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!

speedbump6,


These are yours and mine first posts on this thread.


Did you join this thread to discourage people from buying Tekton?

"Any speaker that can be ordered in blue, orange, or red should be applauded even before hearing it (which, I suspect, will just make it even better deal)."

"Miller, it will be much longer than a month. I was told the same back in December, and that it might be possible even in a couple of weeks. Took a bit over two months for the ulfers and at three months for the center I called Eric and managed to get him to put a rush on it, or no telling when it might have been. It sounded like they were getting overloaded back then, and with covid and more people at home, I’ve read where some vendors sales have increased a good bit. I don’t think you should have ever been told one month at the point you ordered yours. I would be prepared for much longer. I’m thinking about adding a set of moabs for my rear speakers now."

nwres,

The posts you noticed were clustered because that is when I turned the computer on. They were not negative. They were quite accurate.

I understood that you were talking about timing of those tweaks by millercarbon. Still, those sentences caught my attention as they could catch the attention of anyone reading carefully and trying to understand. Had they not been there, I would not have noticed them or thought about them.
Be careful. Taking sentences out of context from a post and then painting it in a different light could be considered malicious. And certainly not constructive.

Accurate? I cannot agree. Hopefully the more sensitive types won’t find this post offensive somehow. Disagreeing with some seems to get a reaction.

nwres,

I am not taking anything out of context. It is just that the concept is unclear. I am far from being malicious in this case. Just curious.

Really, if terminals on some speaker, or whatever else, do not serve the purpose well without contact enhancer, would you consider that product good enough? If some tweak applied to speakers does not change the speakers, why would one apply it? How many things you use that you say "It does not change anything so I am using it."?

There may be an answer to my questions, and it may be a reasonable one, if you get off the train where any question is considered malicious.
