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 have described in your session sounds nothing like the sound I hear with the Double Impacts in my system. Now I have heard them ONLY with my Line Magnetic 508ia, which is a powerhouse and produces the best bass I have had in my room, so I cannot speak with any authority about how they might sound with lower-powered amps. Of course, there are many comments on the Double Impact thread that are enthusiastic about the way these speakers sound with a variety of different amps, including very low-powered amps, so who knows?

As james_w514 says, the only way to know is to try them for yourself. You and your audio buddies had an experience with them, while many of us have had quite a stunningly different experience that has nothing to do with Kool Aid or pom poms. We tried the speakers, loved them, bought them, and continue to enjoy the spectacular sound they are bringing to our systems. That's it.

Tried to PM but can't find a way on here...Really curious about your LM-508ia and what else you've had prior. I've got a XA30.5 pass labs amp and primaluna dialogue premium preamp.

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, certainly one of the best solid state amps I've ever heard. No experience with the Primaluna amps, but I've read a lot of positive comments from owners.

I would really love to hear the XA30.5 on the Double Impacts. I bet it would be a sensational match! Then again, the 508ia is incredible as well.

I have a pair of DI's. Your characterization of them doesn't sound at all correct. Funny about that. I am wondering what the system components were that you were listening to? Mine have great bass, very detailed, everything controlled. Bass has been measured at 21.53 hz  so it is all there! Mids are wonderful and airy and the vocals are simply amazing.
Go figure!
