Wonderful ! Enjoy the music in great health.
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!

@hilde45 - thanks for the info. I’m looking at Revival Atalante 3 and Fyne Audio F501SP. Both have received favorable reviews but I have been hearing so much about the Moabs I had to ask. Thanks, again. |
My Tekton experience. I stopped by Tekton unannounced on a vacation trip through Utah. Eric very graciously spent several hours with me discussing speaker design and several other subjects that we found we had in common. I also got a demonstration of the IRL system, INCREDIBLE! On to the speakers. After talking several friends into trying out the Double Impacts and hearing them I decided I need to give Tekton a try myself. Yes, they still have their DI's. I ordered a pair of NEBO's with an AMT tweeter and ultimate crossover in a custom color my wife picked out. Would have loved to have one of his bigger offerings but I'd like to stay married. They sound fantastic as well as measure great to in my space. I listen to classical, jazz, jazz vocals, blues, rock and roll and some pop. Room: 19' x 39' x rising ceiling from 12' to 18' Here's what's in front of them. Amps:Atma-Sphere, Pass Labs XP-22, PS Audio Direct Stream (highly modified), Hermes DDC, Innuos Pulsar, NUCi7 running Roon ROCK, streaming Qobuz and local files. Also use Innuos Sense. Bottom line, outstanding speakers at a great price from a very nice guy. |
I have the moab be run with the michi m8 they are great he will put whatever crossover in it you want from modest to 2k upgrade.he is working, with ceramic speakers that have cone breakup>20 k so the human ear can hear the distortion above that hz.you can call him and tell him what you want he will guide you.they have alot of options .they don't look as good as my focal utopia be but there much less$ and to my old ears sound very close.both are run by same equipment michi m8 or sometimes mcintosh 1.2 k happy listening enjoy the music. |
