Tekton Double Impact phase issues?

I'm amazed at how "phase issues" and "comb filtering" have dominated the discussions about these speakers with few actually understanding what it means, or how you would measure it.

The proof of the design is in plots of the on vs. off axis response. Stereophile does these routinely in the vertical and horizontal axis. This is an incredibly easy problem to hear and measure and therefore prove whether the Tekton's are any better or worse than other speakers.

I truly feel bad for the designer who has had to defend his designs against mostly incompletely informed critics.

Before jumping all over people for wondering and asking questions, perhaps some might want to reread the original post and remember what  this forum is for.

FTR, I don’t mean to attack the OP. I find his questions reasonable and fair. I’m now just whining about the general FUD that has been lobbed.

Sorry for the confusion.

I would imagine the  some what uniqueness of these designs would be bound to raise questions.

shadorne,

You bring up some very good and valid questions some that I personally asked Eric at Tekton about when I was looking at the double impacts and the answers I got from him have been proven to me that he was correct and not a bs artist,after I've had my pair for 4 months now and I have listened to them everyday and also I have done quite a bit of measuring as well.

I'm just a happy owner and I truly love the sound I'm getting and my knowledge of this unique design backup to me the sound I'm getting.

There is a few specs about this speaker that I would be willing to share on this thread or others,I'm not a professional reviewer by any means and It's not my place to broadcast specs and details.
I really like all of Nelson pass amps from my very first one which was the Threshold 400a to my Sit2 and F7 that I own today and I could tell you lots of detail about them but It's there again not my place.

Anyway here is a few details about specs of the Di speaker and I will let you make up your own mind.

1. All 7 tweeters are 4 ohm.
2. Center tweeter is a super tweeter playing 10k to 30k.
3. The six outer tweeters play down to 680 Hz.
4. The 2 mids play up to 2k
5. The 2 woofers are crossed at 250 Hz with a 2nd order crossover.
6. The true,in my listening room efficiency is 95.3 db with a 1 watt input at 1M distance playing the industry standard 1k frequency.

Some folks think I'm very biased or a fanboy and I'm ok with that I'm just trying to share actual real info and my opinion of any product that I either own or that I have heard.

Kenny.
