Tekton Brisance

Hi audiogon,
The Tekton Brisance seems too good to be true coming with 18"woofer and two harmonic transducers with a DSP controlled 2500 watt included (probable class D) amp at $2,000. Any y'all hear this sub in person? I have a pair of Moabs on order and am thinking of getting a sub to fully flesh out abilities with electronica music.

Probably awesome. Equally probably still be better with several rather than just one. Search DBA. 

My Moabs should be built next week. So very soon will know just how good they are, with and without my DBA. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367

20 hz to 350 hz. Has a pair of MB couplers? That is a lot of room to blend a bass bin.. Use to be hard to find one that would go that high.

Those numbers (20-350) were used to blend Soundlab or Quads.
speakers. Usually a 12", can go as high as 800 hz or so before they really start ringing. Looks like 6.5 or something? Probably go even higher.

Looks like it has separate tuning ports for them also... Sure a honker on top.. Facing forward, though, I don’t understand. Back, down, side or up, but not forward... I guess you could get it to work better, closer to a wall?

Regards

Millercarbon,
What is a DBA? Digital equalization? I do use the equalizer in iTunes with good results. I would not have a subwoofer without DSP now that I have gotten used to my Velodyne DD10 (now broken), it really evens out the bass in the room. I ran my main speakers through the 80hz filter and let the 10" servo controlled, acoustic suspension, 1250W handle the low frequencies. It seems as though going up to 350hz would allow localization of the sub, causing soundstage balance issues (unless I got two subs, but two 18" subs with 5,000W of power just seems out of bounds for an 11x16' room, lol.
