| Tekton Double Impact phase issues? @hornguys Are you talking about the distance between drivers in a single speaker, or that the L and R speakers are too far apart? Best,E | |
| Tekton Double Impact phase issues? By the way, the easiest way to put these issues to bed is to show polar plots of frequency response. A good speaker will have a smooth roll-off off axis. A great speaker will have level drops off axis, but maintain the same frequency response. Best,E | |
| Most important feature in desktop DAC/Amp : Mixer Hi Aux! I purchased an NAD D 3020, and it's great driving my own desktop monitors, but no, there is no mixing function at all. I was mostly just whining. Best,E | |
| Tekton Double Impact phase issues? @stfoth Me too, but judicious toe-in should solve this issue for you. :) Best,E | |
| Tekton Double Impact phase issues? @mr_m Exactly! It's quite easy to hear this problem. I'm curious though, which speakers DID show this issue for you? This reminds me of the old Polk with their cross-feed drivers. Best,E | |
| Tekton Double Impact phase issues? I know you are a 1 seat kind of guy, but we all move around a little. Some of the worst speakers for this are Sanders’s flat ESL designs. No comb filtering issues, since it is a single panel, but the sweet spot is a 1mm cube. Your neck and shoulde... | |
| Tekton Double Impact phase issues? Hi @stfoth,Yep. Unless the designer is a huge moron. Best,E | |
| Tekton Double Impact phase issues? Hi Trytone,OMG, the BS lobbed at Tekton speakers by arm chair speaker designers has been incessant, and mostly wrong. Comb filtering / phase issues are incredibly easy to detect. Just move. Move around and listen for a consistent stereo image as y... | |
| Buy raw Audio Note ISIS cable and terminate myself? I would get the solid core silver IC's from PartsConnexion. A little brittle, but I haven't heard an IC better. Put together with Eichman silver bulletsBest,E | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering @mofojo,If that was directed at me I don't see the dots you are trying to connect. I've always (starting months ago) said they were interesting and I would probably recommend listening to them based on design and measurements. I've also said that ... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering I did say reviews showed Tekton’s were off on sensitivity. I never said they were bad. The SB Acoustics ring radiators are highly regarded, and not really that budget, especially 7 at a time! Also, I find the design pretty interesting. It is a nea... | |
| Theta Casa Nova vs Audio Prism Mantissa Also, the Casa Nova DAC is very nice, especially at 96kHz/24 bits. With redbook it isn't as good as modern DAC's are, but absolutely enjoyable to listen to.Best,E | |
| Theta Casa Nova vs Audio Prism Mantissa I had the Casanova, loved it. Among it's best features was the incredibly flexible sub-woofer integration. If you are remotely interested in ever going that route, get the Casanova. However, the manual may drive you nuts. Best,E | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering kdude66Technically that would be induction, not deduction. Best,E | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering Without getting into the original arguments about comb filtering, this measurement of the Enzo XL from Stereophile implies Tekton is not above optimistically rating the sensitivity. JA measured 90 dB vs. specified 96. https://www.stereophile.com/c... |
