Robert TN I have the DI's upgraded (not SE version) no BE tweeter, for 3 years now, all R&R about 85 to90DB, give or take. Pass labs new (still paying for it) x-250.8 Amp, large area 20 x30" area of large shop that is not partitioned off of a larger area 40x60' machinery M/C's etc. Great sound stage, acoustics are GREAT, have no idea why, just lucky I guess. Benchmark LA-4 Pre amp, Meitner MA-s v2 Dac, SB4000 SVS sub RS2T transport LTA LPS for RS2T. Stream Qobuz. LOVE my system, but am seriously considering Tekton Encor's. Any help with my dilemma. Just hoping to open a door beyond the current one, that makes you say holy crap!!!! Of course in a good way!!!! Thanks
Tekton speaker comparison thread
Hey all the purpose of this thread is for Tekton owners and those who have had/heard Tekton speakers to write their impressions on how they compared to other speakers they have owned (especially more expensive ones). Please refrain from flaming and aggression, just want to create friendly discussion that is focused specifically on comparisons (ideally in the same room and with the same electronics).
In the other tekton threads there is a lot of positive feedback but often I find there is no actual comparison so its hard to know where someone is coming from when they give their impressions.

Just spent some time on the phone with Eric at Tekton, He suggested as I was into R&R exclusively ' that the MOAB, with BE tweeter would be the better way to go. The encors are very accurate speakers, but, at this time more suited to classical and such as apposed to R&R. He is apparently working them in the direction of R&R. Does anyone have experience with the Moab and R&R. Thanks |
In 2015, I bought the Tekton Pendragon. I love it and even upgraded to Be tweeters. Had Infinity, Wharfedale and others in the past too. And then, I went DIY Open Baffles using Lii Song Fast 15 on a 1" thick baffle. I love it much better than Tekton. A pair of Cinema Sub augments the bass region. And then upgraded it by adding ESS Heil AMT tweeter and the sound is glorious. The Pendragons had to go down to surround sound service in the home theater. And then I built the Folded Horn Speaker using Lii Song PT-10 too. Another wow! I alternate using the OB speakers with the FH speakers depending on the genre Im listening to. I love Tekton, but its not in the league with the OB or the FH speakers. They, I think, will be better than the Moabs or other higher end Tekton. You can go to Decware and audition these speakers. You will not go back to conventional cabinet speakers after that....I promise you. |
Same here. The Moabs have performed terrifically in my room, where they followed the Martin Logan Odysseys I'd had and loved for many years. The Moabs were less than half the price BTW. Roughly as fast as the old electrostats and better tonal coherence from top to bottom. More like live music. lwin, where in Maine do you live? PM me if that's better. |
@passthedutchie I live in what is referred to as Central Maine even though geographically it really isbsouthern Maine. Our house is on a hillside overlooking Sebago Lake which is 45 minutes northwest of Portland. We love company if you want to visit you are more than welcome. |
