An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers
You guys caught me!!!   I have never owned any Tekton speakers and I came on here to make up this elaborate story because I was so bored... damn! Oh, almost forgot... had the Enzo XL also.   
Actual Lead Time on Tekton Speakers
Not buying the story?  WTFF?  I placed the order, waited a long time, decided to just cancel it... called him and he acted like a TOTAL AND COMPLETE A-HOLE and did not want to refund me.  BTW... there was a cancellation fee that I had to eat for d...

WOW... sounds like a similar story of mine.   I have personally owned 5 pairs of Tekton speakers... (in order): - Pendragon - Lore Impulse (no longer sold) - M Lore - Double Impact - Impact Monitor   All decent sounding speakers, nothing...

PD-Creative
I have a Node 2i being used as both streamer + DAC with the much nicer external PS unit from PD Creative (240V converted to 120V)... wow, what a difference! Wish I could find another one here in the US. On this system I have the Node 2i w/ best P... 
This is good Schiit...
I think that's a bit of a stretch... But if you think spending that much more money gets you that much better sound, that's great. I have other things in my life I need to worry about as well. I think there are a lot of people out there that Thin...

I am going to try the Yggy DAC and see what happens... the good news is the resale value... compare that to these high-end DACs that people are buying for $8k-15k and then trying to unload for half that (or less)... no thanks.  
This is good Schiit...
I feel that the BS Node 2i (especially that version - not the newer one) sounds very good already as a streamer+DAC.  Sure, you can definitely get better sound... but for how much?  Maybe $2k AT LEAST in my opinion to get a worthwhile upgrade.  Th...

So interesting turn of events... I thought for sure that I was going to keep the Tyr amps and sell may pair of Aegir amps.  They definitely had more power output (of course), but there seemed to be something missing.  The Aegir have a "sweetness"...

So I was leaning towards the cheapest one (is that the R2R), "warmest top end version?  Wish I could find a used one in black for a decent price.  I might as well just get the thing and try it.

The 15-day return thing with Schiit... I do not feel that is nearly enough time to properly break-in and demo anything really.  But, like you said... even if it sucked (doubt that), I could sell and only lose a bit of coin.

I ordered the best unit that PD Creative had... only a few hundred cost w/ the best external PS.  I will give that a try.  Only thing is that the installation instructions on the website are in Polish. Rather than spend over $2k on on outboard DA... 
Tekton 4-10 Subwoofer
OP here....Ended up selling that entire setup... both 4-10 sub towers, pair of HSU VTF-15H, Tekton Double Impact towers, etc.  Now going to setup a Belles Aria integrated, pair of newly acquired Tekton Impact monitors (upgraded version) with some ... 
Tekton 4-10 Subwoofer
Having owned these now for a few months and several serious listening sessions, I can say that the 300-watts must be "plenty" to drive the 4 10" woofers.  Honestly, I think I have the gain set to maybe 2.  The driver efficiency along with how the ... 
Tubes and Tekton's
Recently sold my Enzo XLs and switched to the upgraded DIs and also added a pair of stereo Tekton 4-10 subs on the side of each DI tower - photos in my virtual system.  Changed x-over point on the HSU subs to really low, like 30hz, let the Tekton ...
