What is wrong with my system?
Sorry, I didn’t read any of the comments just the original post. Specifically: I think my components are all good, but together my system is not making music, rather is is making bright bass less noise. Then I look at the list of components and th... 
TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS
To be honest, a lot of the negativity around Tekton has to do with the product itself. From top to bottom they are so much better dollar for dollar than anything else, which means almost everyone else is stuck listening to overpriced crap, and thi...
