Tekton Double Impact phase issues?


Showed a photo of the DI's to one of Agon's most respected members and one of the things he said stuck with me. This member had a feeling that there might be phase issues. I am too new to the hobby to be sure what this might be or how such an issue may sound. Am hoping to travel to Houston for an audition at the dealership and want to make sure I know what to listen for in this matter. Are their particular recordings to use that may be able to test this possible phase problem? Many thanks.

Oh, yeah, I could imagine. They like to use vertical AND horizontal arrays. It's a shame though, they seemed to take a lot of care to control dispersion and timing. Sucks to know they had issues like that.

Best,

trytone,
I can't really add anything that Eric didn't already address,
Hopefully you can listen to some Teton speakers and decide for yourself.


Best of luck to you,
Kenny.

The only pair of speakers that made my neck hurt when listening and owned for the record shortest period of time were Magnepan MMGs. My hardwood floor is covered with tiny holes from the spikes just because I had to move the damn things around so much to get the right placement. Bless their soul folks who love these puppies.
@trytone  - Who is the dealer for Tekton in Houston? Well, I know Dave at Raven Audio a bit outside of Houston, proper, otherwise I wouldn't have a clue.

Are the Liszt speakers in Houston, too? If so, I've heard those. heh. They wouldn't hold a candle to the DIs. Just saying.

I've heard two pair of DIs in the Houston area and nope, no phase issues at all. Oddly enough, at Raven Audio the speakers were about 5ft apart, and at a buddy's house they were about 12ft apart. There was nothing but solid center no matter where I placed my head. I just sat there and enjoyed. and I know phase problems, because I have a friend with some Eggleston speakers that have phase issues out the wazoo!
