my own experience with Tekton Design


Extremely disappointed with the Dynaudio Contour 60s I bought 4 years ago, after owning for 2 years a wonderful pair of old Dynaudio Contour 3.3s ( poor fool, I thought I was upgrading), I decided to ditch the Dynaudios for something different. So, for the last 2 years, I have been one of the few Tekton Moab owners in Europe, I think. Already the first impression of the Moabs was very positive. I was still not 100 percent satisfied, but I was already much more satisfied than I was with the Contour 60s. After a few months I realized that something was wrong, and after some measurements that I shared with Eric (the owner and designer of Tekton) it was clear that one of the beryllium tweeters was slightly less performing than the other. Probably a problem caused by transportation from the United States to Europe. In any case I experienced in Eric great support, attention and kindness. Eric sent me a replacement tweeter that I personally assembled with very little effort in less than 10 minutes. 

And then wow! It was really a change from day to night. At first I didn't believe that a 15% less tweeter efficiency could make such a huge difference in presentation. But I had to believe it.  I listen mostly to classical, jazz, and ethnic recordings, so for me the most important characteristics of a speaker are timbre quality and soundstage accuracy. The Moabs offer all this naturally, effortlessly. I have no intention of upgrading to anything else. Thanks for everything Eric!

Moab is one of those speakers that just works.  A friend brought his over last week and it compares favorably to my Hornings that cost 8x more.

It takes courage to post when all the press is negative.  I commend you.

Thanks for a good, positive post. 
Credit goes to excellent customer support. 

I have had Eric's speaker in the past. For the price, one really cannot fault the sonics of it in any way. I could name all kinds of speakers that are essentially cold fake sounding ear rippers for what they cost (that simply get carried by a thing called audiophile brand name snobbery).

It does help with the sonics when musicians (like Eric) design speakers.

 

The Moab’s lack tons of potential detail in part because of the low quality internal Xover parts .I assisted others in brand Parts such as Capacitors,  vh Audio Odam 

Jantzen Alumina Z , and the exceptional path audio resistors.

the inductors waxed copper foil paper awg 14 for tweeter,mids, 

and a awg Jantzen open coil copper for Bass. This 100 % will improve your fidelity15-20% cost about $1500 in parts putgood WBT connectors on back .once this glaring weakness was addressed a much more refined ,detailed Loudspeaker.
