Hi guys, I only tried my Odyssey Extreme SE monoblocks. These are warm to neutral I think campared to other amps I've owned. I have an Emerald Physics EP 100.2 SE that I use for the mids and tweeter of the 4.7, those have more sparkle in the top end that works good for 4.7.
I did some quick measurements of the Tektons with REW and from close up (about 3 feet) they measure very well from 200 to 20,000hz Within 2.5db. 20 to 200hz there are s some peaks and valleys which is expected. The biggest peak is about 6db at 85hz. Measuring from listening positions things don't measure as well and small changes in mic positions change the response in the upper region quite a bit which is true for all speakers I would think. I can find a mostly flat region at the listening position. Move the mic less than a foot and the highs slop down some. Though it's not a big change in the sound quality. The 85hz peak is up to 15db out in the room so is probably the bass anomaly I hear. Rooms change bass response quite a bit.
I have a pair of DIY 15" Dayton Ultimax subs for HT and to handle the bass below 40hz. I didn't cross over the Tektons yet, just ran them full range with subs filling the bottom octave. I wanted more time on the speakers before I get too wrapped up in messing with sub settings and eq for the bass peak. Plus I would need to use a mini DSP unit, I wanted to hear the speakers first without any kind of digital crossover and correction.
Also my left ear is sensitive to certain high frequencies (slight tinnitus) so the speakers are probably not the problem and the Emerald Pysics may well be a little rolled of at the frequencies that irritate my tinnitus.
