| lack of bass Did you change anything acoustically?? new furniture, open doors? | |
| lack of bass Use a 1.5 to 9v battery on each speaker. Check that the woofers move, and stick in place. | |
| External PSU shuts down the breaker Hi OPBreakers are designed for safety.Remove everything from the circuit, and attempt to reset the breaker. If you do, add one device at a time. Inspect any cables for damage. If you have a bad cable or device, it will trip when you insert it agai... | |
| External PSU shuts down the breaker This unit does have an integral fuse. Unless that fuse has been replaced with something far larger than required, it would be quite difficult for it to be tripping breakers on its own. The GFCI / spark arrestor type breakers might though. | |
| External PSU shuts down the breaker Is it possible the existing circuit is close to overload? What happens if you plug in a house lamp? | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 I would expect, based on the specs at Seas, that the Pulsar two would demand a new crossover, and may loose 1-2 dB of sensitivity. However, that doesn't necessarily change the tonal balance, that's something the designer could keep more or less co... | |
| Measuring impedance with multimeter Of course it is not "the only answer" but I wanted to avoid endless hackery and half baked solutions propping up here.DATS is pretty comprehensive, allowing the measurement of drivers, entire crossovers and every component thereof. It is inexpensi... | |
| Tekton tweeter design I wanted to say, in case this wasn't clear, that I am neither a fan boy nor a detractor of Tekton. I think they are ugly, but I think the tweeter array is interesting, and their ability to sell the speakers at the prices they do is amazing. I've a... | |
| I feel bad for speaker manufacturers It's not. You plug the information into a computer and it spits out the characteristics. This is a bit of a glaring over-simplification. Yes, simulation tools are available to anyone for a fraction of what they would cost, if they were even avai... | |
| Tekton tweeter design One thing I know is not happening, is you are not getting better sound from lighter, more drivers. That's a myth that has been debunked numerous times.In terms of extension, dynamic range and distortion, large drivers with equally large motors rule. | |
| Tekton tweeter design Hi @travbrow Part of it is by design. Having a tight beam means less room interference. The speakers will sound more like headphones when you are in the sweet spot. But part of it was how they tweeters would remain integrated off axis. That part i... | |
| Tekton tweeter design In the case of this particular speaker, one thing I noted was the choice of low crossover slopes between the 6" (or whatever) mid-woofers and the tweet array. I felt off axis response could be greatly improved, especially vertically. Patrick, havi... | |
| Tekton tweeter design 1 - Yes, if you mean, the quality of the sound. However, it's the dispersion that's the key unique attribute of this design. 2 - The controlled dispersion is the main attribute of the array. It will act more like a line array or ESL in that it wil... | |
| Measuring impedance with multimeter Dayton Audio DATS is the only answer to this question. | |
| Decision on speakers to go inside a cabinet Alternatively, buy a ported speaker and plug the port! :) |
