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!

It is quite rare for MC and myself to be on the same page but he has Glupson nailed.
I blame GK who positively encouraged Glupsons baseless strawman arguments and helped him perfect the Brer Rabbit and Tar Baby routine.

Sorry but I have yet to see Glupson EVER bring anything constructive to ANY thread period.

Do not see this as any post of praise for MC (😇😇) and the way he makes some statements here but oh Lord, Glupson is a blight on most threads.
Lord of the Flies indeed.
C’mon, miller!
If you’re going to post a ratcheted up version of your usual obnoxious tirades, at least have the decency to keep it up there so newcomers to the thread can read it and see what a ray of sunshine you are.
Are you wrapped so tight in your own short sighted ego that you can’t see when you’re being put on?


It was his usual nastiness squared.
He even managed to insult me and I had nothing to do with it...
We’re MC a ray of sunshine he would have bought Yellow Moabs.
Duh!

In all seriousness I would probably use the same amplification for big Tektons that I do for my big Ohms. Tube pre-amp (Audio Research in my case) and a Good Class D amp (Bel Canto). 

If that combo did not work out well a tube amp was next in line for me.
