Has anyone here had any dealings with Tekton, particularly their subwoofers
@deep_333 Thanks for the link for the rythmik F18 sub that looks like a solid possibility. A pair of those should do a decent job of energizing my theater room. Certainly gonna put those on the list. The ascendos, if you look at the specs are 15 d... 
Has anyone here had any dealings with Tekton, particularly their subwoofers
@jayctoy Hey thanks for that Jay. I have read this entire thread and considered advice given by those that were kind enough to respond to my questions. I also spent quite a bit of time on Tekton's website looking at their various models and my se...

@2psyop Your comment about me is unappreciated and inaccurate. Please resist the urge to criticize others in a direct personal way until you know them well enough that it won't be perceived as slanderous. My negative comments were based on appeara...

thank you all for your comments and ideas. And the info about Amir and Tekton's squabble. It puts things in perspective for me. You guys may have saved me a great deal of heartache and trouble.  
After 20 years, in the market for a power amp
@mclinnguy Thanks for the data point in terms of the 'high priced spread' you referenced. I appreciate the validation that the VTV punches above its weight so to speak, as while I have as much passion for great immersive listening as the next guy,... 
Ugliest Component of the Year 2024!
I’d say its a toss up between that laughable Tekton speaker pictured above and the supreme joke of Tralfamador...actually I think the real prize should go to complete system composed of Mac separates with Tektons as the main left and right with Tr...

I know there are strong opinions about class D amps and if you have a strong bias against them, I might as well shut up right now :). However if you don’t, there are a number of class D offerings featuring Hypex and Purifi modules as well as ICEpo... 
My new VTV Audio Class D amp arrived today
Update on previous post...the VTV amp arrived yesterday late so I didnt get it hooked up till today. If it holds up long term I will not regret the purchase...it sounds wonderful! I had it turned up so I was getting peaks of 105 db at about 6-8 fe... 
Best Audiophile desktop for under $2500?
instead of a mac mini, try a macbook air. Something with decent performance and portable too if needed. will run a long time on the battery which eliminates noise from the charging PS. I like mine well. :)  
Spotify or Pandora
you can download music direct to your computer if you have two machines. You need the download source streaming the music - take that feed and input it to your other computer thru recording software. Voila you are good to go.  
My new VTV Audio Class D amp arrived today
I just ordered a VTV Hypex ncore NC502 stereo amp yesterday, I am very curious as to how well their small enclosure will dissipate the heat from 2 500 watt amplifiers running at moderate levels...and then how it handles levels approaching live wit... 
Enough is Enough
You guys that have 50k to throw down for a single component are way out of my league...50k for the whole system would be the upper end for me. I just can't throw more than that at a single system.  
B&W 705s3 vs Kef Meta R3
Given the ineptitude shown by salespeople at our local BB its entirely likely the tweeters in the speakers you were auditioning were fried. I can't say of course that this is a universal problem with certainty, but I'd say the odds are likely. Loc... 
Any regrets in selling gear?
The pieces that come to mind include a pair of larger Advent speakers and the high power (for the day) Kenwood receiver that drove them. My AR turntable. My Hafler amplifier. Many of the pieces lost in the fire I have very strong regrets for their... 
Do you have a perfect digital marriage?
I have a Emotiva TA1 DAC/amp driven from my desktop via Toslink to the Dac and that is driving a pair of Ohm 2000 Walsh omnis along with a pair of PC2000 SVS subs. Very happy with the overall sound, though the Ohm's need a bit more power than the ...
