With so many great speaker manufactures out there, it's easy to pass on Tektons in the future. We don't need that kind of behavior in the audio industry.
Sadly I'm not going to AXPONA this year. I hope many in this group walk right past Tekton's booth/room and boycott their products... Did we ever get a GoFundme page setup for Erin? (Sorry if I missed it in the chat)
Technically, manufactures measure speakers at 1w/1meter to get 87db. with frequency range at +/- 3db. If your only listening at 60db (conversation volume) They can go quite lower with less then 1 watt. (first watt is the most important) They spec 65hz at -6db and probably roll off around 50hz in...

I used to design high end AV system as a professional for over a decade. I’m an IT director now, but still have an studio audio engineer on my team and stay current. I love your ideas for this room. I agree in regards to where to spend money first if this project is music centric (E.g...
I was in the same boat trying to piece meal a system together with Chinese topping preamp, DAC, bluetooth, power amp, bass management, eq… I wanted various ways to stream from phone, computer and play CDs. After I ended up totaling it all out I figured my budget allowed for a really nice...
