| Tekton Double Impacts Yes, you can have differing values. In the cases I point out the change in values reflects a change in the frequencies handled by the drivers they feed. This change in frequencies handled will change the sound especially if all 6 outer ring tweets... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I assume they do to. I agree 100%. I would still buy from them as I love his spirit of innovation and product. I do wish the design was more “finished” before intro however. Again, I point this out so we know we will hear differences in our DIs... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Understood. These changes have nothing to do with price points, cap brands, or upgraded parts like wire and binding posts. Not a question of these things at all. Simply crossover design and wild differences in just a period on months. 1.5uf cap in... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts For years, over years yes. But this much change in the initial intro months? Oh my. The builder has a passion to improve and refine so if substantial monthly changes are common without MK status changes, then we know it and refer to our DIs with b... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I suppose the builder has every right to do what he wants and to not share. It is certainly reasonable not to. It is his speaker and his design. I am OK with that actually. Not sure I would want to give up my secret sauce. However, my post is to b... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @audionoobie. I removed my own post, not Agon. I find Agon does a nice job of balancing and managing posts they deem inappropriate. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks Greg. Cost has nothing to do with these changes. These changes are for the net Sonic result only. Here is what I have found on the DI speaker. I have debated in my mind if I should share this next point. I do not want to cause the builder a... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I would not use a foil coil 😁on the DI array as they tend to be a tad more bright and brilliant. To my ear this would not be a good recipe for the DI. Actually the Solen Perfect Lay coils would be a wonderful choice. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @fetguy I looked at units like these, but I am not sure they are as accurate as I would like? I know a guy with the best testing/measurement gear and expert at driver and speaker design. I will use him. Thanks for the link however! @jcarcopo. Sorr... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Room correction sounds much better on the 2170 in every single room and set up I have knowledge of with the 2170. Both Kdude and I have had numerous system and speakers reflect this reality. I suppose it’s possible to have a different experience... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @porscheracerThe builder uses custom Eminence drivers and impossible to know exactly what they are. The woofers in the early DI speakers were very similar, if not exactly the same as the Alpha Eminence woofers. However, my set, made in the end of ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I want to caution folks who want to plow ahead and do an upgrade. Please note I said my crossover may be different than your DI crossover based on others who have looked at their parts and values. You must take apart your set and see what is in th... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Sorry for the typos as I used voice activation on my iPad. Ugh! I also forgot to mention the external board will be placed in an attractive wood case in time. The Beta woofer with the upgraded board really improved the bass in my room. You may not... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Well, I have completed the upgrade of my Tekton DI speakers. I purchased them used and they came with the $300 upgrade package. Before my upgrade I preferred my heavily modified Acoustic Zen Crescendo speakers. The Crescendo speakers had more bloo... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts If anyone is looking for a complete set of four 6.5 midrange drivers and four 10 inch woofer drivers as a replacement/back-up sets for their DIs just contact me. The Tekton DI original custom drivers only 50 or so days old and as new. Have boxes a... |
