Tekton Double Impacts

fidobite:

I have a set of Apogee Stages that I am going to be selling because I am going down to just a HT system and removing the 2 channel setup. I have been really slow to sell the Stages since they have almost no use on them and I LOVE the openness. I know the Stages are different than the Duetta, but did you feel the Sigmas sounded better than the Apogees?

I spoke to Eric on the SIgmas because I wanted a pair at the price he is selling them at but since I am going to just HT did not have a place to put them. I got the Impression from Eric that the Sigma sound was different than the DI/Hulfberht sound.


If you move to the DI you'll have to let us know how different the sound really is. Eric characterized the Sigma to be a 2 channel class A type speaker. Not 100% sure what that meant, but I took it to mean less dynamic (movie soundtracks) and more musical, but much music also requires dynamic attacks, so really not sure what to make of the sound difference.

Craig,

Hopefully you had a Dachshound and not a Great Dane.

Teajay,

Thank's for that update on the MZ2S,I was wandering if au7 would be ok to use.I have much more of these in my collection than at's.

Lance,

What au7 tubes are you using with those vt99's.
I'm assuming the cover may not fit because of the tube height with adapters. 

How are your DI's doing for you,have you tried the Zotl40 with them.

Best,
Kenny.

@kdude66 - I have rolled in quite a few different tubes, right now I have NOS Amperex 12AT7's, I also like NOS Mullards. The VT99's have more gain in the Micro ZOTL. It's a very Tube friendly design when it comes to rolling.

I drilled holes in the Lexan top of the Micro ZOTL but Mark sells a pre drilled lid for $50.

i am still using the Micro ZOTL alone and wanted to get good break-in time on the DI's before making too many changes an once.
