Thx, intetesting, no doubt worth a listen.

Those speakers are incredible.    Does anyone have experience with Hegel amps? Listened to an interview yesterday with their reps and came away with the impression that they come with a lot of bang for the buck. 

The live Pepper from '59 is really intriguing. Are there any other live shows from him available from this time? He's playing well on these despite the rhythm section. 

I visited a friend-of-a-friend's house over the weekend. I have visited him before. He's always buying the latest & greatest audio gear. This time, he had Tekton Ulfberht speakers. Holy cow, are these things huge! Using a tweeter array to cover the midrange frequencies results in a much bigger speaker than most. These were probably a foot taller than me. My wife would kill me if I tried bringing these home. BTW - he claimed that these speakers had an insane 97 dB sensitivity. I don't believe that for one second as I've never seen a non-horn speaker have numbers much higher than 92 dB. Apparently, some independent labs have measured much lower sensitivity (less than 90 dB0 and the founder/owner of Tekton is supposedly threatening to sue them over it.
