Oh, I'm so eyeing a set of Double Impacts of my own. And they look great in that color. Gotta set up my room properly, first. Great start, but I can't wait to see your system more fleshed out.
Imswjm, congrats on building around the Tekton Double Impact! (I've used the IsoAcoustics in the past and think they are excellent) Keep us up-to-date!
Sources: Theta Data III, Yggdrasil, Modwright Sony CD player. Actually iPad streaming through an AirPort via Yggy is better than I would have thought. Convenience has its merits. I’ve also heard modifying a MHDT Pagoda yields great results.
Everything else is up for grabs. I’m getting very good sound (easily exceeding my expectations) temporarily using an Audio-GD Master 6 SS preamp and a simple pro audio 2 Ch Roland 150 watt power amp (which is only turned up to 9:00). Ultimately, I’ll be exploring tube based amplification options. The DI’s seem like a perfect option to build a system around. The DI SE and Ulfberht II’s have my attention as well.
Thanks kclone, those are IsoAcoustics ISO-L8R430 stands.
@lmswjm, Congratulation on the new loudspeakers! Room looks nice. When do you plan to get the amplification and sources? Or are you just happy looking at the speakers? :-) Would like to see your system updated and your experience on these speakers.
