$2000 Tektons, which one for my use?

millercarbon,

I  think I read some where that you asked Eric if he change the 4 ohm Moab's to 8ohm?
I'm going to ask him a similar question. Can you change a 8ohm speaker to a 4ohm?

atemoya,

I normally would never tell anyone to sell or get rid of their sub, but I’ve owned the

SVS 25-31PC (circular sub)
SVS 20-39PC (circular sub)
SVS 16-46PC (circular sub)

And they all had cuffing. Especially the SVS 25-31PC, more so than the others.

I have since moved on to Power Sound Audio subs. But I want to make this clear. I want (Tekton) a pair of speakers that do not, I repeat, do not need to add an outboard subwoofer. I’m hoping maybe the Perfect Set with 12" woofers will get the job done.

As the Perfect Set should musically play the entire Linear 30Hz-30kHz frequency response. That is what I want to listen to for awhile.

And maybe later, blend in my subs.

P.S. you picked a very unusual looking and very vanilla sweet fruit, for your moniker name here on agon. The first time I ate the fruit was in Brazil, in the middle of the Copacabana retail and restaurant district trying to find a place to eat, and along comes the fruit man with a large cart.

I bought every fruit I could from him that I didn’t know what it was and he let me try each one before I bought it.

Até logo!

Guru implies some stab at being magical… How his bio reads somewhat as a more classical education with respect to engineering.

Andrew studied physics and acoustics in university, plus quantum mechanics and other subjects that were perhaps not fully relevant to speaker design.

I think I read some where that you asked Eric if he change the 4 ohm Moab's to 8ohm?

Yes and I had mine made the standard 4 ohm because it sounds better. Mine are run now with a 20wpc Raven Blackhawk, play 106dB at the sweet spot in my large room, and with clarity precision and detail that must be heard to be believed. I would never even think of going 8 ohm.

That's a different question. Because the first one was about Moab, but this time its about "a speaker". The total impedance of a speaker is in part the impedance of each driver, but also in the way the drivers are connected, in series or in parallel. So the answer could be yes, could be no. Or it could be yes but only with different drivers. It all depends on the particular speaker.

• Is that dB(A) or dB(C)?
  
• Is it peak or slow SPL?
  

It seems like a lot of SPL for 20 wpc
