The caffeine has kicked in and I have remembered I can stop getting notifications by unwatching the thread and blocking the appropriate people. Goodbye. I do apologize for putting words in your mouth, that was a real misstep. I do feel like you missed the content for the formatting of my posts...

There is no dignity in what's happening here. Expectations, goals, and methods are all misaligned. Why are you picking a fight? It's over.

Lmao I literally posted how to make a speaker from scratch, advised against crossing a 6.5" to an AMT, and attempting to get a fullrange to play to 8hz. It's pretty amazing that you think you know more than Vance Dickason's 7th edition of speaker building.

Bro I dare you to look at the name of the website. I was going to ask what kind of microphone you have, but this is the deathknell of every hopeless project here. I wish you luck. You are going to need it. You need this book, not a whole forum to read it to you.

I would build the two-way, personally. It may be a little difficult, but not impossible.

I always look forward to your videos :) I think you may be interpreting my takeaways too harshly. Bass is super hard for flat drivers to accomplish without distorting, so this is all major accomplishments. Plenty of setups have that much distortion and no one complains. I bet the low pass...

Your goals also seem to include a huge subwoofer, but you haven't mentioned that part yet. I would recommend something for 100hz and below on a setup like this. It will let the drivers you have already selected play much better with each other. I also couldn't say for certain if a crossover...

It looks perfect to me from 80hz to 500hz. This is where you cross to a subwoofer anyways, no? This still means they put out substantial bass and can play lower. But it also means they can cross to a lower panel or sub and play very loud and clear, unless I don’t get something. Isn’t this a very...

I have a whole new pile of posts to read, now. See you in the Saranna thread!

These seem like really nice midbass drivers. Have you considered seeing what the off-axis looks like, especially at a corner? DI takes for granted the circular shape of most drivers.

All of my DIY speakers are white for the reasons stated above. I would only use black in a dark room, like a dedicated theater or mounted to walls or pillars. A nice veneer would suit these well, though I think the slots would be particularly difficult. With the side slots you can't even get...

I would love to see the tekton linear speaker design cookbook. Anyone else? Methods of measurement, crossover explanations, driver placement and distance. Hardware, software, literally anything. If there’s a time, it’s now.

What are your limitations? I can see the best budget option (hivi 3.1A) is too big, but have you settled on a size? A listening distance and SPL? An f3 or f10 in mind for bass output? Do you already have amps or do they need to fit into the budget? It’s pretty tough to answer without a few of...

Is the team still using the 5” ceramic SB Acoustics woofer?

What’s so funny about this takedown is that Erin’s review gave me a better impression of tekton than I wanted to give them at a glance. The compromises became clear and the tone seemed acceptable. Price notwithstanding, I was finally interested in their theories. Now they can hang.

Nice job! If you were to wrap a foam sphere around the speakers, it would look like a real lifestyle product. This might be the perfect opportunity for a pair of sealed 6-8" corner speakers. They would handle the midbass quite well as well as add some needed sub.

I was just reflecting on why adding resistance to the midrange and treble may not be particularly noticeable, and I am coming around to believing that the bottom 1khz and below matter most. This makes the woofer the most important part of a three way. Definitely giving that link a read sometime...

Not sure if you care, but I found this to be quite interesting and unexpected. Only the top two octaves play fundamentals above 1khz. The rest of the audio spectrum is typically filled with room acoustics and natural harmonics by recordings. By playing C6, you produce 1khz at the fundamental...

I only ever notice attenuation like that after an hour or more of listening. Then it matters a lot. Last week I pushed my low shelf filter all the way down to 800hz, which is exactly where your responses diverge now. It broke my brain a little realizing that’s about where my internal concept of...

I’m here for vicarious project action shots. My house is full :(
