| 3-4 dB dip at crossover region: what should I listen for to hear it? @toddalin, thanks for posting the graphs. Is this generally what's behind the "horn coloration" I've heard mentioned? | |
| 3-4 dB dip at crossover region: what should I listen for to hear it? @toddalin thanks for the explanation and video. I thought both sets of speakers came off pretty bad in rhat video, but - and feel free to accuse me of being biased - the JBLs were much more tolerable. The Klipsch sounded quite shouty to me, wherea... | |
| 3-4 dB dip at crossover region: what should I listen for to hear it? @jheppe815, thanks for the information -- very reassuring. My top end is pretty smooth so maybe these have more hours on them than I thought. Overall I like them, but I need more time to adjust to their sound. They’re SO dynamic. I’m used to the m... | |
| 3-4 dB dip at crossover region: what should I listen for to hear it? @toddalin, thanks, I will listen for this and compare with my other speakers. Can I ask what you mean by "overtones"? | |
| 3-4 dB dip at crossover region: what should I listen for to hear it? @jheppe815, glad to hear you’re enjoying your 4349s after two years. They’re definitely growing on me. Can I ask if you experienced a long break-in period? I actually bought mine used but I don’t think the original owner played then much beyond a ... | |
| 3-4 dB dip at crossover region: what should I listen for to hear it? @erik_squires , thanks for your input on this thread! | |
| 3-4 dB dip at crossover region: what should I listen for to hear it? Thanks to everyone for the responses. So it seems like a narrow dip in spl at one point in the range is relatively inconsequential, at least in this instance. That's good to know. @roadcykler, your post is surprising on an audiophile forum. Wh... | |
| 3-4 dB dip at crossover region: what should I listen for to hear it? Believe it or not I actually would like to hear it, if only so I can better relate measurements to performance. The thing is, I’m not sure these speakers are right for me (too soon to tell - I always take a long time to adjust to new gear), so whi... | |
| 3-4 dB dip at crossover region: what should I listen for to hear it? @corelli, apologies for the misunderstanding -- should have written that I played concerto recordings, lol. Good advice on trusting my ears. I like a lot of the things these speakers do but they're pretty new so I'm still adjusting to them. | |
| 3-4 dB dip at crossover region: what should I listen for to hear it? Thanks for the reply @ellajeanelle. That’s really interesting. According to most of the posters on the 4349 thread at ASR, this dip is an unforgivable sin. I’ve been taking hifi seriously for about 15 years but have only recently been using measur... | |
| Decware and SET Low Power Tube Amps with Hi Efficency Speakers I used to run a pair of Tekton Lores with my Decware SE84UFO2. I thought the combo was great until I upgraded to a pair of Omega Super Alnico High Output XRS towers and realized what I’d been missing with the Tektons. I think the little 2wpc Decwa... | |
| Decware and SET Low Power Tube Amps with Hi Efficency Speakers I drive my Tekton Lores with a Decware Zen. The combination is pure magic as far as I'm concerned. Imaging is amazing. Let me know if you have any specific questions. | |
| Am I totally nuts or just a bit off? I agree with Schubert. I always feel more like I'm listening to live music when I listen to mono--especially classical. Maybe this is because I always sit in the nose-bleed seats at classical concerts, so there is no left, right, center, etc. to t... | |
| Tekton custom grills I had to bother Eric about once every two weeks for 4 months before I got my grilles. He hates making grilles. Keep bothering him, they will come. | |
| Can I use integrated as standalone pre and/or amp? Forgot to mention in the first post that I also rotated the tubes, but it didn't help. I'll have to call Decware. Decware offers a lifetime warranty, which is great, but I was hoping not to have to ship it in for repairs as they charge 100 bucks t... |
