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!

They're building them now. Were expected to ship out Friday. But what I just found out, the Ulfberht tweeters, he doesn't just swap them in. There is as he put it "some engineering to do" which I am not sure at this time if that means crossovers or cabinetry. Both, probably. But he's working on it.  

So anyway it seems they are being built. Then everything gets tested, add 3 days for shipping, might be looking at having them end of next week. If so that would be 8 weeks, a little longer than expected, but not bad all things considered.
In my experience with my moab's it did take about 4 to 6 weeks for the bass to really get good the woofers took awhile to break in so out of the box the bass may be weak. I got mine last November but I don't think any changes have been made to change this.
