| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Steve,Mac has owned Legacy speakers but I have not. (We had the Magnepan 1.7's in common.) Sorry I can't help you. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Bill, I was listening last night until the late hours (gotta love having a dedicated room. My wife says that was the main reason we built this house 3 yrs ago!). In spite of my electrolytic caps, etc. I still had a big smile on my face. My enth... | |
| Worked Backwards and Would like to Hear Suggestions on Speakers @roddyboy You really ought to go to the Tekton DI thread. Don't get hung up on the Tekton patent verbage or the issue that they blow away other speakers costing far more. (However, in fact, multiple owners have sold far more expensive speakers an... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @grannyring Addendum to above Bill. I should have made it clear that I would go with an alternative 220uf cap arrangement that would physically fit through the midrange opening as I'm sure the EVO oils do not. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @grannyring Hi Bill,Hoping you might answer a couple of questions.1)As I look at your diagram, am I correct in saying the 68uf cap is only active in the 6.5" midrange crossover? If so, I assume then a separate crossover board could be made for the... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @tektondesign Eric, Thanks for the advice. I know tweeter unsoldering/soldering can be unforgiving work. I will give this careful thought before changing a speaker I'm very happy with as is.What would be really helpful is if you might describe ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Great posts today. Glad you are keeping in touch with our thread Eric. I bought my DI's back early this year and verified I have an older crossover version. So I do have interest in updating these at some time. Maybe not to the degree/parts qu... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts oops-delete apostrophe | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Wife: " You'r Mom wants to know something nice you might like for your birthday."Me: "How about some Mundorf 100uf caps. Matched pairs would be best :)." | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Bullitt,I understand when listening in corrected mode it's suggested the speakers be placed against the front wall for best effect. So I'm wondering, did you place them that way and then move them out into the room in uncorrected mode? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Bill,YOU ARE THE MAN!Now I've got a great DIY project and upgrade pathway that I can obsess over for months. I hope you know what you've gotten yourself into--lot's of questions I'm sure. New caps will make great stocking stuffers this Christmas... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @don_1 Maggies will always be a speaker that I'm fond of. They occupy a very special place in the history of audio IMO. Good old American ingenuity--a great product at a very good price. But another great American value would be the Tekton DI's... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Bullitt,Like david_ten, wondering what specific sound qualities you noted in this comparison.Also, when you listened in the corrected vs. uncorrected comparison, did you change your speaker position? A bit surprised you were reluctant to post--... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Luke,The 1812's are more aimed towards the home theater crowd. Music lovers would be better served by the Ulf's. (This is per Eric) I do not recall any posts here by 1812 owners. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts ccc,several months back several DI owners placed there speakers very close to the front wall just to evaluate how much this would compromise the sound. I was surprised to read how well they did with that placement. |
