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!

not a joke this time. I think I found a set in Germany. The site is in German but it let me go all the way through to checkout. I sent them an email to see if they really are in stock. Ever call Germany?

I also found the owners manual

speedbump6,
I think you said you have the Ulf and Moab.  Have you compared them side by side?  There is little technical info on the website about crossover of the drivers in the Ulf.  I can only guess that the tweeter arrays are the same on the Ulf and Moab, but below 300 Hz, the smaller 6" drivers of the Ulf handle the mid and upper bass, enabling more speed than the 12" drivers of the Moab.  For ultimate speed in midrange/HF, the 15 Be tweeters are the ideal, for $14K.  For the best of everything, the Ulf with 15 Be tweeters, but Eric doesn't mention that.
raysmtb1,

Chances are that people in Germany will speak sufficient English for you to complete the transaction. If not, let me know.

Also, ask them if you can get MwSt. (275.59 Euro) deducted if they are exporting it to you (presumably) outside of EU. They should be able to.
