Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: It's time to review Tekton Solitude

It's hard to tell from the website how it works as a dipole. The crossover from the dipole woofers is at 340 Hz to tweeters that normally are closed back(not dipoles). So unless the tweeters are modified to open back or there are drivers on the back, it is a dipole for less than half the audible octaves.

Plus he claims 95 dB sensitivity. This needs an explanation since open baffle front to back interference causes bass to toll off significantly which is usually compensated for by massive equalization as the frequency drops. But this demands an extremely high power bass amp negating the 95 dB sensitivity claim.
