Tekton Double Impacts

lol Eric, the 10 inch driver is but one small change in the list of many as you know. How do you know which woofers I had? These have also changed over the months as you know. The biggest improvements, yes improvements, came from wire and crossover parts upgrades. Most notable are improvements gained by replacing key position electrolytic caps with quality film caps. The list goes on from there. All these combined upgrades did in fact improve the sound of the speaker in key areas such as resolution, imaging, tonalily, refinement and everything else one would expect from better XO parts.

I did not improve your design, I simply improved the execution through much better quality parts, spacing the inductors further apart (they are too close together in the small cab space) , better wire, damping etc..,

These are things you would do if these sold for $6000. Wait, you do some of this in the SE.

@greg22lz,
It’s all good.

@mac48025,
I agree. And please share your experience with the SE’s when you receive them.

If this is right, essentially, the speakers would be corner loaded.  In such a setup I believe that you preferred a class D amp over a tube amp.

I do realize tube amps are less forgiving and much more particular in their set-up requirements. That said, members with better environments have sold-off all of their tube equipment after purchasing a class D amp. I can also assure you, the difference in the sound was significant enough where I sincerely believe, even with a perfect room, and all the stars aligned for the tube amp, I would have still chosen the class D. It sounded better with no correction. And if your point is that the class D controls the transducers better than a tube amp, which allows it more flexibility, then my point is made.  

Grannyring,

It's all good. Know I respect your thoughts/opinions. Your boards look fantastic too.

Eric I wish I had your knowledge and skills as I greatly respect you as a designer. By the way that LOL statement in my last post was an error. I use voice activation on my phone not sure where that came from. Just wanted you to know that as I don’t want to disrespect you.

I like the fact that you come on here and discuss things with us openly. I like your attitude and open spirit. I enjoy your speakers. They are your speakers and all I am is some DIY Hobbyist that shares the same passion as you. Thank you for the kind words regarding my boards as that really means something to me coming from you.
