    Forgot to post this but I had an "itch" for a different sound so I swapped out the LRSs for the LSi9s. Then I realized two things: 1, I had been jamming to the LRSs for two years before this "itch" came along so kudos the them! & 2, I almost forgot what it was like having a bunch more speaker cones moving air around the hifi was like! It's a more visceral experience for sure.

    Now I thinking the next upgrade this cold season is going to be BIGGER (cone driver) speakers. B)

    I probably can't afford that LOL. So I'll most likely start with something like the Tekton Double Impact. B)

    I've seen a few pop up near Atlanta but they are always sold in less than a day.

    Yeah Atlanta isn't far from me either, ~2 1/2hrs or so. They sell fast!

    I would research the brand in detail. Many report that mostly good reviews exist because the owner goes after reviewers with lawsuits if they make negative comments.
    2 Channel Rosso Fiorentino Volterra II, 2 REL T9x, Norma Revo IPA-140B, Norma Revo DAC-2, Lumin U2 Mini, VPI Prime w/SoundSmith Zephyr MIMC, ModWright PH-150, SonoruS ATR10, AudioQuest Niagara 7000 w/Dragon power cable, WAY power cables for all other sources, WAY Silver 3 Ana+ speaker cables, WAY interconnect cables

    That incident with Erin's Audio Corner removed Tekton from my shopping list forever. Too many other options.

    Interesting. I guess I hadn't read into Tekton deep enough. That certainly changes things.
