Tekton Double Impacts
You're going the opposite route that I am, Jeffrey. I'm driving my DI's with the one watt LTA MZ2 and I'm still amazed by the sound I'm getting. The BK's with the Ulfberhts could bring the house down! No wonder the drum shots startled you out of y...

Sounds like you've got a real winner on your hands Jeffrey. With time the soundstage might open up and become more recessed. Not that it needs to as from your descriptions they must sound amazing, but I know both my Tektons seemed to open up more ...

I'm quite sure your mini Ulfberhts will be using the PMD components vitop. It's going to be a great sounding speaker I'm sure. Can't wait to hear your impressions of it. It reminds me of when I ordered my DI's, I had a vague idea of what they were...

That makes sense vitop. The Brilliance use Seas drivers I believe instead of the Emminence drivers on the DI's. Might that lead to more clarity? I don't imagine the Brilliance are a lot more clear than the DI's as I find the DI's to be exceedingly...

Thanks for nothing jeffrey, now I'm going to have to start saving up for the Ulfberhts! I had a feeling they were going to be really special. If they provide an additional 20% more than the DI's that's saying A LOT! Please keep us updated as they ...

Looks like the Brilliance is another great sounding Tekton speaker. Congrats Jeffrey. I'm so envious of you. Can't wait to hear more of your impressions of the Ulfberhts. If I recall correctly you have the DI's also? I'm VERY interested in hearing...

Congrats Kenny,I found the stock NOS tubes with the MZ didn't come close to matching the 40's RCA's, TungSol round plates or 40's Sylvania's I rolled in. The MZ responds well to tube rolling and you're in for an even greater treat when you do so. ...

Crazy.......I just realized I had Eva’s Songbird and put it in. What an incredible voice! How this cd missed my attention is beyond me but better late than never. Ordered 4 more of her CD’s.If you like sultry voices with a rock/blues/jazz vibe you...

Thanks gents, I just ordered Eva by Heart, Live at Blues Alley, Simply Eva and Nightbird. Here's a couple of great female musicians I stumbled across. Imelda May: Life, Love, Flesh and BloodIntroducing Hope Waits

My DI's mostly play acoustical jazz, female vocals ( jazz, contemporary, blues/folk/rock blend) and live recordings of genres from Sinatra to Holly Cole to Cowboy Junkies to Sarah Jarouz to The Chieftains to The Wailin' Jenny's to.....you get the ...

mazikrav,you had me at disputadem.......my Latin is much less than rusty, it's nearly nonexistent!when ordering my DI's Eric mentioned that Brilliance was amazing but knowing my preference for dynamics thought the DI's would be better for me. Eric...

David, I too am exclusively listening to Redbook CD and am very happy with it.

Chris,i concur with Charles, "breath of life" is the best description of that emotionally involving sound as I've ever heard. I'm getting very close to that sound but don't think I'm quite there yet. Thanks again for sharing your results with us i...

Thanks for such a thorough and enlightening review Walter. Like you I find something magical about the DI's that keeps drawing me in. My comparison with the Legacy Focus SE was easy for me as dynamics play an important part in my listening enjoyme...

Kenny,the little MZ2 is going to shock you. Every time I look at that tiny black box hooked up to the Goliath DI's I shake my head in disbelief......how can something so small drive something so large so well?
