Mine were delivered today. Yes they are big and tall but the sound is to die for.
Chuck, Why don't you list all the mods you've made to your pair here, just a quick list?
Charles, how long did it take to get your pair?
Im listening to this Moab reviiew through a pair of Tekton Lores i bought 6 years ago. Sounds amazing! If you cant afford the Moab or the Double Impact, you will still be blown away by the Lore.
If you don't mind me asking, how much were the Tekton Lore's & are you still happy w/them?? Ik this is an old post, sorry bout that. Th Lore's & Zu Dirty Weekends size would be perfect for my Liv room, thanks
I’ve been looking for a new set of speakers with at least a 10” woofer but my choices at least in my price range are very limited and the closest thing I could find was the klh 5’s or Wharfdale linton’s but they weren’t exactly what I was looking for and felt for what they were they were overpriced. I then discovered Tekton and found exactly what I’m looking for. Great video
Best sounding sax I ever heard through speakers !
Absolutely fantastic speakers for the money can't beat them for the price
Love your video's. I like to listen to the music on these system's, then play the same music through my system. It's fun!
...last week I had the brief ..moment to speak to Eric, in little words hes amazing and gifted naturally, I perceived hea strong character,and passion lots of it just by few words we exchanged,,,,I'm trying real hard to get those MOABS w/ berrullion tweeters only, ...hopefully soon..
Thank you for the review. Great sound.
REALLY love the dynamic realistic sound. The designs, the concept/philosophy of this company. For the price, beyond criticism. Absolutely superb.
If you ever desire a cinematically filmed Ad with real time audiophile sound recording of each product - give me a call 📞 ✔
On another note ... When will this incredible company setup distribution in the UK 🇬🇧 👍
Wow! I'm not even there but that sound comes in very equal from all direction if that makes any sense. It sounds really good.
Nice synergy between the VAC and Tekton.
For anyone wondering... yes the boxiness of her voice and some of the percussion is a characteristic of the recording, not of the speakers which are merely reproducing it faithfully. IMO, it mars a beautiful song and an otherwise excellent recording.
I never consider a speaker with less than 50 tweeters.

👍
If you look up, waaaay up over your head, you might find his joke. Or judging from your response you might not.
You got that right man! And a horn for each one is even better.
@@tracebritt8794 we know we are just being funny. Calm your tits.

Haha! I’m thinking that by that ridiculous but serious response, the joke most likely went about 100 ft or so (+/- 10ft) above his head, then dropped, hit him directly in the face, knocked him out cold, was laying next to him when he came to, introduced him/herself to him, said, “hello, my name is joke”, and he still didn’t see or hear it.
Edit: stupidity is a common mask
Thank you for a great review
excellent review. please do the Perfect SET please
You were right about the spikes. 🤦♂️. Thanks and Merry Christmas
Great review Kemper! I'm thinking of using the Moabs in a home theater system with a single beryllium tweeter used as the high frequency driver and keeping the soft dome tweeter midrange array as is.
Great idea
Nice review......great value speaker.
If you thin felted the entire mid/tweets (that is cover all the front surface right up to the actual dome of each tweeter.....so the only thing not felted are the actual moving domes) you would get more clarity, focus and the speaker would probably image more like a small monitor.
If you go into the speaker and damp the cabinet more and damp the frames of the woofers with constrained layer damping material, you would get tighter and cleaner bass.
If you remove the entire xover from the speaker and mount it on an isolated stand behind the speaker and change all the xover parts and wires to state of the art parts you would get another whole level of transparency and clarity......would blow your mind! Of course, you would use a binding post as a clamp to connect your speaker wire to the xover (therefore removing the binding post sound).
Add some PPT mats and ground enhancers into the mix and you will never leave your chair! The xover parts and wire and felt and damping, etc. would cost around $2K. The tweeter upgrade would be on my list, as well. You could consult with Eric and for a fee he could do the damping and run your fave wires outside the speaker to his stock xover.....then you could tweak the xover slowly over time.
All the above has been tested by myself and others for years and years. None of what I mentioned is new (well, the PPT stuff is new).
thanks for sharing... just outstanding! I love how sensitive these speakers are! endless possibilities driving these things!
Nice review.
Great speakers
I have Eric's OB Sigmas open baffle design and I enjoy them immensely with a pair of Hsu Research subs. I am going to have to find a way to listen to his big vented speakers. If they can capture the air of his open baffle design I'm sure I'll have to have a pair!
I wonder if Tekton will make a statement center to match the Moab's. Years ago, I had a Dunlavy HRCC to go along with my SC-V's. Best center I ever heard! Once you have a full-range center that matches the mains, you'll never be satisfied with small centers again. It makes a huge difference for HT. I'd love to try - or at least hear - the Moab's, as I'm a sucker for bigger speakers (you can only fool the physics so much), but the rear ports concern me.
I'd like to see Eric's reaction to a video describing one of his most neutral high end speakers as having 'that Tekton house sound'. This guy sounds like Major Kong performing the survival kit contents check in Dr Strangelove
I love these speakers, but, I think we need more tweeters.
Tweeters and midrange although they all look like Tweeters 👍 😳.
Just i can say Bravo
I have a room that is 7m x 5m. Will they be able to fill a room that big with sound? Thanks for the review
After watching the klipshorn video before this one there such different speakers.
