Speakers for triode tube amps
Zu Audio has some interesting products that I've been dying to try ... match a few of the posters here: very sensitive. Having supply chain issues but check them out! https://www.zuaudio.com/new-folder |
Salieri on Mozart…”Too many notes!” Audio snob on Tekton…”Too many tweeters!”. I think that’s part of it. Using multiple low mass tweeters with the combined radiating area of a conventional MR is the basic inspiration of the brand, and marrying that to the D’Appolito concept makes for some funny looking speakers. I’ve never heard a pair either, but I can’t dismiss them just because they don’t match my idea of “good” speaker design. |
Some very useful comments and then the haters who have never heard a product and take joy in bashing it after visiting a website. Don't these members care that their credibility is called into question when they behave like this. Don't they care this forum is a much better place when you help someone out as opposed to posting useless and unsubstantiated opinions? If you don't like how Tekton looks--great--don't buy it. Tekton puts the money where it counts. Add up the cost of the drivers vs. the final cost of the product. NO major speaker manufacturer I know of offers this kind of value. So if you are put off by that, than by all means, spend your audio money on furniture you can look at. @larryi one of the good points made here. While the Moab can be driven by low powered SE amps, the lower impedance makes it a crap shoot as far as tonal balance. That is the nature of tube amps--especially with high output impedances. Thanks for making a helpful post for the OP. DavidLouis full range driver--do you really think this could begin to compete with the Moab on full range orchestral works and similar music?? Let me be clear--I love what a full range driver can do for some music. Guitar and vocals, for example, can be just outstanding and have an immediacy that multi-way speakers can't quit capture. But what about that rising high end response that so many of these drivers share. Better choose your music carefully. Tektons perform beautifully exactly where that driver will fall apart. |
