| Tekton Double Impacts jmontoya21:Enjoyed the review and thanks for posting.Have been listening to the DIs every day for the last 4 months and posted several reviews on threads after purchase. In general, thought this reviewer did a good job explaining the general natur... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts 333Jeffrey:Yes, your latest YouTube has a significantly more uniform frequency distribution and I can appreciate the Flecktones examples. They are my favorite jazz/indie/bluegrass group. Keep up the good work. The Flying Hippo tells the story on b... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering hifiman5:Think that Eric's business model can be explained by considering the broad changes that have taken place in the cultural/musical/audio fields since the 1980s.At this time there was a major shift in preference to visual over musical intere... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Jeffery:Very well done and A LOT of bass. Would have enjoyed a brief play from your Model D as a separate encore/coda. The speakers don't look excessively large at all in the room and work very well with the décor. Your microphone does a great job... | |
| Tekton Double Impact phase issues? Kdude99(in heart):Your answers are always well thought out and helpful -- you deserve a thanks from all of us who visit the Tekton threads. | |
| Tekton Double Impact phase issues? Kenny:This is very interesting and somewhat different than earlier descriptions of the 4-way crossover. From this I assume there are substantial ranges of the mid frequencies shared by the mid drivers and ring tweeters. If so, this makes Eric's de... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering stfoth:The Dis can be placed quite close to the wall if you place some kind of absorbent material behind the two ports. I am using custom built wall panels that do the trick because they remove first-order reflections that fight with/confuse the d... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering stfoth:Exactly.Call Eric and see if he isn't the kind of professional who can help you make the right choice. Best to get him at the right time as he can be overworked.FYI, have recently purchased and returned an expensive Class D amplifier. This ... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering stfoth:There are several reviews falling into your lukewarm category including one person who returned the speakers not because he disliked them, but because they were not that much better than his current ones. Read through the extended threads a... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering Kdude66:Yes, you are right about the large room and classical feeds with dynamic changes that could generate very disruptive bursts.As a classical musician, I sit in front of a large piano every day and once took the time to measure its decibel le... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering Speaking of math and the oft-stated "cheap speakers" in the DIs...Have been using the DIs for three months and after two, decided to purchase some backup speakers for those unfortunate blowups that might occur.So, I checked carefully on the Intern... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Gentlemen:Read this again:"That's what I use to judge how large an amplifier is required."There is nothing in this statement that suggests 400 watts are required for you and nothing that suggests quality is based upon 400 watts. Those inferences d... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Charles:Your comments are incorrect. Noone said one or another type amp sounded better. Reread the posts and reconsider. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Mac: The power handling figure provided by Eric is not his preference; it is the result of the drivers chosen and his computation of those drivers sounding within the crossover design. It is clear that you like small tube amps and I have read and ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts There's another way to look at power and the DIs. Eric specifies the power handling of the speakers at 400 watts. That's what I use to judge how large an amplifier is required. |
