No I haven't heard the Tektons though I know they have a small but loyal following. From a physics perspective, their Pendragon speakers look like a hot mess. That said, I've heard a number of speakers that didn't measure well and shouldn't sound good but actually did, so I will keep an open...

Looks like an acceptable fix for those that already like the speakers and don't want the hassle of shipping their products back. Thx for sharing. How do you like the sound after you did this? Admittedly I never actually did a listening test with this fix as I just assumed to do a review of the...

Man you've got some camera skills. You're Hired!

Beautiful termination. Much neater than what I did to test this theory ;)

Well my review units definitely have a HPF but no LPF from what I can tell. I'd hope the mid is in its own enclosure and well damped. Stuffing the actual box is another story and simple thin sheets of dacron don't cut it. Hopefully they can look into this with the redesign if necessary. As...

The X7 is the latest flagship DAP of growing Chinese audio company Fiio. The DAP is the first android-based device of the company with an incredible array of features including a patent-pending exchangeable headphone amp module. Also featured is a 3.97 inch multitouch screen complete with Fiio’s...

I once spoke to an Acura engineer about this and he claimed it was deliberate by design in all of their vehicles. They claim its a safety feature to avoid rollover. My answer was it may prevent a rollover for someone attempting to turn too sharply at high speed but it will likely cause more...

Agreed these speakers have enormous potential. I'm not sure all of the problematic speakers have the same crossover mistakes but mine had a few of things that needs attention like lowering the mid HPF and putting a LPF on it and fixing the phase issue.

Last I spoke with Fluance they are recalling all review units and also consulting with one of our contributors who is also a professional loudspeaker engineer/designer to help resolve their XOVER issue. If you're a current owner and finding the midrange unsatisfactory, I'd suggest letting...

When you have that kind of power, fighting skills are irrelevant. Don't forget, he can move the moon :)

Want to know which turntable to buy? With the current resurgence of vine-yule records, turntables are again a hot item. And while most of the turntables floating around out there are survivors that were manufactured years ago, there are plenty of new ones in all price ranges from a few hundred...

I am somewhat excited as long as they don't spend the last 45min of the movie throwing each other through buildings like the last Superman, Avengers, Transformers, fill in CGI based action flick, have been doing over the last few years....

If you're running the bass section to the sub channel and the top MT section as the main channels then YES! In other words you are biamping and running the bass sections as powered subs. Very cool.

Yes you got it and sorry if I'm bad at explaining it. A diagram would help but you got it now so I won't show off my feeble photoshop drawing skills :)

Don't get too hung up on phase coherent crossover jargon. A speaker that is "phase coherent" typically must employ a 1st order filter network which has disadvantages in poor vertical off-axis response and power handling. I'd much rather see a proper 2nd order network in place and/or a...

Yes remove the jumpers from the speakers. Hook your amp to the bottom terminals normal phase. The reverse the phase using a pair of wires as jumpers to connect the top set of terminals.

John; Not sure as I didn't try to remove the rings around the drivers nor did I take out the terminal cup in the back. Once I found this measurement problem I stopped my investigation. It's possible that the review units are from a different batch than yours and only our samples were affected...

Agreed about SG. Man I'm so bummed out about Arrow/Flash. I watched all 3 seasons of Arrow and season 1 of Flash on Netflix and now I have to wait till summer till the latest seasons get uploaded. I don't want to watch mid season of either series on FIOS so I'm left with a cliff hanger for...
