Have had a pair of Tekton Moabs for three weeks now. On vacation this week and getting nothing done. If I turn on music I find it almost impossible to leave the room. The Moabs replaced a pair of Cornwall III’s. Loved the Cornwalls but the mids were muddy. No muddy mids with the Moabs. I find that the Moabs provide a better balance of tone at lower volumes. Don’t have to turn the volume nearly as high to experience the full range of sound. I did not upgrade to the BE tweeters since some reviewers reported a warmer sound with the upgrade. I’m running tube amps that already are fairly warm sounding so I saved my pocketbook and ordered stock drivers. Happy I did. Plenty warm enough without loosing high end. As others have stated the speakers do disappear into the room. The listening experience is like sitting center stage near the front. Since the tweeter is centered at ear level when seated and the midrange arrays and woofers both up and down from the tweeter, The music doesn’t feel like it’s being projected from low in a corner. The space is filled up and down as well as presenting a nice soundstage.
Just my cent and a half.
Thanks to Audio Doctors (Dave and Troy) for their insightful posts. I was looking at Legacy Focus SE’s. A post by Audio Doctors where they were somewhat attacked for a post where in comparing the Moabs to Focus’ stated that the Moabs were slightly warmer. I took that to mean that a $4500 pair of speakers were relatively close in sound to a $10K+ pair. I have taken their advice before and have yet to be anything but happy with choices I’ve made using insight they provided. I have purchased from them in the recent past. Totally satisfied.
