Tekton Enzo - The most inexpensive speakers that is in the league with high-end speaker

[rocky500]

I think I botched the post. I can not add or delete any attachments. I have used up my 10 attachments and cant seem to delete them.
I also posted the left and right speaker, so not a good comparison.
I will try and delete that post and try again.

2nd effort with 1/12 octave smoothing

I just took some measurements and they look pretty similar to me. Lots of squiggly lines.
Taken from the seating position (3.3m) away.

Worked out I have to use ASIO in the settings, High latency. Sometimes close and restart REW to get it working again.
This is my left speaker that is closest to a the corner of the room.
I left the mike in the exact same place and just changed over the amps.

My room has been said to sound a little dead and more bass compared to others.

Told you guys it makes a difference.. (not you rocky ) What class-D amp did you pick up? very curious.

I believe there is a noticable sound difference in certain types of amps, but I haven't heard a sound difference in two amps of the same type... In other words, if you compare a $2000 class d to a $500 class D of the same power they will most likely be too similar to distinguish a audible difference, and the same goes for a class t vs a class t to or a/b vs a/b....

He's not always right.

Not everyone can be like me Adam.
He does have an amazing system though. He also takes real pictures of his system.

And real pictures of my old machinery also. I'm still waiting for pictures and details of this hundred year old generator!

Sorry to ask you to do more work but do you mind going to "All SPL" and selecting the measurements for the two amps so that they're overlayed on the same graph? Makes it a lot easier to compare.

I think I have used up my 10 attachments again. If I delete them, do they disappear from my posts?

I found on my computer screen using a tabbed browser, if I open each pic in my post to a new window and then click the tab on one then the next, I can see the changes. Very very slight. A lot less than I was expecting.

ADDED: Just checked my attachments on this forum and I only have 6 but I have used up my limit, which is 1MB, as I could not attach my next pic.

wow.. why did Part Time Audiophille list the price for the Pendragons SEAS now and not before... I thoght the P-SEAS were $4,000 this whole time. And as you guys know, I was looking for 2.0 from the start.. but changed my mind numerous times because the Pendragons were too big for my room and I needed a speaker that hits 20hz..Pendragons SEAS were over my budget considering this doofus poster on audiogon saying he paid $4,000 for it now to find out that Pendragons SEAS are only $2,500/hits 20hz/and 40% smaller than the Pendragons..

Today I came upon the new Marantz PM6005 2.0 integrated amplifier that is dedicated and made specifically to bi-wire spaekers..


Considering its only about $55.00 for bi-wire posts (custom) for Tekton Pendragon SEAS, i might have to just go this route..

AudiogoN Forums: Review of Tekton Pendragon-Se Loudspeaker


Hello to all I finally have over 150 hours logged on these new Tekton Pendragon-SE about the 120 hr mark with low SPL we decided to open up the volume These -SEs are now starting to open up.
I listened for detecting the crossover points hearing port noise, as we'll aberrations in the voicing-None
Sonicly these loudspeakers are a Revelation - Exceptionally well deigned and voiced. Eric hit this one out of the park my compliments. My brother and 2 friends who are casual listeners were totally draw in .
From Oldies Xmas soungs to Many rock and roll cuts all flac files on my HD. I also need to mention
The speakers are a Fantastic combination of real Earthy natural presentation
Warm in a Very natural perspective .listening to Ottmar Liebert on guitar you can here the reverb from the body if the guitar and feel the fingers sliding off the guitar strings. My brother mentioned listening to ELP
Lucky man album take pebble which was in a cave the drops of water you can clearly hear, with the echo
From the splash as the drop hits the water is better then we have heard Ever.and the drivers still have several days more to runin, the capacitors still have a solid week to fully runin.
A match made in Heaven. How could I not help to promote thesewith this much coherent in music and dynamics , Excellent front to back layering and a Huge cavernous soundstage .what started as a 6 song audition turned into a 4 hour music request.
I will say without reservation my brothers Big Pass Labs amplifier was an incredible match with
The Pendragon -SE ,one More thing the Bass at 120 hours is taught fast and and as tight as a new pair of jeans ! I have had many loudspeakers much more expensive .I can say without reservation the musicality and cohesiveness
Have no competition even at 2 times he money's. take a Maggie 3.7 give it more dynamics, and solid Bass
And it Would be close. The Tekton Pendragon SE is a rare breed and from mine and several observers
An exceptional value even against loudspeakers costing more the double there're price..
Tektons owner and designer Eric Alexander has hit this Pendragon -SE out of the park HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !! P.s if any one is in or coming to the Massachustts area message me for a listen.

Much thanks, greatly appreciated.

The above guy is a total dumbass for getting the Mondorf SIO cap upgrade. Dont get that crap, in the beggining it sounds extremely good, but within a year you get sick of the sound real fast and has been reported by the crossover freaks.

Thanks for the measurements rocky!

Did anyone see the measurements? How is it looking?

The measurements are for me to try and get my room better. It currently is a work room with long benches down one side. The speakers are not in the center of the wall.
I have a few small tables near one speaker.
I was planning to try some pictures on the walls with rockwool inside at the reflection points. I also picked up 4 blackhole bass traps a while ago that I want to try.
http://www.audiotechnology.com.au/wp/index.php/blak-holl-bass-trap/
At least now I can take measurements before and after the changes to see what difference any of it makes.
The room on the long walls is exposed brick on one side and wood paneling on the other. 8m x 5m with a tin roof that I can reach up and touch.

Also means I may be hearing a difference in the amps that is not there but I did have a sub setup crossed over to 80Hz with one amp and then just the speakers with the other amp.
More listening to do.

The same could be said about bi-wiring. Some think it's necessary, others think it's a pointless waste of time.

If rocky weren't providing useful discussion this would be met with a wide array of cheese related tips. Please at least make up your mind if you insist upon posting more of this crap.
