Tekton Double Impacts
All current DI speakers come this way stock and have been for some months now...just not sure how many months. It is his latest.

Hi JT. I was talking about making you a power cable and we can contact each other directly on that. Yes, your computer is not ideal and I think you already know that. Computer audio can sound amazing, but like great analog rigs ..... everything ma...

I actually asked and they are just talking about it now with nothing in the works yet.

You can use bare wire if your posts take them easily. On the amp end my 2170 has large holes in the posts that accept the 10 gauge wire nicely. On the speaker end the Cardas binding posts don’t have a hole and it is not easy or secure to wrap the ...

@mofojo Yes you can but a couple of things to consider. - once you attach the clips you will have to put the driver back in place and be very sure that part and the clip does not come loose and short out! Oh my! - the clip will impart a sound and ...

@mac48025.    Seems like you have to order at least 100 feet.  Wonder if this stuff is exactly the same as the NOS stuff? Interesting. I prefer the Duelund version of this wire as they do not use pvc. They only use natural fibers and oil.  I think...

I forget which end of the crossover board you need to access. Was it towards the top or bottom of the array? I forget. Sorry. Remove the top or bottom midrange driver and take a quick look. Can you access the solder points without removing the boa...

I want to share that Eric at Tekton was kind enough to share the value of this resistor to me. This is a very worthwhile upgrade and points to the fact that the builder is passionate about continuously extracting the very best sound possible out o...

Yes. Add a 15 ohm resistor across the two 6 inch midrange drivers. . One 15 ohm resistor placed in each speaker. It needs to be placed in parallel to the 68uf shunt capacitor. The resistor should be at least 10 watts. You will need to access the c...

Not aware of and cannot find this NEW WE cable you say is being sold?

One more thing. Western Electric 10 gauge bulk speaker cable is very nice on your speaker and has a wonderful warm, full bodied tone. It is very inexpensive as an 8 foot set would cost about $65. I am using it and love it. Great tone and as far fr...

The brightness is coming from elsewhere based on the sonic signature of the 2170. It is a tad warmish in stock form. I have learned a great deal about Computer playback and specifically usb of late. I have many cures for you, but some will cost a ...

Couple of things you may already know, but just in case.....- leave it fully on, not standby, but fully on for best sound. - put a good cord/conditioner on it like Core Power Technologies - decent footers Thats it! Mine is on all the time. Pulls l...

That 2170 makes every single speaker I have placed on it sound just wonderful after room correction. Mine will never leave! Right now it is playing some Living Voice OBX RW speakers beautifully. These speakers are my current project. LV speakers w... 
Binding Post Jumpers - New Product!!!
Yes I have tried the Belden wire, but not the braiding you mention. Also, I have never liked the sound of silver over copper cable. I have always found it to be a tad edgy and a tad lean in the past. I am open minded enough to realize there may be...
