| $2000 Tektons, which one for my use? OP if you go with Tektons there isn't anything in them that is expensive. The drivers are surely under 100.00 each and internal parts are pretty rugged (crossover). Used is a great way to go.I think I herd of one driver being blown and there are a... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? If you flip a switch, they are line stage.Flaw, I don’t think so. Either or in all their new gear..Some people think line stage means volume only, not even a balance.I personally wouldn’t own just a line stage. The closest I have ever owned is a K... | |
| Which Room is Best Between These Two 9,3 X 13,2, near field, fast room I'd say..The square room, kitty corner is the best way..Regards.. | |
| Recommendations for cables based on components Why 25 feet OP what’s the deal? 3 meters is a push 2 is better. Is there any way you can move things? It’s just too long for a better solution all around. Higher quality cables, and shorter for a much better SQ, dollar for dollar.. I dare say if y... | |
| $2000 Tektons, which one for my use? dill? That's not like you..:-)Let them say something first, maybe something changed. :-) Good fortune or a new puppy or rabbit in their life. :-)Regards | |

| MC 240 ReTube or Replace It sure sounds like a valve or a bad connection at a valve. Clean and tighten the pin pockets. Then take the valves and plunge them into a cotton ball with WD40 a dozen times. Wipe everything off and insert the valves back in the sockets.. 101 val... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? Hardly ever heard them. I imagine they sound good but they look so pretentions. If you wear several rings and large gold chain they may fit in a lounge that has velvet paintings of cigar smoking, sombrero wearing, pistol toting Mexicans. <<&... | |

| My Experience With Tekton The Pinto engine 2400 was and still is one of the most successful engines ever produced. It is used in a LOT of industrial application's, forklifts, man-lifts, water pumps, model T & A replicas. :-)Regards | |
| Anyone ever swap a driver on their B&W 600 series? Not know anything about your speakers or your system wouldn't an EQ be a better solution or placement or room treatment? Have you tried an EQ in your system? Do you have tone control?I'm just saying there are a lot better solutions than ripping ou... |
