| Tekton Double Impacts I still have not heard back from Eric. I don't call because the last time I called, Karma told me that Eric is so busy building speakers that I should email instead. So that is what I am doing....I am not particularly happy with Tekton right now..... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I'm just hoping the Pioneer M-22 that I have coming is powerful enough with 30 watts, all Class A, at 4 ohms.I have some friends that say the M-22 amp is magic if you have enough power to get the headroom you need for the music you listen to. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I had the speakers made so they could take grills but I don't have grills currently. Regardless, the caps should be correct even if I were to choose to cover them.If Eric is willing to send me new drivers I can install them. Are the connecters to ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts No, that didn't come with the speakers.... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I am waiting on Eric to respond with something other than "use a shop vac".... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts So I used the shop vac....it pulled the covers out.....but there are still remnants of them being collapsed. I fear these covers will always look like this which is like crap! As I said, the covers looked like they were supposed to be like as all ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Eric said that it was due to air pressure changes during shipping. He said use a shop vac to "gently" pull them out..... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts The boxes came in perfect shape. There was no damage to anything in the box either. All four woofer caps look exactly the same. They are so much the same I thought it was intentional and by design. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Okay, all four of my woofers have a dimpled dome. In other words, it looks like someone pushed them in. They are all the same and it looks uniform. I thought nothing of it until I saw @grey9hound 's photos. His aren't dimpled....Anyone else have d... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @almarg The output impedance of my preamp in tube gain mode SE is 210 ohms. Is that considered high? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @sbayne Do the Rothwell attenuators alter the sound signal. I suspect they must. Any experienced there? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @klh007 Thank you for the suggestion.The hum isn't power related. At least I don't think it is. I have a 2.5kVA Topaz .0005pF isolation transformer (146dB of common mode noise reduction) wired up in balanced power mode (good for another 20dB of co... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @kdude66 I have several different sets of 1940’s and 1950’s NOS tubes that I am using with Freya. I am using the tube gain mode with Vidar because I prefer the sound with the tubes. But, I am not happy with the audible hum from the speakers. I sus... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @kdude66 What sound level do you think I can get out of the First Watt F7? I listen to Classical, older Red Book content, as well as the more compressed current Red Book content. I think my average sound level is about 85dB with current Red Book c... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @kdude66Unless there is a Threshold amp I am unaware of, I am not prepared to spend $4K to $6K on an amp. Which Threshold do you like? |
