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.

I don’t mind the Tekton threads. Much better than the over the top PPT threads : $100 per ml magic goo, $600 magical little mats, and now $6000 !!! Mystery devices to wire into your breaker panel. The hyperbole is non stop and ridiculously repetitive. My post will soon be deleted because I dared to question the faith based tweaks

Erik.... whether someone is a tekton fan or not....many are curious as to what the array is and how it works....so thanks for the link. 


Maybe  your thread name should be “Tekton Tweeter Array Design and Workings”. 


Two things the diy thread doesn’t touch on.........( and might just be opinion anyway)


1.  Is the top end... the portion covered by the single tweeter only as good as the tweeter being used?..... and


2.  Is the midrange being covered by multiple tweeters arrayed together potentially better than a high single high quality midrange?


And finally... as pointed out in the diy thread... how does tekton sell the impact monitors for $2000 delivered when the drivers alone retail for more than $800. 


Again, thanks... fun and informative.
