Certainly unusual but if they can fix the app and include preset eq through the dial then it’d be quite good

Remember when Dr. Bose argued that Consumer Reports didn't account for "direct/reflected sound" in their review of the 901 speakers and...

I noticed that every decade of music (on streaming services) down you go, the less care there is. The less popular genres is basically a...

Depending on what that target "certain directivity" is, and how much of the spectrum it applies to, various manufacturers use various...

Any wideband diaphragm of that size is going to go into breakup eventually as frequency goes up, which creates spatial irregularities...

Maybe Tekton would be amenable to sending one if we were a bit nicer

I'd just like to see some actual directivity sonograms and not this retro stuff from Stereophile. In theory a coaxial with different...

I would not call these Tektons arrays "coaxial", obviously the 2+1 and 14+1 arrays are not even coaxial from a geometric perspective and...

Does anyone have detailed directivity measurements of the so called coax array? I'd be curious how well Tekton got it to work. I find it...

An audiophile mate sent me this:

Just why, when and who? And if you were naming them now what words would you use instead in the 21st century (and why) This is a...

I don't mean to be dismissive of panel speakers, but I don't think narrow directivity was one of the things which motivated people to...
