Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to?
@213runnin As a former Double Impact owner, I’ve been following all the Tekton threads for quite some time and have noticed a few common themes in your posts. I’ve seen it on both Audiogon and Canuck Audio Mart.You have done nothing but speculate ... 
Pass Labs XA30.5 -> Line Magnetic 508ia?
I’m in the same boat as @waltersalas Had nothing but a great experience purchasing and owning my LM 508. LM continuously gets much praise for it’s build quality and sound. But there can be a lemon anywhere. The 508 is a dynamics beast and is never...

Always great to hear of customer service like that!  And kudos to you for posting as well.Haven't heard the Vivids but they are sweet looking speakers.  Congrats.That's the first thing I do every morning I'm home, the amps go on first, then the co...

@ozzy Best of luck moving forward on your audio journey. I tried the DI's and they weren't my cup of tea but I occasionally pop into this thread to stay in the loop. I just can't comprehend how many people are sticking up for his terrible customer...

This has got to be one of the most polite and gentlemanly forums around. Good stuff.  
DIY acoustic panels?
@bobk3 That's exactly what I did for my dedicated HT room. I built 14 4x2 Ft panels using Roxul 80. Worked very well. I used an acoustically transparent black grill cloth from Fabricland. Check your local fabric shop, the may have something similar.

@james_w514 That probably about sums it up for me. I know you've had a lot of experience with panels. And also with the DI's with lots of quality upstream gear auditions. To each their own. I'm sure I could've gone the solid state route and been s...

And if it helps my last few amp/speaker set ups have been Naim Nait 5si (much enjoyed), Primaluna Prologue One with KT 120's (loved this amp), Spatial Audio M3 TS and Totem Element Embers. Just a bit of background info.

@porscheracer @charles1dad Trust me. I know how out of touch this must sound. Even my wife who has helped me A/B speakers, music streams and DACS much preferred the ML’s. The ML’s are just so musical on the 508 and warm up crappy recordings and gi...

And also wanted to say, this is a hell of a site.  Tons of excellent advice and mostly informative posts!

I've put my DI's up for sale.  As amazing of a speaker the DI is, I just can't ignore the synergy of my lowly ML Electromotion ESL's and Line Mag 508.  I believe I will be searching for some Ethos next.  All in the name of good fun.My speakers are...
