An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers


128x128philbarone
No. I briefly owned the Pendragons a few years ago. Not the same caliber as the Moabs from what I understand.


I have to agree, not the best idea to pan a product on the site you are trying to sell them on. 
...a wall of sound yes , a giant Bose 901...
Is that what they call damning with faint praise?

All the best,

Actually it’s what we call misinformed. And that’s being nice. The "wall of sound" was a technique of Phil Spector who liked to create a sound stage wide and flat and in your face. As such it is a recording technique not a speaker characteristic. Speakers cannot create a wall of sound, they can only recreate the wall of sound if present on the recording. Bose used 9 drivers in a configuration designed to create wide diffuse sound, the opposite of a wall of sound. The drivers are midrange not tweeters. Eight of them fire at the wall, not towards the listener. As such the Bose 901 is totally incapable of creating a wall of sound, even if one is there on the recording.

So as you can see this is not at all damning with faint praise. 

I think that pretty well does it for tearing that one apart.
