Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering


Like many of you, I have been pondering purchasing these speakers but am very curious about the unusual tweeter array. I asked the smartest speaker person that I know (he is a student of Sean Olive) about the design and below is what he had to say.   

"In theory it could work, but the driver spacing means that the crossover point would need to be very low.
He is using the SB acoustics tweeter which is 72mm in diameter, center to center on the outside opposing drivers is around 5.7 inches, which is about 2400Hz. This means that combing would stop between 1/4 to 1/2 of the wavelength (between 1200-600Hz) is where the outside tweeters should start playing nice with each other.
Since he is not using low enough crossover points he has created a comb filtering monster. Now while it's not the great point source that was promised, it's no worse than most line arrays and the combing will average itself out given enough listening distance.

The MTM spacing on the other hand is ridiculous. Hopefully he is cutting the top end off on one of those midrange drivers to avoid combing."

I have but the 2 different speakers are like comparing apples to oranges when it comes to all that technical stuff.

I'm a open minded kind of guy and I'm being serious and I do my best to respect other people's opinions for the overall learning experience but I honestly don't see anything in common between the 2 completely different speakers other than that each have quite a few more drivers.

Kenny.
You have?  It doesn't sound like you have looked for how many patents the Bose 901 has.   I'm not saying there is or is not a single thing in common between the two speakers. 

I'm wondering how many patents the 901 had.
Kenny, not sure why you brought up the Ulf speaker or how many patents it may have.  

Mofojo, are you all done with your puking?  Hope you're feeling better.

And I'm really curious how many investors Tekton has.  Are they pushing The owner to sell, sell sell!?  And what activities are they partaking of to pump up sales themselves?  Enquiring minds want to know!
