Questioning Tannoy, Tekton or other possible change.

Upgradeitis is setting in. I am wondering what I should consider first: speakers, amp, power cable or other?
Where’s the weak link?

Current setup:

Amp: Line Magnetic LM805ia (SET) with NOS tubes

Cables: Power: Shunyata Venom V10 NR, RCA: Cardas Golden Presence and Duelund. speaker cables: Shunyata Anaconda, Ethernet: Supra Cat 8, Tone audio EtherREGEN, DS220J Synology DS220+ NAS, 3x dedicated power lines (10ga)

Speakers: Tannoy Turnberry, DEBRA sub-array utilizing 2x SA1000 amplifiers

Streamer/DAC: Lumin S1, Shunyata Etron Alpha Digital power cord

I’ve been eyeballing the Tekton Moabs, but I’d rather not expend the energy/time/money if they are not a whole lot better than my Tannoy’s. Does anyone have experience with both Tannoy and Tekton? If so, are Moabs a worthwhile change, or stick with what I have? The other thing I wonder is if Moabs are ok for my 15x20 room with an 8ft ceiling?

Thanks!

+1, mapman.
Tannoy and Tektons....two very different speakers. Nothing against Tektons but I will never trade my Tannoy’s for anything out there let alone for Tektons :-)

BTW, you have a very nice system. Well balanced but if you’re feeling bored then maybe play with another line of cables.

The OP has a superb system - and he's not happy! There is something more going on here than just sonic dissatisfaction! I suggest professional counseling!

Change for change's sake is ill-advised - and a stupid thing to do!

I am with those applauding your system. Well balanced. The difference between the tow speakers are so great maybe you could own both. Sometimes it is change we are looking for. Not improvement.
