I have about 5 grand to spend on loudspeakers. Of these 2, Tekton Moab and Revel performa3 f208, which one would you goners buy? Or any recommendations? I have an old Krell FPB 400CX, Ayre K5xe mp, Wadia 321 Dac, VPI Classic turntable.
ozzy62, enjoy your sports car (corvette) with a truck engine and truck leaf spring suspension. If your Auduo tastes are the same as your car tastes then a sony boombox at Best buy will fit your needs.
I have heard the Tektons a few times, and while I don't think they are the ultimate in refinement, they are a respectable speaker at the price point. It appears they do some critical things well, namely a flat frequency response and smooth off axis response. A lot of far more expensive speakers do that very poorly.
I am guessing a lot of the negative posts are not based on actual comparative listening but just trolling.
"...a sony boombox at Best buy will fit your needs."
SONY boombox from Best Buy was easily my best buy ever. It served me for five years as a sole source of music. It still works just fine although I hardly ever use it. Never a hiccup, never craved anything better. It brought much more joy than current much more expensive set-up. Please have respect for actual fine equipment.
