| Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive Thanks @willrich47, you just gave us a peek at the distant future. As long as my generation is still around, they will cling to their vinyls, turntables, class A amps, two channel systems and $500k floor standing speakers. I am grateful they let f... | |
| Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive @willrich47 How many channels were at play? Was it multi channel or stereo? Thanks for the report. | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) @goheelz Specifically, we are referring to amps like the Merrill Audio Element 116 Merrill Audio - Element 116 Power Amplifier Monoblocks the AGD Audio Gran Vivace AGD Gran Vivace Monoblock · AGD Productions the Nuprime Evolution One The Nu... | |
| Stay grounded Yep. Some well grounded people believe that these apparatus are effective only if there is a deficiency in the system that needs to be addressed. We are probably lucky 😀 | |
| Stay grounded My experience was somewhat different. I had the Synergistic Research Active Ground Block SE in my system with all the necessary and recommended ground leads for a few months. When I took it out, I didn’t notice any difference so I sold it. Their P... | |
| Intriguing inquiry, are floor-stand speakers always better than active speakers? Good discussion folks. I like a thread that makes me smarter by providing me with more information than I started with. Thanks. | |
| Intriguing inquiry, are floor-stand speakers always better than active speakers? @ghdprentice Keep in mind, the amps in these good and some of them (KII3) great active speakers are NOT low cost class D amps. These amps are actually quite good. They are designed an optimized for one specific driver and no cable between the am... | |
| Frequency Response @erik_squires Nice article. It’s well written and well executed I appreciate your honesty when you said: ”Lets be honest, these are not typical results. This happens to be the combination of my speakers, room, listening location and, very im... | |
| Intriguing inquiry, are floor-stand speakers always better than active speakers? @audioman58 I would say 100% of the time a QUALITY separate amplifier is of much higher quality than a LOW COST class D amp in an active speaker. | |
| Intriguing inquiry, are floor-stand speakers always better than active speakers? @holmz Didn’t quite get the last point, sorry. Frequency response is not the whole story, I hope you would agree. Also, because THIS floor stander has a better frequency response than THAT floor stander is not a reason to judge an entire design ... | |
| Frequency Response @polkalover Yes you should use at least one sub. Your speakers bass response depends a lot on placement and on the room itself. The placement requirements for your mains to provide good images and tonality are different from the requirements to ... | |

| Intriguing inquiry, are floor-stand speakers always better than active speakers? @ghdprentice That said high quality floor standing speakers out perform active ones at this time. The folks at KII Audio would take offense in that statement 😊. I would have to agree with them. | |
| Power Conditioning on the Cheap I second @mitch2 opinion. It’s always better to start on solid, proven ground. Later on, you can add a conditioner. The better your power, the less hard the conditioner has to work to clean it. You should start here. Good luck. https://www.msb... | |
