My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
Senor Diablo loves it hellfire hot (I’m not referring to the amp). : ) 
Getting into Tube Equipment
Ralph, these are qualifications to the original general 'phrasing.' My issue is and was with the generality vis a vis Tekton 4 Ohm speakers, in that phrasing.I restate that many (not all) low powered amps will work with the 4 Ohm Tektons I own(ed)... 
Tekton Double Impacts

T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components

Tekton Double Impacts
@almarg   Thank you! 
Tekton Double Impacts
@audiosens I (believe) you are asking whether the ’Tekton Impact’ speakers image and soundstage and layer/separate musical information? If so, YES.I doubt there would be a Tekton DI thread if they did not do this across different systems. I will n...
