About the WattMeister Model One
The WattMeister Model One is a substantial dual 15-inch horn loudspeaker from Tekton Design, engineered by Eric Alexander for impactful, detailed sound reproduction. Inspired by Klipsch Heritage and JBL Everest, it combines direct-radiator Lavoce woofers for linear response with horn-loaded B&C midrange and tweeter for exceptional speed, articulation, and low distortion. Achieving 101dB sensitivity, it excels with amplifiers from 1 watt to 400W RMS, capable of 120dB continuous output. Its controlled power response ensures a wide, immersive soundstage. Usable frequency response is 42Hz–22kHz, extendable to 30Hz–22kHz with optional DSP; subwoofers recommended for full-range bass. Custom finishes available, including premium mirror gloss.
