| Tekton Impact Monitors Hi All. I have been following along with this sometimes colorful discussion. I can say, sedond (Doug) that I did not try toeing in so that the direct path of the tweeters crossed in front of the listening position. With time to think about all thi... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors I just got off the phone with Eric. We had a great conversation about the Impact Monitors that I returned. He tested them both on- and off-axis and declared them "perfect". He is very happy with the performance of the dome tweeter with this speake... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors pawsman I looked at the photos and I believe the tweeters are the same as those in the IMs that I had. You can look inside through the port with a flashlight and see the maker and number of the tweeters and I'll bet they are as kdude66 suggests, t... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors kdude66, giantsalami, pawsman - The IMs that I had were equipped with SB Acoustics dome tweeters. You could see them through the reflex port. Very interesting. | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors @kdude66 Hi KennyI had the IMs for a little more than a month and listened a lot during that time. I would guess I had 125 - 150 hours on them when I finally made the decision. We left them running with FM radio or CD on repeat for several days wh... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors @pawsman Thanks for the input on your Impact Monitors and I totally agree about the scale and "impact" they can produce (appropriate name, really). I do have a question, though, if you don't mind. Do your Impact Monitors have the ring radiator twe... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors @why0why, @bullitt5094 and @david_ten. I think we were confused by the different names...I am only referring to the Impact Monitors. I have not heard any other Tekton speakers. When I called Eric about the dome tweeters he assured me that the dome... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors @why0why The monitors I had (see last post) were upgraded. Interestingly, they did not have the ring radiator tweeters, but instead had the dome tweeters that some other Tekton models have (like the Brilliance I believe). As I explained in my last... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors Well, I made the tough decision to return my Impact Monitors. I did extensive A to B comparisons with two other bookshelf speakers I have (my Spendor LS3/5As and some extinct Esper Systems speakers; both very warm mid-range specialists) and made t... | |
| Emotiva ERC-3 or Music Hall C-DAC15.3 / connections? I also use the ERC-3 and really like it. RCA to my now vintage Quad preamp. Granted I haven't listened to many other players in my system, but it is much more revealing than my previous Yamaha player, but definitely not cold or harsh sounding. It ... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors Hi danorooI haven't made the commitment to stands yet. Right now my IMs are sitting directly on top of my SVS subwoofers (on rubber feet) with the subs spiked to the floor. Seems to be working, but of course I will give some stands a try in the fa... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors Hi sbayne,I'm listening on the short side, so to speak. The room is 13 x 35 or so and I'm listening across the 12' width. The speakers are 9' apart and right now are sitting directly on top of my SVS subwoofers until I get some stands. The tweeter... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors Hi Stelo,I haven't listened to any of the B&W 800 series in a long time, so I can't really comment about that comparison. I was listening to some early Susan Tedeschi last night and I was really impressed with how the Tektons kept all the inst... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors Hi audionut22,I have not heard the LS50's in my system, but have in an audio shop (in Chicago). They are outstanding speakers, but the sheer scale of sound coming from the Impact Monitors is on a different level. They are much too big for a deskto... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors Hi giantsalami,That is way cool. Thanks for responding and it is great to hear that you feel the same way about them that I do. Great looking setup! |
