Any insight on Tekton Double impact BE, Focus Se, Salk SS 8, or Golden Ear TRef?
I have only had 2 of your choices, The Tekton DI’s and the Legacy Focus SE’s. I currently own the Legacy’s. I have had quite a few brands through my 63 years and I think I finally found the ones I’m going to keep. You mentioned their a little brig... 
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
waltersalaYou should try Audio Adviser. They pay shipping both ways on everything. I have tried CD players, Pre -Amps, and returned both on their dime. Never have purchased speakers, but I’m assuming its the same deal 
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
I'm not a hater, but I most certainly DID try out a set of DI's with upgrades and promptly sent them back. 300 bucks...ouch. They were alright, but that tweeter array wasn't nearly as clean and detailed as the Ascend Acoustics Towers I was trying ...

What area or country do you live in ?
tomic601I spent lots of evenings in my youth at that Agora in Columbus Ohio. Local bands the Muff Brothers and Godz were regulars that packed the place back in the 70’s. Now it’s called Newport Music Hall and the last time I was there was to watch... 
What area or country do you live in ?
Hey guys, lets not ruin this thread or they will take it down. I think it's cool hearing from all these places around the word. Let's keep it about top line audio, not political agendas and opinions. I was wondering why there were 10 times as many... 
What amps/preamps/integrateds to use with a particular speaker?
DiofanAudio Troy is a dealer and can point you in a variety of choices and has the knowledge. I recently stepped up to a set of Legacy Speakers ( Focus SE’s ) and could not be happier. I truly believe this will be the last set of speakers I ever p... 
Favorite band or artist of all time?
mcslipp…I don’t know where your located, but there is a Led Zeppelin cover band called Get The Led Out . We happen to have tickets to see them here in a month (in an old small theater, Midland Theater Newark Ohio) I was skeptical and was just bein... 
Speaker suggestions
I have owned both the Tekton DI's and Ascend Towers w/Raal. I would recommend the Ascends.. I loved them. The mid range and top end is killer. They do need a sub. In fact, I had 2 of them as I had a 16x24 room and wanted solid thumping bass.  The ... 
Have you had enough of Classic Rock?
I like "Deep Tracks " on Sirius. Classic but with a twist. If you were an album listener back in the day , and not a top 40 listener, this is your station .  
If you could only keep 5 record albums, what would they be?
Audioman I forgot all about Crime of the Century. That would defiantly be one of mine.

Greatest debut album
Surprised no one mentioned Bad Company's first self titled with Paul Rodgers on  vocals. Everybody I knew had that one.
