I haven't heard the Tekton Moab or Direct Impact. I have, however, heard the Ulfberhts. I have owned a pair for about 3 months. The Ulfberht is the best speaker I have ever heard. They do an amazing job of creating the illusion of listening to live music. I had the Vandersteen 3a Signatures for several years and thought they were terrific. The Ulfberhts blow them out of the water.
The Moab shares a family resemblance with the Ulfberths and Tekton Encore, which is a MTM array of 15 tweeters, 14 of which cover the midrange and 1 that covers the high-end. The Moab lacks mid-bass drivers and is about 25% smaller than the Ulfberht, but about 25% bigger than the Encores, which do have mid-bass drivers. What is interesting to me about them is they they cost half of what the Ulfberht will set you back, $4,500.
I am eager to read the review. I want to emphasize that the Tekton Design approach of using multiple tweeters to reproduce the midrange frequencies works phenomenally well, although admittedly it looks odd.
