Tekton 4-10 Subwoofer

"cheap drivers"

there's a helpful comment.  I've used SOTA drivers that did not deliver the superb sound of Eric's offerings.  All the while using "cheap drivers."  I really don't give a rip if the uninformed audio community continues to bash a product they have never listened to.  But I am thankful to Tekton for offering products that far outperform the competition.  I mean, for the love of Pete, any other money grubbing corporate would have tripled the price of the Double Impact by now given it's success.  But, oh crap, it's still 3k.  The same price it originally listed for.  Just can't be any good.

The pair of 4-10s are now in place, right next to the Double Impacts.  They produce copious amounts of tight bass. My room is just over 22 ft. wide by 13.5 ft. deep with 9 ft. ceilings and I have the gain on each sub at about 15%.  It took around 3 weeks to receive from the time of order.  For some unknown reason (even though they were picked up at the same exact time by FedEx), one was delivered one afternoon and the other the next evening - I will never understand FedEx.  We live kinda out-of-town a bit though.  They essentially look like the DIs, but a bit shorter.  I think I have them crossed over at around 55 Hz and the phase is at 0 degrees.  I only have about 10 hours maybe of play time on them, but I think they are really nice sounding subs, especially for $800 each.  To me, they fill in the gap between the DIs and my HSU VTF-15H subs in the corner.  I was not planning on using the VTFs as well, but I am experimenting with setting the VTFs x-over way down near 35-37 Hz and bringing the gain slightly up from where I had it before the Tekton 4-10s were introduced into the system.  And a reminder... this is only a 2-ch system - no home theater/surround.

Great news AF32! Glad to hear of another satisfied customer (seems to be the trend here). Question: does it seem like the sub does well at 20hz (flat down to 20), or does the output seem to have dropped a few db at that frequently? I know may be hard without measurement equipment, but thought I'd ask any way

I think there is definitely a lot of output down low, but I still need more time to test & evaluate... been really busy.

So I have maybe 30 hours music on the subs now.  They are both sitting just outside the sides of the DI's and they are really great so far.  I was listening to "The Best" by Awolnation last night during a long 4+ hour music session.  There is just a wall of sound coming at me.  The bass is absolutely incredible.  I am letting the Tekton 4-10s run up to about 55Hz and the gain is at about 10% (if that).  The HSU VTF15H's in the corners are set to about 10% gain and are cutoff lower, around 35Hz.  If anyone reading is in the Phoenix area and thinking about Tekton and can get a hold of me through Audiogon somehow, I would be happy to audition.
