Why People Like Tekton
I have a low opinion of the Tekton design principals.  It is flawed in many ways; however, the above claim ("build your own clone") truly devalues the work in the design of these speakers.  The designer in essence has created a a coxial driver wit... 
Ribbon midrange pros and cons
A slight correction to Raul's comments.  The  Classé DR 3-VHC is not a 25 watts/ch amp, it is spec'd at 45 watts/ch in pure class A.  The smaller DR 2 and DR 3 were rated at 25 watts/ch.  They could all be bridged and basically quadruple their po...

Victor TT 101 vs TT 81

Victor TT 101 vs TT 81
Thanks for the info Halcro and HW.  Halcro, to be honest, I have a bias towards coreless design (interesting you find it difficult to differentiate from the two...food for thought), but was concerned about the complexity of the 101 (more things th...
