I put them in the closet because this is a small room and I didn't want them to get in my way. Since their ports are on the front of the speakers, it doesn't hurt their sound to put them there.

Here are the Studio Monitors with the Pass Labs XA-25 powering them:

I think that I have found the perfect amp for Tekton speakers,the Pass Labs XA-25. I have been using one with the Studio Monitors for a while now, and it is simply amazing. As good as the Triode Labs 2a3 was, the XA-25 just beats it across the board. Explosive dynamics, wonderous speed and...

Another review of the Double Impacts:http://v2.stereotimes.com/post/tekton-designs-double-impact-loudspeakers/ I sold my DI's to a member of a local audiophile society just a few weeks ago. He got rid of his Klipsch speakers after listening to the DI's. Tekton seems to be gaining ground.

The tweeter domes got pushed-in when I lifted the speaker out of it's box, they are soft rubber and should pop back out. Hasn't effected the sound, though. I believe the drivers are higher grade than the Impact monitors, but I can't say for sure. The tweeters definitely are. The song is...

Here is some video of the Studio Monitors in action, plus the setup: Note: the sound is kinda loud. Enjoy!

Right now, they are on some generic Pangea stands that I got from Amazon. I will probably get some larger stands for them because they are so heavy and the speakers are quite wide. Don't want them to fall off. This setup is in a small bedroom, with the speakers located a few feet away from the...

These are great for nearfield use, but they are 45 pounds each. You would need a large desk. They sound real nice on just a couple watts output from the Triode Labs 2A3 amp that is powering them. These took about six weeks to build and ship. Tekton is slammed with orders right now. They have...

I got the PMD Studio Monitors today. They are interesting little speakers that I will have fun playing with over the next several weeks. I hooked them to some old Levinson and Triode Labs gear that I had on hand. Awesome midrange on them, and surprising bass response, so far. May post a video later.

Most Tekton speakers come with spikes, but you can use any threaded feet you want. Herbie's threaded Gliders are popular on them. The custom paint-jobs range from $500 to $1000 depending on if you want metallic automotive colors.

I placed an order for the PMD Studio monitors a week ago and am looking forward to trying them out. I wanted some small speakers for a bedroom setup and these fit the bill. If Eric ever releases the Mini-Ulfberhts, they will be the speakers to get for most set-ups.

Found out that the problem was not with the Focals as I had feared. It was a noisy tube in my Teton amp. Quite a relief as I had bought the Focals as an open-box deal off of Ebay. Saved a good bit of money, but no warranty. I have to say that the Teton pairs perfectly with these headphones, much...

The Double Impact SE's are getting a lot of praise on Audiogon. They are a good alternative to the Ulfberhts for folks that don't want to spend the extra money.

A question for Focal owners: was there a recall on the Utopias? I recently bought an open-box pair of Utopias and noticed RMA stickers on the box. Plus, the left channel has some intermittent static on it. Makes me nervous about their reliability.

Here is the Rockna Wavedream in action:

I've been comparing a Rockna Wavedream dac to an Yggdrasil and a Directstream dac for the last few weeks. Very impressive piece of equipment. It easily surpasses the Yggy and the Directstream. Super high resolution, yet not a trace of digital glare. Wonderful weight and presence to the...

Thanks for the info. My Amperex tubes look just like the ones you have posted. Come in the Amperex boxes, too, with Tektronix test stickers on them. So these were made by Svetlana?

I notice that some folks use the 6336 tube in place of the 6as7. Has anyone here tried this? I'm getting an Apex Teton soon and am curious about trying the 6336's in it. I have some Amperex 6as7's to try in it as well.

Do the Utopia's pair well with the Apex Teton amp? Any tube recommendations?

Here's a professional review of the Ulfberhts:https://hometheaterreview.com/tekton-design-ulfberht-floorstanding-speaker-reviewed/?page=2 Enjoy!

The DI's beat the Sonus Fabers and the Martin Logans. I can't comment on the Focals. The Double Impacts' sound depends on what components you hook them to. If you hook them to a small tube amp, you will get a sweet, emotional sound that is very pleasing for jazz and vocal recordings. If you hook...

Basically, the Double Impacts give you 70% of the sound that the Ulfberhts do. The Ulf's excel at bass and detail. They have the finest bass I've ever heard, not just more bass, but very refined and textured bass. They will go as low as your other components will allow. Tekton describes them as...

Some footage with the grills off: The Ulfberhts are Tekton's flagship speakers, I wouldn't put too much stock in those prices. The DI's and the Ulfberhts are much better sounding than the Pendragons, the tweeter arrays on them are the secret to their sound quality. If you want a more compact...

This video has some close-ups of the speakers: The Allnic preamp sounds awesome with the Ulfs.

I wonder if there is a way to reupload the video without the copyright police taking it down? It was barely up an hour.
