Tekton versus Klipsch

Apparently Fritz speakers utilize a series crossover as opposed to the more common parallel crossover design. It’s my understanding that series crossovers are generally simpler circuits and require fewer parts. This could be responsible for an easier speaker impedance curve and thus more compatible with lower power tube amplifiers. L

Based on testimony from others on this thread this might explain the reported good sounding results with tube amplifiers of modest power. So most likely complex crossovers probably siphon off more amplifier power.

mapman and charles1dad,

Thanks for the comments. Probably makes sense to call Fritz. Based on the extensive number of parts in my Thiel crossovers and their hard load, I expect the series crossover approach makes a lot of sense.

Ozzy62....Yea your right as the all knowing Oz has spoken,

Oh I'm not the only one who sees it for what it is. And we will give your grammar a pass this time...........

Thanks for rhe pass.Must be tough to be right all the time...and a tool

Hi @dsper,
The Fritz crossover is absent capacitor and resistors to the tweeter driver so probably very minimalist compare to the Thiel speaker crossover layout. No doubt that the builder can provide additional detail beyond my limited comments. People report Fritz speakers pairing well with Dennis Had 10 watt SEP amplifiers in addition to  300b SETs.
