Tekton Design Moab


Ordered a pair just now. In Dark Gray, to which Tammy immediately said, "Oh the Charcoal is beautiful!" Charcoal sounds better than Dark Gray (even though we are talking about the same color!) so Charcoal it is!  

My beloved Talon Khorus do still sound awfully good. It will be interesting to see how the Moabs stock out of the box compare with these tweaked and modded warhorses. Both the strength, and the weakness, of the Khorus is using the 10" woofer to cover so much midrange. Its a strength because it makes for a very smooth and cohesive sound. But its a weakness because its asking a lot of such a large driver to go so high. Talon makes up for it with their isobaric design. Mounted inside and directly behind the woofer is another identical driver facing the opposite direction. The idea is this relieves the front facing driver of having to compress the air inside the cabinet. This does allow for a much faster response, and is a big reason for the wonderful music the Khorus produces. 

I have a feeling however it is no match for Eric Alexander's ultra-low mass driver array solution. Only one way to know for sure. So we will just have to see!

I, too, haven't gone to this thread for a very long time and am glad I've stayed away. What a bunch of self serving BS about Covid, HQ and the CDC. This place had become a repository for nothing but politically based lies on the subjects. Saying politics should stay out of it is laughable as it's been nothing but politically based misinformation that can get people killed, and that is the height of irresponsibility. 

Right now, morbidity is highest among persons aged 20-29 years.

Some doctors are not immune from political bias and it can get people killed.

Despite our differences, I hope MC recovers, but shunning the doctors and taking some still unproven drug that's been shown to be, at best, coincidental in it's efficacy, is a downright foolhardy and deadly thing to do.

Some of you fools are going to get people killed.

As we all know tomorrow is Michaelmas Day.
Time to get the tractor and combine ready.

This is fast becoming a Dope Opera of the most sordid kind.

You can always change the channel folks. 👍

Saw that this morning. Every old Tekton thread with the same, boilerplate inquiry. 
Was someone trying to raise the dead?

All the best,
