| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering Tektons are like a box of chocolates.. until you try them you never know what ure gonna get. Exactly, and that is the main problem with Tekton speakers. Forget about the plain cabinet and low budget looking woofers. Forget about the bombastic... | |
| Schiit Vidar.... Anyone heard one yet? Yep, I've been following various threads on Headfi.org, Superbestaudiofriends and computeraudiophile. I can only think of 3 or 4 owners that have reported issues. It's hard to quantify this as people are much more likely to report a problem that... | |
| Comparing Goldenear Aon 2 and Totem Rainmakers I appreciate Totem's approach to speaker design, it seems like Vince Bruzzese is a fanatic for details. I do like the Rainmaker and its somewhat U shaped frequency response, I suppose that's why I'm considering one of their Towers. Thanks for yo... | |
| Comparing Goldenear Aon 2 and Totem Rainmakers James, since you used to be a Totem dealer, could you share your impressions of the Hawk? I'm considering this model and wondering how difficult the revelator driver is to match with an amp. They are also going to release the Sky Tower, which is... | |
| Schiit Vidar.... Anyone heard one yet? It is their first stand alone speaker amp after all, I’m following owner comments to get an idea too. What I like about Schiit is the head guys are actual amp and dac designers that eat and breathe this stuff. The Five year warranty also helps, bu... | |
| Schiit Vidar.... Anyone heard one yet? A new owner on Audiokarma started a thread with a Vidar review, comparing it to an Emotiva A-300. The Vidar was superior in every way according to the owner.http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/amateur-review-of-schiit-vidar-power-amps-... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering Mofo, I was not beating on them, 3 or 4 of you were beating on me(and I was responding to that) for daring to critique them. Name calling and personal attacks about me and my gear for goodness sakes. Instead of simply countering my points, which a... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering It is indeed tired and dated, but fanboys attacking anybody that has a critical opinion of their speakers or other items has a long tradition on audio forums, unfortunately. The first time I ran into this behaviour was on the Emotiva forum. It w... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering james, you have no idea what my "education" may be with this hobby. I suggest you read more of my posts than the last week to see what I’ve owned previously. Parasound Halo, Paradigm Signature, etc. In the last year I got bored with my systems and... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering Totem does not misrepresent their specs, not sure what you're talking about there, james. That's my only point, which you can't refute. Tekton is either flat wrong about the Enzo's sensitivity, or the quality control is badly lacking. Either wa... | |
| Comparing Goldenear Aon 2 and Totem Rainmakers If you check out the Rainmaker frequency response, it is indeed rising at the top end. They are voiced/designed specifically, one either likes it or not I suppose(In contrast, the Totem Hawk have a much flatter frequency response). I’ve now owned ... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering I didn't pull any of that out of thin air. The measurements were done by Stereophile, and clearly show several cabinet resonance peaks, which Stereophile mentions. These resonances are the result of a rectangle cabinet with sides that vibrate. ... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering Make you go away? What is this, a school yard? Again your bias is showing, I am simply pointing it out as it's important as one weighs your many posts in this thread. | |
| Audioquest For anyone reading this thread after the fact, beware that the AQ Type 4 is an entry level cable with an aggregate wire gauge of 16. The Thiel 3.7 is a speaker that retails for $12900. Its impedance is under 3 ohms for much of the frequency range.... | |
| integrated amp recommendation needed Wow, I'm surprised there are any of those 225's still kicking around. Anthem discontinued them some time ago. |
