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."

Now which speakers are you referring too the double impacts or the enzo.

The title of this thread pertains to the double impact so your statements which I'm not disputing may be confusing to some readers.

Totem does not misrepresent their specs, not sure what you're talking about there, james.  That's my only point, which you can't refute.  Tekton is either flat wrong about the Enzo's sensitivity, or the quality control is badly lacking.  Either way it reflects badly on Tekton.  As does the many resonance issues with the cabinet.  Flame on, fanboy.
