Tomic, it’s seems you have your opinion of the Tektons, that some of do not share. I don’t see or understand why anyone puts down products that they don’t care for themselves. I and many others seem to feel there’s a lot more to the Tektons than an excitable box of cheap drivers. If a box full of excitable cheap drivers just happens to sound better than a “properly” designed speaker with expensive drivers to my ears, so be it.
So many drivers.....better sound or just more sound?
I am sitting in Seattle cut off from my job by the virus: the world all around me is going nutsy....so naturally my mind drifted to the question....."why so many drivers in some speakers?" This has bugged me since i first heard the Pipedreams (twenty or so 4 inch drivers all the same in a row.... such a different design principle. I would think you would want the best driver you could afford for a given application....cover the frequency range as accurately as you can afford and then worry about volume level, air moved etc. For instance, i heard some McIntosh speakers at a friend's house a few months back. they had 12 mids and 4 high drivers if i remember. I guess maybe a bigger sound stage ? That wan't obvious to me in my listening to them. Am i missing something obvious? Legacy speakers use like 11 drivers in a set of speakers.....how can they do that? I would love to know the cost per driver of various speakers. Not a deep subject but, i am addled by rain, boredom and the fear that my 401 k is gone..........
Thanks
