Tekton Open Baffle Speakers

Open baffle speakers have advantage of no box coloration.

The drawback is that mid bass may lack impact.

I am also intrigued with 3 K$ per pair special pre order price.😁

But since I already have 4 excellent speakers, it is more likely that I pass this occasion.

I was impressed with Moab driven by Atma class D amp during Pacificaudiofest 2023.

It sounds neutral with good dynamics.

They aren't really $3K.  If you go to Tekton's Facebook page you will see that the $3K is like a preorder deposit.  They will still charge you $7K.  The exact post by Tekton was "$7K per pair. $3K deposit gets you in the queue."  

That might seem reasonable compared to Pure Audio Project but it is absurdly expensive compared to the Tekton Moabs and it is hard to imagine them being better than the Moabs but only time will tell.  I can tell you that I have never heard an open baffle speaker that out performed the Moabs.

@pinwa Absolutely agree about the Moab (or other full size speakers) being a better buy.  But smaller speakers appeal strongly to those whose spouse won't let them have bigger speakers.   Tekton is all about the sound rather than the room decor.  

Another challenge these speakers may have is the flat baffle appeals more to the room decor crowd and not having polished hardwood, many will still find them unattractive, even though they are smaller.
