| Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to? I went from tekton 6.5t monitors to ProAc studio 148. The 6.5t were on rigid yet minimalist linn / sound organization stands and are for sale in the Seattle area as shipping with stands are spendy. I remember many a great nights with those 6.5t mo... | |
| What is the future for Proac Speakers ? @nolaholic, you must give those speakers some room to breath. ProAcs like to be away from the front and side walls, at least 12" if not double or triple that. I wish I could move my ProAc studio 148s out form the front wall more than I have them... | |
| $20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch! Or you could possibly call Sound Organization in Texas. They are the ProAc importers for the US. They might be able to setup a listening session for you or an extended return window? | |
| $20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch! ProAcs are known for their synergy with tubes, plus look and sound amazing. There is a beautiful rosewood D48 with the ribbon tweeters brand new on ebay for $12000 with free shipping and 14 day return policy. Unfortunately, ProAcs take a long ti... | |
| $20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch! Buy a pair of ProAc D48 and be done with it. | |
| Power line conditioners- to use or not to use? That is the question? I have DC on my line plus about 8% distortion. I’ve tried multiple conditioners and DC blockers. All reduced dynamics in my system except for the following:Emotiva CMX-2 DC Blocker and Line FilterAll of my sources and preamps are down stream of th... | |
| Power cord for digital stuffs? I use signal cable magic power on all my sources (digital and analog) including preamp and phono preamp. Great cable for $70 and 30 day trial. | |

| What's the weak link in my system? Did you remove the power conditioning? If so, what were the results? If not, why? | |
| Vibration Issues / Turntable Decisions Wall rack all the way. I built a custom one that extends farther out into room, cut the back of my stereo cabinet out and the turntable looks like it is on a cabinet shelf but it is actually just above it. See my system page for a picture. | |
| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? I love my ProAc Studio 148 floor standers, which were just over $3000 and use the same tweeter as the Response line. Too bad they stopped making them. ProAc Studio 140 mkI are the same speaker without the phase plug. | |
| Tekton Speakers,Who owns them and what did you replace and why. I had Tekton 6.5t monitors (like totems) on rigid yet minimal sound organization Linn stands in front of audio refinement separates and a modified rega RP6. I liked them better than Fritz carbon monitors and Ascend Sierra Towers. They imaged well ... | |
| What's the weak link in my system? Did you try eliminating the power conditioner from the system? | |
| What's the weak link in my system? Every power conditioner I've tried has killed dynamics and openness in my system except the Emotiva CMX-2 DC Blocker and Filter. I've tried Furman, PS Audio, UPS units and a DYI one. The CMX- blocks most of the DC on my line and all of my sources ... | |
| Furukawa power cables Try the Signal Cable MagicPower cables for less than $100 shipped and made in the USA. I love mine on all my source components and preamps. |
