Tekton tweeter design


Hi everyone,

I found a cool, fact filled thread with some smart DIY'ers over at the DIYAudio forum about how the Tekton tweeter arrays are wired and how they work.

Kind of interesting in how they were innovative in some ways, and in others did some questionable things. Reminds me of Infinity, who developed crazy crossovers in large part by ear, which we can now really improve upon. Still good sounding, but in hind sight we wonder about them.

Please, keep your flames over here on Audiogon. :)

jetter,

erik did a good job of explaining himself, but I'm sure he appreciates your leaping to his defense. I really have no issue with erik, I'm just tired of these random and all too frequent Tekton threads.
tonykay…..Erik is a nicer person than I am.

In my world its not ok to make-up insinuations about someone when you haven't bothered to invest the time to know their interests. That's whether or not you are tired of Tekton threads.
I cracks me up when someone has a problem with a Tekton post. I have the double Impacts and enjoy them with my Parasound equipment, I think they do a nice job of reproducing my Tidal selections. I watch these posts go from something informative to another Tekton bashing session and I wonder why you can’t just keep on reading and keep your opinions to yourself. I don’t comment on many things that I may not agree with because I’m sure you guys don’t give a crap about what I think and I’m good with that. There’s an old saying that if you don’t have something nice to say, keep your comments to yourself, why is that so hard?

I am not sure how you could possibly assume that a large number of tweeters is going to narrow the dispersion….I was watching a nice story about how they were able to photograph a black hole . With telescopes in Antartica, Chile and a number of other countries. They had to focus the incoming radiation….well they used extremely sophisticated devices to accomplish that feat. Not sure a bunch of tweeters is going to focus quite that well.

I do like the " box fee " sound of ESL's but to my ears the focus seems to move around. An analogy would be watching a 3D movie, a good 3D movie. Not quite real and a little shaky. The attraction for most is the unboxed sound and not the " pin point " imaging.

Not sure how you might conclude that the performance of each tweeter might "best" that of much more high end tweeters.
