TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS

You Gonners are once again being duped by this Jacko who is truly have his way with you all. I enjoy reading these occasional con jobs. This one is pretty creative.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

No body is being deceived, or duped or anything else.  The owner of Tekton has his own way of building speakers, plane and simple. It is not conventional, that's for sure, but WHO said any speaker has to be built a certain way, another speaker manufacture?

Good lord look at Ohm Walsh (A,F ?), or RTA Polk who would have thought they would sound good, they had their day. There were tons of different speaker designs.

Guess what AND a lot more to come..

 A "I fix other people's speaker guy", ANYONE can change something and say it's better. It always amazes me 10,000 pairs were sold before this great discovery to correct it all, but there never was a complaint of any problems to begin with.. LOL Lets measure and see if something is wrong.. I don't think so..

It's one thing to hear an anomaly, or an actual problem, it's something else to actively, measure and say something is wrong.. WHO measured what WHERE? and how was it measured.. In the ol shop.. LOL, the worst place to measure..

I'm no Gonner and Jacko died..

No I do not own or do I want to own Tekton, BUT there are 20 pairs of speakers here at any given time.. 1/2 are DIY. If I had the room I might..

You should direct your inquiry to the moderators. My observation is that they don’t like to "babysit" a thread. When one becomes problematic, they’ll often delete or close it.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

Hooey, the OPs delete 99% of the threads.. You guys got the moderators ALL wrong..

People delete their own post and cry the victim all the time.

People hit the report button and (Software) deletes the post. I’m not sure if active scanning is done by the software but the auto deletion looks and sees certain things, AND BAMB it gone, the sender get a notice and UNLESS you protest to a live human (Tammy) you won’t get it reinstated.

Whole Threads are removed by moderators because of revenue loss to the person or company being talked about.. I’d delete the CRAP too.

State your case don’t tell people NOT to buy something, I’d band people in a heart beat for that kind of product bashing I’ve seen HERE..

Name calling, calling OTHER people shills, and frauds. One warning is all they would get and By By..

The saviors of the world. Even when they don’t want to be saved (Master M)

He was asked by me and others several times about their testing and said owner avoided responding but continue to try to throw his weight around..

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I've seen a few speakers tested, HOW would you test them?

I can't see a way, at least with conventional methods. 

To measure the tweeter you would have to disconnect  the mid drivers and test on and off axis.

Then unhook the drivers for the tweeters and test mids on and off axis.

THERE is the stinker!! Where is the 15, 30, 45, & 60 degrees off axis microphone suppose to be placed, with that mid driver arrangement?

If we were to measure a Moab design, Bass on top, bass on bottom, that far apart, it would be a first without a concave (top to bottom) baffle design, to not be able to hear that, two separate drivers, They are WAY to far apart.

To achieve multi driver cohesion in the bass range, the drivers can only be so far apart.. A mid bass driver at the top and a bass driver at the bottom is even pushing the issue

The problem is, it will sound like TWO drivers vs one seamless combination, it will measure that way too.. 

So the question posed: is it a point source, a line source, MTM, BMTMB BMBMTMMBB (Ulfberht) or someone's dream?

I can say pretty confidently that conventional measuring techniques don't apply..

To put a finer point on it. Seated in the listening position is the only way to do any type of mic test.

I would venture to say it should sound fine.. And measure fine, just NOT with a conventional testing procedure.

Who made the rules to begin with?

I don't really care about the measurement as long as I (ME) can get the speaker to sound like ONE, sound producing unit, NOT a conglomeration of confusion. 

There are way to many sold for there to be a SQ issue. 

Being a non conventional design shouldn't rule out HIGH quality sound, how to measure it with typical tools and typical methods is the only issue I see.

I remember playing them 6 hrs straight that day, volume on the 10.

LOL, that will do it. Serious mushrooms, buddy.. 6 hours at 10

Thorazine drip maybe?

Alice in Wonderland for sure.... :-)

I disagree, true audiophiles are not buying them or what I think of when someone says audiophile. We have a different meaning of the word "audiophile" I guess.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So what we buy, own, make, have, or want, makes us an audiophiler?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

An audiophile is a person who is enthusiastic about high-fidelity sound reproduction.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The definition goes on to give examples.

NOT one example requires a person to buy, own, make, have, or want
anything..

Your definition is based on the premise, ownership is the qualifier to be an audiophiler.

NOTHING could be more incorrect..

Basic audiophile 101. Grade = failure. Recommendation, TWO ears TWO eyes, ONE mouth.

Shut the mouth
Read the definition
Listen to others

You have to know what something is, before you make an assumption what it is NOT.

I own a Victrola, it is as much a part of MY audiophile journey as reading these forums.

My personal thought, jealousy always seeks unkind words.
