I guess I have to sell my Tekton Enzos

kalali,

You must remember he's the president and we are not.

I'm sorry I just couldn't resist that one.

I think your full of yourself,You make midfi speakers and act like youve just built the wall and had Mexico pay for it..yep yep

LOL!  Such disrespect for a legend (albeit in his own mind)  who obsoleted all other speakers! 

I appreciate candor and I see nothing wrong with how the manufacturer describes his own products. As long as it is truthful. The buzz on this site about the quality of sound coming from Tekton's lineup is impressive. It has me pondering a purchase and it is fun figuring which part of the lineup is most suited to my current set up and room.

Having been in this hobby for going of 40 years it is great to see where the industry is today. The bar has been moved upward. And it sounds as if Tekton has contributed to that movement and I am all for it. Especially with regard to value. I am done with the days of investing $$$$$ in audio when musical gems abound at reasonable prices. More power to the Tektons of the world. 

My 2 cents.

If you are familiar with panels then you will know the sound of comb filtering. If you use a flanger or reverb on a guitar you will be familiar with the effect too.

It is hard to describe but comb filtering makes the sound seem to come from a wall of sound rather than a defined point and of course this would only happen in the upper treble with the Teckton DI design. It gives a bigger Soundstage. Large ribbons do this too.

Here is a demo - notice how the sound shrinks as comb filtering is removed (microphones close) and how it feels expansive (microphones apart). These effects are on recordings already but a speaker that naturally does this will add a bit of this characteristic to all music played through them.

It is hard to judge but the distance of about 9 inches separation on the video is the sort of enhancement you might expect with the DI. It is a very pleasant enhancement and no surprises it is used a lot in music production!

Here is another example of how comb filtering effects drum sounds (in this case the sound is bouncing off the ceiling and combining with the direct sound to produce a comb filter) In fact any two devices recording the same sound or producing the same sound will produce these effects if they are physically separated a greater distance than the audio wavelengths concerned)

More examples of comb filtering - hopefully you now know what to listen for - it is certainly not always a bad sound - quite often it is desirable in pop/rock and electronic music. The faux stereo effect is perhaps the most impressive demo on the link below
