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!

Had the Tekton DI SE and the Cube Audio Nenuphars are way better and I'm sure since they don't have a crossover and a point source with coloration, they are better than the Moab.
Why would you say that? MCs system, gear and tweaks are not yours. Have you heard his system vs yours? To definitively call something better without this intimate knowledge seems a bit unreasonable. Right?
Two very different speakers with each having its own set of unique strengths and relative weaknesses. There any many ways to great sound as you must know. I think MC has proven he is diligent and cares about the details that make a system sing.
Yes, and the Moab design has its own unique set of physics that deliver great sound.  Just like your single driver speaker.  Physics also show relative weaknesses in both design approaches. You proved my point.
