| Problem Solvers Needed-Got my New XOs installed and am worried.... @chorus Lots of great feedback here. Any thoughts?? | |
| Problem Solvers Needed-Got my New XOs installed and am worried.... If you loved the sound of these speakers what were you trying to achieve with this crossover?? I can perfectly understand replacing the stock crossover with higher quality caps, coils, and resistors. But did you give him license to rework the cr... | |
| Quality 1 meter RCA Interconnects under $100? See the Helix thread and build a really fine IC. | |
| Tripp Lite ISOBAR8ULTRA The internals of the Tripp Lite Isobar unit I have are very impressive for the cost. I only use this on a headphone based system with very low power draw. In that context, no, there is no degradation in sound. In fact, less noise and good spike... | |
| Speaker magnets There is always a trade off. The magnet needs to match the designers goals. Large magnets do increase efficiency. They also roll off and limit low frequency extension (all other variables being equal). | |
| Before I order the Magnepan 1.7s... Are you prepared to place the Magnepans where they can display their virtues or will the be tucked into the room where they "look good." If I could no optimize placement might well consider one of the above suggestions. As beauty is in the eye o... | |
| LSA 20 Statement Speakers @mbennes I was looking for a pair of speakers for my secondary system and considered the LSA 20's along with the Tekton Electron SE's. This system did not allow me to get the speakers as far off the front wall as I would normally prefer. Terry... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @jbhiller Thanks much for such a detailed and thoughtful response. Also enjoyed your comparison to the Elekit. Your impressions of the PL seemed to parallel mine but you used yours with far more speakers than did I. I love elegant solutions--a... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Wow. This thread is like a breath of fresh air. Gentleman posting really interesting and helpful information. Well done!@jbhiller Great job on the upgrade and pics. My OCD kicks in on these types of things so I can imagine some angst at removing t... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @morg111 I have always felt that the DI's, to my ear, were fundamentally neutral. You are right, this speaker is so capable in allowing you to hear what is ahead of it. As noted above, I do not feel that it is an issue of tubes vs. solid stat... | |
| SONY Power Amp question: Do not feel the Sony will come close to seeing what these speakers are capable of. I paired these with a Rotel 990 series power amp. Match made in heaven with tremendous low end grunt. The 990 had a huge power supply with great power into low... | |
| Mirage M5 si with Sony STR DA 3000 es Receiver Do not feel the Sony will come close to seeing what these speakers are capable of. I paired these with a Rotel 990 series power amp.

| Tekton Double Impacts @adversman As you have probably read the DI's allow the flexibility to go in many directions when it comes to your choice of amps. They will show the virtues and limitations of each. Sometimes I think it would be nice to have a stable of amps. ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @mgb1985 The driver in the DI is the Eminenece Alpha. But really it just needs the proper adhesive. Looks like the adhesive jetter suggested would be just fine. | |
| Speaker size and soundstage Speaker size has a lot to do with bass response. It has very little to do with imaging. Many times a simple two way monitor will offer a superior and huge image when set up correctly. One of the things that amazed me with Tekton DI's and the El... |
