I still have an inkling that this board is getting seriously trolled. If so, it would be the finest trolling job I've ever witnessed. As I said several pages ago, I have Philharmonic, KEF, EMPTek, and Tekton speakers. Admittedly, I bought the Tektons as somewhat of an impulse buy. But I will...

Here's a link to a comparison between the Gallos and some other speakers. I'm a fan of the CL-3s and auditioned them in my home for almost two months. Definitely a nice little speaker in my view...

I ended up going with the LS50s for my work office, the EMPTeks (which were for my home office are now in my theater as rear surrounds), and the M-Lores for my home office. When in doubt, get them all.

When people refer to "flat" speakers they are referring to "flat frequency response" speakers. The term "flat" as is used in "he's a good singer, but often sounds flat" is a completely different phrase. I'm not saying that's what you meant, but "flat" speakers shouldn't sound lifeless or dull...

Here's the trusty article I always refer to when discussing resolution, smoothing and spectral averaging. The ideal would be 1/20th octave smoothing and anything less than 1/12th octave smoothing doesn't provide any real information. Audio Measurements: The Useful vs. the Bogus in Consumer...

I think you've been made aware of the delivery delays and what the community largely feels about Tekton's business issues. Additionally, you are aware that some individuals believe that the design of the speakers may be flawed. Lastly, several owners have articulated their satisfaction with...

There is a not insignificant price difference between the Phil 2 and M Lore, approximately $3,000 vs $650, respectively. So I never anticipated that the M Lore would perform the same as the Phils. In addition, I chose the M Lore as opposed to the larger Lore because it uses a smaller driver...

I hear you, and I don't think you've bashed Tekton at all, but I think the difference in the terms "design flaw" and "design trade off" are not simply a matter of semantics. If I'm developing a telescope that has standard magnification at 10x, 20x and 30x, but my clients only care about...

Isn't Dennis really saying that with those design trade offs it's still possible for the Tektons to sound good and that he would withhold judgment until he could measure them/hear them? If a speaker designer is not trying to create super accurate speakers and anticipates or intends for the...

The CNET review was by Steve Guttenberg, who, as others have said, has rarely met a speaker he doesn't like. His review, however, does not appear to be subject to any sort of financial bias or conflict of interest. I used to be somewhat interested in his reviews until I read his review of...

Of course. I'll catch up to you before long.

I have no grudge against Eric nor have I been an ardent basher of him or Tekton on AVS, here or any other forum. I was apprehensive of posting that he failed to drill holes in my speakers and only provided that as a side note to Tektons somewhat problematic wait times. So discount my posts as...

Assuming we're not getting trolled. Please don't buy speakers based on how they sound on YouTube. I never thought I would actually have to type that out. I have a pair of Philharmonic, KEF, EMPTek, and Tekton (M Lores), and while I like the sound of the Tektons they do not strike me as being...

We are trying to have GTG in or around Denver so those in the Rocky Mountains can get a taste of the various high end and ID audiophile speakers that we forum users have. Please feel free to indicate below whether you would be willing to participate and what type of speakers you would be...

You should be able to get some KEF LS50s new for $1200. I got mine brand new for $1,100. Great speaker.

Not sure if they would have to be higher quality tweeters than Axiom uses; they simply need to be able to be crossed over low enough to prevent the 10" woofer/transducer from operating outside of its optimal range. That's assuming the three tweeters are crossed over to handle different frequency...

Watch out for that midrange mushroom cloud.

So Ascend doesn't keep a Sierra Tower with RAAL prototype on site? The only way to listen to one on their premises is by listening to stock that has been ordered and completed but not yet shipped? If the RAAL is known to sound slightly better than the dome, why not audition it with the dome to...

People labor somewhat over their purchasing decision before acquiring big purchases (speakers, electronics, cars, etc.). The higher the price (relative to the consumer's purchasing power), the more likely the buyer is to develop a sense of attachment to the product. Why do people seek out...
