| Has anyone here had any dealings with Tekton, particularly their subwoofers This has devolved a bit for the OP. Classic ASR vs Tekton owners thread. The truth is somewhere in the middle. I don't find Amir to be the most unbiased person, so his comments I take with a grain of salt. He trashed the Sony SSCS5 speakers th... | |
| Experience up-leveling streaming with USB cables? Shunyata alpha or theta USB was huge in my system. Went with slpha ultimately but theta gave me most of the alpha improvement but found a used alpha online for same price as a new theta. I'd HIGHLY recommend you find a local hifi shop to let you... | |
| Room is way too bright. Having a picture of your space may help us determine solutions. The ceiling panel, also known as a cloud, is probably your best bet without covering your windows with absorption. Handling that ceiling bounce will at least mitigate that reflectio... | |
| Has anyone here had any dealings with Tekton, particularly their subwoofers @incorrigable the drivers are "off the rack" but he goes through many tweeters to find matched responses, and bins the other ones. Not exactly the most environmentally friendly way to go about it, but I can't argue with the sound. @larsman I th... | |
| Has anyone here had any dealings with Tekton, particularly their subwoofers I have Tekton double impacts and impact monitors. Got the double impacts used and they crushed my existing speakers so much that I wanted to get the monitors as well. Took a while to get but was expected,like 8 weeks after they initially said 6.... | |
| What % Of Your System Are Your Cables? @oberoniaomnia very interesting to hear your experiences! Wow 90V drops!! I thought mine was bad for being between 124 and 126 I wonder sometimes if this cable thing is a system thing. Like maybe some systems are more sensitive? I don’t want to ... | |
| What % Of Your System Are Your Cables? @oberoniaomnia does this also mean you have no power conditioning? Some people are lumping that in with cabling. And I have to say, adding a Gemini 8 from Shunyata was a massive difference. I preferred a Cardas Parsec power cable for my amplif... | |
| After 20 years, in the market for a power amp I agree with those saying try the Kismet. I have a khartago cased Kismet and it's ridiculous. I have yet to go back to compare, but at the time while it was still warming up, the Kismet beat my friend's passlabs 250.8 as far as imaging, and clar... | |
| Ugliest Component of the Year 2024! I'll throw klipschorn and other giant boxes by them in the mix. Don't like how they sound either which makes it worse for me. And yea the rant on ASR was not a good moment for Tekton. To be fair I didn't think their base model Lore was that bad... | |
| Ugliest Component of the Year 2024! Tekton dude, Eric, clearly doesn't want to do gloss paint lol. As a businessperson, probably one of those things where it's like "if they want it, they'll pay for it otherwise I can just do the part I like doing" I own the double impacts and imp... | |
| 2-way design vs. 3-way design means ? Whether a design is two way or three way won't tell you a whole lot about its capabilities. Some people even swear by a single driver design (although I have yet to hear any of the exotic examples of them). As most audiophiles will tell you, lis... | |
| Power cord I have a treated studio room and demo'd many power cables including a $2000 nordost power cable to my Odyssey kismet power amp. I tried several brands, a few nordost, cards, shunyata. Imo the Cardas Parsec beat all of them. Lucky for me it was ... | |
| Room with glass windows as a walls. Glass walls are rough. If there's ANY possible way for her to hang acoustic clouds on the ceiling, that would be my suggestion. You can make them yourself for super cheap or order them from a company like GiK Acoustics. Minimal issue, just need... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move If you like the immediacy that a horn provides, but want more realism, I'd suggest going with a Tekton Design model. The Moab with the new ceramic drivers and beryllium center is most likely astonishing value. My friend just ordered them and the... | |
| critique my setup -- weak link? best way to improve? Speakers would be the biggest bang for your buck improvement IF you can afford 1500-3k on new speakers. I am personally a huge fan of Tekton Design Impact Monitors and Double Impact, but any of their designs with the seven tweeter array I'm sure ... |
