| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Right now, from my BAT preamp, which has 4 outputs, 2 per channel: * XLR out go to the purifi/Buckeye amps * component/RCA out goes to the HSU subs, and enabled their onboard x-over to allow only below 30-35 hz to the sub. I like my system now,... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions oh, about: "Did you notice any loss of planar type sound with fewer tweeters on the half Ulfbehrts?" Can't say, I've never heard the full Ulfbehtrs (or Moab or Encore) or anything with the 7+1+7 setup. The monitors have the 6+1 ring, and I love ... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @jayctoy Thank you. My Impact Monitors were flat black (including the Center channel I kept) but the gloss gray on these towers is nicer. @brotw 1) room correction. Yes, I ran REW pre and post the room treatments you see pictured. My room is ... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @brotw I bought the Impact monitors (3 of them for L/C/R) and loved them... best midrange I’ve ever heard in my house (In this house I’ve had MartinLogan, Maggie 2.6, B&W’s) I placed the L+R on top of my 15" HSU sealed subs... as shown here:... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? @panzrwagn right, I'm not saying it was apples to apples with the OP's question, but impressive a/b considering they likely weren't using zip-wire from Bestbuy before the swap. When my system was more basic (Parasound pushing B&W 6xx, or QS... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? @panzrwagn this video reports that this mastering studio gained 10dB of SnR with a wholesale (pre/post) swap of Shunyata products First time I've seen a measurable figure shown... | |
| ISO - grit, texture, decay, life from snares and bass drums your listed front runners appear to be stand mount speakers, yet you have pricing approaching $3k. have you considered https://tektondesign.com/product/full-range-speakers/full-towers/double-impact/ ? * amazing midrange * nearly 99dB sensiti... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I used to be 'against it', then when building folded horn subs 15-20 years ago, became reliant on EQ for LP and correction. Now, I have a pair of much smaller sealed HSU ULS15's and still use EQ in a narrow way (pun intended)... Even after treat... | |
| Who is excited about Capital Audiofest 2023? I went today... Caladans: wasn’t my music choice, sounded a bit thin lacked lower end gravitas.. but nice and tight, fast, and great tone in the mids and decent highs. a lot of speaker for the price Easiest to listen to: NSMT (monitors+bandpas... | |

| Rules of Thumb when spending on speakers and amps There’s a chance the traditional price ratio equation is being up ended now with class D …. Combined with direct to consumer sales model. I listen to a wide variety of music, and my speakers are quite efficient - so my recommendation for somethin... | |
| Who is excited about Capital Audiofest 2023? I Purchased the BACCH4Mac earlier this week, not the universal, but the one step up so that I can use the optional in ear mics… 3-4 week lead time. I plan on visiting booth 549. The rest of my system is solid, and I’m very happy with the sou... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? Boomieness happens when someone hasn’t run REW on their system and confirmed the (size/dimension driven) room modes - and corrected for them. The reason big speakers appear to produce them, when smaller, speakers don’t in the same room- is it a s... |
