Jetter that’s what I need I to know regarding the crossover able to handle .Iam sure he will recommend some changes on the crossover if needed. He also wants me to listen to the impact monitors, I will compare them to his design speakers costing 5k. |
This morning while Iam listening to my Elac B6 Speakers, while the cd is playing I heard a familiar scratchy sound on the impact monitors, I raise the the volume and the scratchy sound went away, hours or a day later the voice coil fried.Iam thinking of bringing the amps for a check too. |
Jetter he will check the crossover also , so will see , let me have a correction here it’s not straight 10 on the volume. It’s good he will check .Van L Speakers (John my technician ) also partnered with Dan Modwright) on the audio shows using his own design speakers.So He knows a lot about Speakers.He has a new Speakers design that he wants me to listen, when I pick up my speakers. |
I doubt it’s preamp but I will check, could be tubes on my amps, I can hear the scratch noise on the right side only. |
Grant that’s swapping you recommended it make sense. |
Mission honestly the impact monitors gave me a lot of good listening moment, regardless of how they are design or not, It is still not a mistake of owning them, because I like the sound and looks too. Well to get a nice cabinet you have to pay more. I got you , Audiophile are still buying them , so it means they like them, they even wait for months. |
Danager I will try my other amps if the scratchy sound is not there , then it’s the amps. If it’s still there , maybe it’s the preamp. |
Tvad I speak three dialect English, our national language, and the place where I grew up, near Clark Air Base. |
Grant I have MAAS cleans all metals silver, stainless, you name it. |
Grant after following your recommendation? It’s the interconnect probably it’s loose . So now I can confidently hook my beloved Tekton ps 12. |
Do I care if they call me Audiophile or not? No , All I care is the music coming out of my systems.As long as I connect to the music that’s enough for me, good sounds is a bonus.All I care I love music, I don’t listen to what people say in terms of my identity on this hobby.I bought the Tektons because they have good reviews by Herb Reichert at stereophile, and Teajay I both trust their ears.Its not about the looks though I like their look.You see I own two the impact monitors and ps 12. |
My Audiophile friends never took me seriously as Audiophile because I only own kef 104 Speakers ,Harman Kardon gears, nakamichi tape deck, CD players nakamichi and monster cable oh they hate this wire.I love the sound of this combo though probably is not audiophile standard.Now that I have above standard gear, I understand what they meant.
|
It used to be the definition of Audiophile according to my Audiophile friends , as long as your system are not found at circuit city or Best Buy , you now own Krell, Mark Levinson, Audio research and branded expensive stuff.I bought stuff at Best Buy as well that time. |
Mission I never felt you are disrespectful at all, I shared my thoughts , and experience only, this forum is about that at times, Believe me I’ve been in this hobby for 30 yrs. every music lovers, they have their preferences on gears, speakers, cables, you name it.my Audiophile friend would advise me that it’s their direction not mine, I always say it’s only stereo. Why take it personal, just enjoy. |

New twist again why my impact monitors got fried, again the scratchy sound came back, I recorded the sound and send it to a friend. He told me the sound is more like A noisy plate resistors , maybe tubes he said unlikely?This is what I did, turn off all sources, only preamp Old preamp Krell on all the time.KHR3 model, and the amps tubes on , scratchy is present , I turn off the preamp scratchy gone, My take is more like the preamp doing the scratchy sound.He also told me that could be the cause of my tweeters got fried, and playing too loud. |
Grant I now direct my icon phono pre to amp so quiet now , no more scratchy sound or like bacon frying sound.Now the Krell need to be check, since it’s old maybe need to be refreshed.What do you think? Considering New Backert preamp or Primaluna new.Any recommendations? |
Grant my friend just bought PrimaLuna EVO 100 pre, he is very happy, Ozzy my Krell KHR3 sounds like tubes why I like it.I will let it fix for my fourth systems.
|
Update: My Tekton impact monitors are now fix by Van L Speakers who also design his own speakers , The problem I only blew the center tweeters on both speakers. He checked the whole crossover as well, He was very impress on the design of the speakers, he said they are also well engineered.He even asked the price. |
Yes , John Van L even did a bit to even make them sound better.He likes the Tekton impact.Thanks Grant. |
Dave it’s ok no problem, Iam glad you posted here. |
