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 am not sure what the expression “Rocky reference” means but I expect its a local expression.

I am really interested with your forthcoming delivery of your new speakers. It is a shame that there are posters who meander off course and spoil the intent (your intent) of the column. This has happened numerous times with subjects of grapheme, equi=core and other tweaks and trinkets.

I hope we can communicate as this analysis takes place. And communicate with civilIty, as the left extreme has unseated memorials of ”your” hero’s past. Ignorant buffoons. I hope I have not insulted you or introduced an unpleasant topic.

I will look in to see how you are progressing and expect some humour as tempers fray and music explodes from the boom boxes.

Cheers 🇦🇺
