| Tekton DI Monitors It would be very interesting to know if anyone had been able to compare the Enzo's to the DI monitors, for the sake of comparing the quasi' D'Appolito style to a more conventional use of dual woofers. Best,E | |
| Tekton DI Monitors Hi Charles,My critique may be a moot point is listeners don't mind the off axis performance or plan on only listening in one fixed location. I think that for the same price, a slight re-arrangement of the woofers along with a higher order crossove... | |
| Tekton DI Monitors @teajay - I understand the theory of the tweeter array and I think it's very interesting. What I meant was, the DI monitor's quasi-D'Appolito design leaves things to be desired. If those woofers were closer together you'd get even more of the arra... | |
| Mytek Dac going Ac to DC power. I'm using Monster cable's finely stranded 14 gauge speaker cable. If I can find them in my bag of goodies I'm going to try snap on ferrite cores. | |
| Tekton DI Monitors Based on the impedance charts, I'm guessing the woofers cross over at around 1kHz when (based on spacing) they should have been crossed around 300 Hz. Alternatively, the designer could have done an (array) - WW design, eliminating the comb filter... | |
| Tekton DI Monitors @teajay - On the other hand the woofer to array crossover seems rather high, around 1-2 kHz, so we can’t call the outer ring mid-woofers either. Point is, why bother with a W - (something) - W array if you are not going to get the benefits? Yeah, ... | |
| Tekton DI Monitors teajay - * moot * :)And thank you for your informed listening experience! It sounds like that tweeter array is behaving as expected for you. Erik | |
| Tekton DI Monitors @corelli - It really depends on the buyer. I often have music playing in my home regardless of what I'm doing, so having a pleasant off-axis experience in both planes is important for me. There's much that has been written that a lot of consumers ... | |
| Tekton DI Monitors Sean - Quite possibly. The proof would be in the measurements. Best,E | |
| Magico A3 vs. Focal Kanta 2 I would not trade the Elipsa or the Stradivari for anything on earth. Not only are those tweeters and drivers top notch, but those wide baffle speakers are transcendent. They bring their own sense of acoustics with them in ways narrow baffle speak... | |
| Dolby-free early stereo recordings sound best. Also, try out the Neo:6 deocding formats if you have them. :) | |
| Dolby-free early stereo recordings sound best. @gdnrbob ( I worked for one of Dolby's competitors in film processor space)True! Dolby Surround was based on fairly ham-handed steering for the sake of effects. Pow on the left! Bang on the right! That was the point. Movies were rollercoasters, an... | |
| Dolby-free early stereo recordings sound best. OP - The same was true for Dolby Surround films. They actually used Dolby-A on the L/R optical tracks on top of a second layer of Dolby-B or C (can't remember) for the decoded surround channel. However! Based on my experience this was not on the e... | |
| Speakers for aging audiophiles - What's with today bass emphasis ? Room acoustics and placement should be considered first, as well as speakers. Some Dynaudio speakers are really tuned for low volume listening. These are also ported speakers, so you may find yourself liking them a lot more if you stuff the ports ... | |
| Need power amp recommendations for system @stereo5 - Definitely not my experience with the stereo amps. |
