The owner of Tekton has broken ears, and a broken moral compass. He needs to find another lane, hi-fi aint it chief. And Amir, even with your past dealings with Erin, your offer of generosity here is not lost on me. You're alright.

Agreed. Well spotted.

IMO no modern speaker should be using a metal dome tweeter that has its first breakup mode in the audible 20-20khz range. Its clearly recorded here at 16-17khz and hidden as a dip in the direct on-axis measurements by use of an acoustic lens or phase plug over the dome. Creates that huge spray...

Of course he left out vertical polars. I bet they aint pretty, and responsible for the dips.

Yeah is this going to be a Kit for sale? I guess it qualifies as DIY, but yeah, dealers section. Looks good though! What kind of bass extension does that woofer get in that cabinet? What's system sensitivity?

I know little of the subject, but I thought for a true current drive amplifier to work, the connected impedance had to be ruler flat, or the output of the amplifier be specifically designed to drive one speaker or driver only? Making current drive amplifiers kind of practically useless in the...

I tend to agree with you. The amplifier with a cost saving undersized power supply will reach the same "peak" as the amplifier with the larger power supply due to both the designs slamming into the voltage rails (the power limit of the design topology), the amplifier with the larger power supply...

Comtrue USB driver?

Max power at 20hz shows 153w? you have 108w written?

Yup, same

Was the output impedance of this models preouts mentioned/measured anywhere?

Nice Troll thread John :cool: People need to stop talking about Watts (the REAL power we pay for) and start talking about VA (the Apparent Power which is work the poor power station actually does). So many amplifiers have power factors of 0.5-0.7. They may only be consuming 100W, but they are...

Price wasn't part of the equation. Purely comparing speakers.

Not bad. But not SOTA either. The 4-5khz peak is textbook edge diffraction. Nasty on axis only. It's a big aesthetic tradeoff. Look at the M105/M106's from revel and the peaks are also there, amongst many many other box, hard-edged front-baffled speakers.

Interesting list. People say certain DACs are legendary, but if they were, you'd still be able to buy them new today. The AD1856, perhaps therefore truly legendary? Or does it have a use in some medical machines that are being made serviced in 3rd world countries or something?