Hard to know sometimes what’s the best speaker.
sounds really clean, not too Krell, fine highs
Thanks for the demo but couldn't you pick something with more spark? This is like buying a Corvette and then driving it 10mph.
🤣🤣🤣
nice speakers. What's with that crusty old dell optiplex though? replace that immediately...
i see they are 900w... i have 250w/ch so.... what amps would someone use on these? two mono's?
I wander what is the song playing at the very beginning in the background?
How do they sound at lower listening levels?
That was an astonishing Soundcheck and by far the best vid about the Moab's on YT by many Miles.
BUT ONE QUESTION I STILL HAVE.......are they sounding as good on low volume level ???
THX
They are very good at lower volumes, but the bass impact is reduced as it would be on any speaker, the liveliness and transparency still shine through at reduced levels.
What is the resonance frequency of the tweeters?
Deciding on DE or Moab: Mo's use more powerful tweeter ($80 each!) but only use a single tweeter as a 'true tweeter' in the center of 2 seven tweeter clusters all acting as mids instead of the KEF type tweeter-inside-the-mid idea used by DE and described in their patent. DE should have better mid bass and 90% of the Mo's bass, which was more than anyone would ever need. Mo's should deliver maybe 1.5 to 2 db louder in lower bass and upper mids but only at upper volumes, for $1,500 more? Any ideas please share
Sounds Incredible. Is that the Rogue Medusa Amp powering those ?
Yes the Rogue Medusa is driving the Moabs, great choice, and synergy.
Well, with VAC signature tube preamp + Tube input/driver/Class D of Rogue Medusa, there WAS good amount of tube wetness with this system.
Wow my 15" Martin Audio Loudspeakers reproduced this very well, I could FEEL that low end go into my LazyBoy Chair & vibrate my butt. The Horns came at me like a Semi Truck Horn. all in all there like putting a 250 Horse Boat Motor on a small 20 Foot trolling vessel. There INTENSE & good for (SOUND) therapy to soak in Harmonic Pressure like from Tibetan Bowls & Crystal Bowls. Like to hear them play those Huge Japan Drums. Or Native American Tribal Drum with 5 guys hitting it together to form a Heart Beat of Sound Therapy.
Is there any classic rock that is not copyright protected? I'd like to hear some of that instead of Jazz.
Anyone know the track playing at the beginning of the video?
A great review, and *tremendous* loudspeakers for the price…more than reasonable, even with the BE upgrade. I love the demo track as well. Had to climb up to the Loft after watching your review to have a listen on my far more humble system. Good music sounds great anywhere. Thanks for sharing. Here's that same track with Beryllium tweeters on much smaller speakers: th-cam.com/video/PsYgkH_vlJI/w-d-xo.html
I can't imagine what 30 BE tweeters playing in the same room would sound like!
Excellent medium wave.. awesome dynamics. It seems to be really great value for money.
However, I think maybe the tweeters session should have better internal damping inside the case.
What the heck is medium wave? Is that one of the made-up audiophile things?
Have you compared the Moab with Double Impact? Which one is better, the price difference is only $1,500 USD. I can go either way, but I cannot audition these speakers from where I am, relying on your expert opinion for my purchase. Thank You.
The Moab is a flagship model. If you can afford it and don't go for it you'll feel bad about it in the long run...
I have had both in my room, if you can live with the Moab's size- they outpoint the DIs in every category especially in midrange/voices transparency and go much deeper in the bass with more authority and impact. I'm the reviewer from AV Showrooms and the room is mine.
Not sure one guy could tilt the Moab while turning a spike at the same time, laying each one down for a dozen small spike adjustments would be ridiculous. Also, are you saying the spike inserts are actually open holes into the speaker enclosure? (If leaving the spikes out effects the port tuning)
Дизайн шикарен, как и цвет.
Awesome ... typical of US manufacturer ... must have something that is huge! Sounds very good too. 👍👍
The huge size is a design choice to get the high sensitivity and deep bass.
What size room were the Moab's in? Also did you have them bi-wired?
Not Bi-Wired. 22 x 14' room
Do I want Beryllium tweeters playing the midrange though?
Yeahp it sounds ..great ..go for it and share with us through TH-cam vide recordings if it's at all possible that is. ..so we can hear all types of vocalist from different genres all over the world. With the MOABS.. soon I'll catch up....
Why not? Eric's justification for it is quite interesting
geeza sitting like a toddler after lunch in the nursery
How do the Tektons compare to Magico’s M6?
LOL... $4500 vs $172,000. Come on man.
@@Smood47 Price is no reason not to compare them. I've listened to a lot of super-expensive speakers at show that wasn't exactly impressive.
Buy your Tekton’s now because they will start raising prices... really good value for natively designed and built speakers.
Tekton is heavily backordered and still hasn't raised any prices.
Are these the basic ones or do they have the "BE" upgrade ? regards !!
The review is clearly stated as the ($4500 basic) version. You can see the normal dome tweeters at 1:30. The full BE upgrade is $9500!!!!
They are the basics.
Obviously, these don't have the Beryllium(metal) dome tweeters.
basic
Standard Moabs, $4500 delivered.
It's nice to see we can get decent sound now without taking out a second mortgage!😀
not necessary on the speakers, but the components and cables you may have to
