| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker @nicksgem10s What kind of budget do you have for an amp and what is your preamp/front end? Dale himself swears by Musical Design gear and how well it mates with his stuff. It is a little under the radar, like the Summits and very affordable. | |
| Damaged speaker rubber on Focal Electra 1008 Be. Return or Keep? Did you notice anything unusual when unpacking the speakers? It looks as if something was resting against the rubber for an extended period, possibly during shipping. The rubber "took a set" and assumed the form of what was resting against it. If ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @jcarcopo No problems. It was not my intention to stir anything up. I am about seeing the small guys succeed. It sounds as if Tekton will be there with Parasound according to KLH007. There are 4 hotels in the immediate vicinity of the show that a... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @charles1dad Calling it an attack was probably going to far. But there has been innuendo that I am sniping the company, too lazy to put the effort into audition the speaker in my own home, and that I am just being difficult. That is not the cas... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I just don't understand why people are so upset. I am considering these as a possible replacement for a pair of Mosaic Acoustics Illuminations. If you have never heard of them, look them up. They are a $25,000 a pair set of speakers made by Dale P... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I have been to both RMAF and Axpona. Travel 1300 miles to RMAF or 300 to Axpona when the vast majority of the exhibitors are the same at both shows? Travel another 1000 miles to hear one speaker? I think not. They have a dealer in the immediate ar... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I was hoping to finally hear the Double Impacts at Axpona this year. Despite all of the buzz here, and having a dealer in the Chicago suburbs, Tekton will not be showing for a second year in a row at Axpona. It is only one of the largest shows in ... | |
| What is the name of your system? Surely not Shirley. | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? Stick with separates. Clearly there is nothing out there up to your standards, what ever they are. And stick with the cheapest ones you can find, because everything that is high priced is a ripoff. You will surely achieve stellar sound with your a... | |
| Tekton custom grills I have to agree with Kosst on this. It is inexcusable to have this kind of an issue on something so simple. Why in the world would the grills not ship with the speakers if they were ordered that way? If he has to hire out grill building to keep up... | |
| Terminals spade type loosening the binding posts I would never put any kind of Loctite on binding posts. Even though the blue is considered removable, it requires a significant amount of force more than normal to break it loose. Too much risk of damaging the speakers. Plus it is going between co... | |
| Mirage M3si woofer replacement / substitute Be patient and watch ads here, on EBay, and US Audiomart. You will see M3si speakers parted out from time to time. It can't hurt to see if your one option can rebuild the damaged driver as well. Also, did you pull the driver and verify that it is ... | |
| How do SVS subwoofers compare to REL? Yes, for the most part, we do agree. I am not opposed to large woofers per se, but have had very good success with a single Rythmik F12SE with multiple main speakers. I would love to get another one of them and use it to help tame room modes. Subs... | |
| How do SVS subwoofers compare to REL? What I did was compare apples to apples. That is my point. Most well designed 10 inch subs are capable of 25 hz. How much music is occurring below that frequency? Why would a 10 inch sub sound faster than a 15 if they are set up properly? My "defi... | |
| How do SVS subwoofers compare to REL? I suspect that part of the explanation for the observation that big woofers are slower may therefore be that they potentially generate more room modes. If the subwoofers are playing at the same level, in the same room/same location, with the... |
