| 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 My heath is fine. My mental health suffers when on the Gon threads as I find they go nowhere due to closed mindedness among other things. I won’t go into it here. Many good folks on this thread and enjoy your DIs. I will take mine to a level beyo... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Evolvist all good points. I am however clearly hearing this speaker’s unique voice. It is what it is. Decide and tweak accordingly. | |

| Tekton Double Impacts WE 10 gauge is actually on the warm side completely. Owners know this about the 10 gauge. Wonderful full bodied cable. That is why I own it. The 16 gauge is more lively. My system is geared and specifically tweaked for rich, full bodied sound. The... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Yes fully broken in as they are 3 months old. My comments are vs speakers like the AZ Crescendo and other top shelf speakers. No right or wrong here folks. No need to be defensive or looking for explainations under the rug and the like. All this... | |
