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.

prof,

"Is there any speaker company pumping out as many models as Tekton?
Dunno if that's a good or a bad sign."

I would say it is a marketing sign. Once the manufacturer finds a winning model with, like the Lore that has been around for awhile, then why change it, like Harley Davidson and their styling of the bikes.  However, to capture new market, produce new models.  Does not mean the older models are obsolete. Eric probably just waits until there is a build up of orders for a certain model then produces them all at once.  Economy of scale comes to mind. I have never heard a Tekton model, but anxiously await my charcoal grey Moabs! :) 

I chalk it up to the typical audiophile and his inability to understand anything, especially anything not being mindlessly repeated ad nauseum by other audiophiles.


Millercarbon, do you ever get tired of being "holier-than-thou"?

It must be quite a daily weight to bear,  being so much better than the "average audiophile" and still having to interact with them.



DBA has been around a LONG time. We just didn't have cool running high horsepower class d amps. I had 4 bass bins and two Horn bins in the early 70s, All the boxes were ran on 30-40 watts amps, Macs..
Used them at school dances from time to time..2 MC240 and a pair of 30
220-240 watts. The place was rockin... oh yea..

The last 10 years, BASS amps have really became reasonable, with ALL the DSP goodies. 

4 12K Behringers NEW, and a 2496, will do two square blocks of BOOB BOOB under 2500.00 that's a lot of watts, and a lot of control.

8 3000s,16 1500 watters, PA, or HiFi. !40-50 DB....
You could double it again 32, 15" 1000 watt drivers..

Lets talk low dollar low distortion, cool running.. BASS...
Gatling gun BASS... Yup that's what I call it...Old hat...Old news

BUT Columns.... that's something the Greek, and Roman could agree on.
I guess Irish too (ME)... I'm gonna contact the guy, on baffles and who make the darn drivers... I bet I won't be surprised. Good wire inside goes a long ways too...I wonder what is being used?

Regards


Yea prof,im with you..this tekton fanboy trys constantly to shove it down our throats...makes me wonder if he's a paid Tekton  employee which others have questioned
