High value, giant killer speakers?

Talked to Ron at Marigo Labs the other day. He has the Tekton Encore ($8000). He thinks they are better than his King Sound Electrostats. He is going to mod them. The Tekton Moab has the same mids and highs with "merely’ two 12 inch woofs for bass.....$4500 the pair delivered...with in home trial. There is a guy on the Moab thread who replaced his 20.1 or 20.5 Maggies with them.....he is really happy. Modified, the Moab would be better than most $50K speakers....that is my guess.

Ricevs - what mods is he going to do on the Moab?

Everyone's favorite is a "giant killer".

I agree somewhat with this. That said one new favourite is Dutch & Dutch 8. About $10k with amps and dac built in. I hope I can save money for those.

What kind of mod ?

I would add Yamaha NS5000. Extremely impressive speaker and although pricey I think it can take on speakers that are more expensive.
