My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
WCSS, You can also use a software based DSP program to contour the Neoliths to your liking and use any preamp/amp combo.

@minorl, WCSS buys from the used marketplace so sometimes there is no "dealer" to rely on for assistance.  The Block monos  he's getting to try on the neoliths are a loaner pair from a dealer friend. I'm interested in the Block/Neolith combo to se...

WCSS, Be sure to pick an amp that can drive 0.43 Ohm load as the Neoliths droop to that impedance @20KHz. I'd bet above 5 to 8KHz the impedance is close to 1 Ohm or below, very tough load for even a powerful amp, I'm thinking the Dag Int is up to ...

@dracule 1, I’m sorry but I think  you are wrong about the Alsyvox mid and tweeter, all their drivers are push-pull planar magnetic. They use the term "ribbon" too loosely to describe any planar driver, but a true ribbon does not operate in a push...

WCSS, We are all waiting for your reveal! What did Friday bring? 
Tekton Electron has been released
Thank you, David!  
Tekton Double Impacts
Agreed about the 7 tweeter array, I'll go further saying the 15 tweeter array in the Encore and Ulf is also worth going for! I heard the Encores at RMAF and the extra information gained by having tweeter domes producing midrange from 300 Hz up is ... 
Tekton Electron has been released
When I heard Cat Stevens in the Parasound room with the Electron SEs I enjoyed the best renditions of "Where do the children play" and "Hard headed woman" I got at the show. Exciting dynamics, drum kit impact, beautiful guitar, and his voice was j... 
A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio
tweak1, The AA line is discontinued as Elac purchased AA, now the AA line is in Elac full size chassis with some improvements on the sonic side.

viber6, Even the 5mm wide tweeter in the Alsyvox is a push-pull planar magnetic, unlike the true ribbon tweeters in the better Maggies and the GT Audio Works designs. The Botticelli Alsyvox at RMAF would sell for $87K if a distributor can be found...

viber 6 and kw6, thanks for mentioning the AlsyVox magnetic planars. viber6, please be careful with your use of the word "ribbon", the AlsyVox speakers do not use ribbon drivers, but utilize a planar-magnetic method like Magnepan except they are p...

viber6, I'm going to pull a quote from your post, " A nearly massless stat driver will have an inherent advantage over a more massive dynamic driver", please consider that the Tekton Encore and Ulfbert have an array of 15 tweeters that allow them ...

WCSS, Why not try a speaker you haven’t already owned, I say go for Focal Scala Evo or Wilso Alexias.

M3 was the number I was thinking also, good luck negotiating your way up the ladder WCSS! 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
mac48025, On Agon here, lancelock has tried many amps, LTA and SS, and has ended up with his final choice of the new LTA Preamp and LTA Ultralinear amp. Look him up and message him ( Lance).
