TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS


I ove this speakers , on my set up they sound really very dynamic and easy to listen. Is there anyway to replace their tweeters to improve them? I do love the design of the impact.Thanks

It’s just frustrating to see exchanges that prospective purchasers might find incredibly informative - the ‘I’ in FYI - find their way to the cutting room floor.
Perhaps there are reasons of which I’m not aware.


i agree with this... it is unfortunate, there was much useful information about tekton speakers in that post, of course intermingled amongst humor and other stuff, not the least of which were posts from the brand owner himself, who revealed his stripes and demeanor to a good degree, all informative to those who may be interested in his brand

there have been many many threads that have been removed over time, when i have searched for useful info on a brand/product that comes up on a broader search (search yields a thread, click it, says thread was removed), so the mods removing threads is hardly a new thing, been going on for a long long time, as one would expect

as to why, who knows... it is their forum, they have the right to do as they see fit, they act in their interest at the end of the day, hard to fault, this is not a public utility... we are here at their pleasure

other boards can 'lock' threads so that folks can still see the past exchange, but cannot poster any more comments, that would have been useful here
Onhwy61, this Speakers impact monitors can only handle 125 w I think. Iam using 150w mono blocks with Krell preamp , And Marantz sa10, this set up powered my Andra no sweat. My suspicions the tweeters blow up when Iam playing sacd suite espagnola by Fruhbeck de Burgos, playing Asturias , I push the volume a bit more, I underestimated the power of my Tsakadiris monos and overestimated the impact cabality.
Missioncoonery , Iam with you , no threatening needs to remove the post , just report it.Audiogon is very clear on this.
No need to defend MC or EA, they seem to be very good at it on their own. For better or worse.

The way it was explained to me is that any amp can be pushed to clip, or into distortion. No matter how powerful the amp, or the capacity the speakers. Many variables to the music, current coming from the amps and a drivers resistance interact. My boss once demonstrated to me. Using an unboxed driver with an oscilloscope in the mix he showed me how when you push an amp to clip or distort the normally smooth up and down wave of whatever frequency is coming through turns to square wave. Essentially the voice coil goes from a up and down piston movement to a side to side or round and round. in turn the voice coil of the driver begins hitting the sides of the magnet structure and will short and sever the VC. He made a good living repairing drivers of all kinds, Foam surrounds that rotted, ripped cones, blown voice coils etc... Massive pro drivers from EV, Renkis Heins, JBL etc.. As well as for home audio. 
For me, and again this is for me, (as I don't care to get any scalding from folks), i live by nothing above 12 o:clock on my volume.
For what its worth.
Cheers
