| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers Had you thought about an option of making a Moab with just one central beryllium tweeter (used as the tweeter) with the others making up the "midrange" of regular composition? It seems like you would get most of the real benefits (i.e., high end ... | |
| Anyone hear or own Musical Technology (Heil AMT's) speakers? My thought is that for the most coherent vocal presentation, it makes sense to keep the vocals in one speaker rather than spread them across a few drivers. And I never wanted to replace surround foams. The 2251J is a very special ~9.5" driver tha... | |
| Anyone hear or own Musical Technology (Heil AMT's) speakers? I cross them over ~3kHz and run the speakers as "2.5-ways." Audyns are Q4s, 400 volts ClarityCaps are filmcaps, 630 volts Resistors are Dale, 1%. Chokes are air core, 14 gauge. Lpads are typically run "flat out" BTW, these can "rock" with ... | |
| Anyone hear or own Musical Technology (Heil AMT's) speakers? BTW, this is the SACD on an Oppo95 through a Yamaha RX-Z9 RECEIVER in "Pure Direct" mode. There is no eq or room correction being used, electronic or physical. The room volume is ~5,000 cubic feet. | |
| Anyone hear or own Musical Technology (Heil AMT's) speakers? BTW, You can buy the Great Heils directly from ESS and they will typically have ~twice yearly sales of $250/pr including the mounting hardware and rubber gaskets. Best I can tell, my pair came from a pair of AMT1Ds. | |

| Anyone hear or own Musical Technology (Heil AMT's) speakers? But they don’t have my mods. Note the flairs. Maybe they will if they see this. Still, it doesn’t show the rear mods which are most significant. BTW, I and another on the JBL Forum, have found that the Heils image better if you block off the rear ... | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? May have hit on something yesterday. 😉 Very tired, I was listening to the system, and noted that for a moment I dozed off and when I came back too, the system sounded a bit different..., maybe more articulate. We know that, within reason, louder... | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? "Shuts down at 23:00" Do you have any automatic lights that turn off at this time? Our driveway lights are on a timer as were our front door lights and even a Grunfos high pressure recirculating pump that delivers instantaneous hot water and 11PM... | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? You never state your source. If it is at all internet/cable provided, perhaps what is happening is on their end (e.g., a bunch of people log off around that time freeing up bandwidth). | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers Probably too soon for them to post the on-line review. The cabinets are reported as slightly smaller with better bracing. | |
| Component contributions to “sound stage” The recording is probably the most important followed by the speakers and their placement. My speakers are 7.5 feet apart center-to-center, but the Rhodes fills the entire "front of the house" (26 feet), and then some. Some on the JBL forum ha... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers Last month Stereophile tested the B&W 801 D4. The pair cost $50,000 and are nowhere near as smooth as the Moab BEs. I'm betting that they don't go nearly as loud either. And Stereophile even noted that these are used as mastering monitors. ... | |
| A listening test of two power amps I can't read the flac files and don't care to load the software to enable it. Put them on YouTube for a bigger audience. | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers Thanks guys. The Vette would go for about the price of 5 - 6 (2.5 - 3 pr) of the Moabs, new. The paint and bodywork was as much as a single Moab. 😉 |
