Tekon Design Full-Range Open Baffle
« on: 29 Sep 2008, 04:18 pm »
Hello...I'm new here, but I've relied on the information at this site for a while now.

I came across these the other day...I'm thinking about purchasing a pair of them...

http://cgi.ebay.com/Tekton-Design-Fostex-4-5-Full-Range-Open-Baffle_W0QQitemZ260292488279QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item260292488279&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

I've tried to wrap my brain around how these work for a day now, and the more I think about it, the more it makes sense.

Has anybody purchased these or can anybody give me an idea about them?

Thanks.

cute, but imho

1.) their "push-push/pull-pull" (which I'll assume means in phase) system won't reduce vibrations given the way these are oriented

2.) I don't see a legit justification based on their description of the radiation pattern for how this is different from a small monopole bass enclosure with the same (or different) wide-ranger on top.  It may, however, help in terms of putting the speaker closer to a rear wall, assuming that's an issue to begin with.

Somehow this thread has bifurcated...

maybe the moderators can make them one?
