| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? I find people that don’t think measurements matter just lack experience. Use REW (it is free!) and start making your own correlations. I have had/have 4 speakers that have full kipple measurements posted publicly. I find frequency response and... | |
| Sonus Faber Nove II or III The III is the sweet spot. | |
| Listening position/speaker position I owned the 228be and McIntosh 462 (picture under my profile). The only thing that matters for power is listening distance and sensitivity, Not room size. At 10’ you can’t be using more than 5-10 watts at ear bleeding volume. the 228be lacks b... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews This video from Floyd Toole is well worth a watch. | |
| Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues Just a hair over your budget at $1200 used ($5000) new. This is a local pickup only so might not work but the Revel 208 is great for rock. It is super smooth and a touch rolled off room. For what it is worth I owned the Revel 228be and Thiel 2.4 a... | |
| Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph? Iaoman, “In what way? Do these measurements tell me I will like what I hear?” Yes, they do tell you what you hear and estimate in room too. Each room is a bit different though so there is some variance which is mostly 200hz (not to mention s... | |
| Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph? The full measurements that the kipples spit out are super valuable. At $100k-ish they don’t cost much for a business to own. It is a way for smaller (compared to Harman, Kef, etc) companies to do measurements and make better speakers. It is much c... | |

| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers Deep-333 All these guys doing technical data driven reviews have very technical backgrounds. What I have gathered from watching Erin’s channel is he is a “Rocket scientist” focused on systems testing under contract (indirect probably) as he is no... | |
| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama There are a number of laws to protect the reviewer. Audioholics covers some of them in the video linked above. There is no libel, there is no case. It is just a way to bully the reviewers into taking down the reviews as no one wants to mess with c... | |
| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama Tekton also threatened to sue ASR publicly in an open forum recently for a review they did. It is a long thread and can’t be bothered to paraphrase it. What I can tell you is I will personally avoid Tekton now and forever, not because of what they... | |
| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama thecarpathian, Erin’s Audio corner has direct comments on this YouTube page community page regarding this issue. He states Tekton is questioning his test method due to not having feet on the speakers as there are holes straight through the cabine... | |
| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama Oddly the review , which I watched before it was taken down was positive. Not even sure what Tekton is complaining about. I guess he can’t handle the truth. |
