ask him last time I spoke to him which solid state amps he preferred or what he uses.

Zmanastronomy,

That's too bad but, of course, it is just another example of how important the entire chain is, including the room. At the end of the day, what works for one might not work for another.

Is your system current? I should read back through the other threads; I thought you also owned some Tekton speakers. I would like to hear the Triangles sometime.

Nicodemix,

Not too many Heed owners around; glad you chimed in. I like the review that Johnny Darko did on them awhile back.

I also hope to hear from CJ SS and Pass Labs owners.

I spoke to Eric today, and dang if I forgot to ask him about SS amps. I got side-tracked on something he mentioned and didn't remember until coming back to this thread.
