Them speakers are ugly

I hope there better than the double Impact se.

Dont buy Tekton! Boycott Tekton! Ser Erins audio corner review on the Tektons he reviewed! You will understand what a piece of work Eric at Tekton is!! He doesn't get it that his speakers are not perfect.

I'm a speaker noob, and I run across this video and I don't even know what I'm looking at. Except that the TV is tiny.

Even on this video it's very audible how reverbery your room is - on phone speakers. And you're talking about speaker cables. With risers in the background. Interesting priorities!

When I sold mine (upgrading to the new Ulfberht15) the buyer took a long time telling me how many much more expensive speakers he's owned, how unlikely it was these would make the cut, on and on. I said well you don't live far you're welcome to come even if you probably won't want them. Right away first song the guy was changing and recalibrating fast! Played him all kinds of different music, he just kept saying how they are so much better than expected. Kept asking me how much, and shaking his head. All his famous expensive speakers suddenly weren't all that. Spent a couple hours playing all kinds of music until I finally said hey if they're not for you no problem hate to kick you out but,.... then he pulled out the cash and paid my full asking price. First to come hear em, bought em. Nothing else even comes close, not at two, three, five times the price.

did you say you have nordost odin cabling?

Sigh......why do I see this constantly, MOVE the set you don't use out of the way. You can't really make a good evaluation doing this .

Listened to these briefly while sitting next to Eric Alexander himself at RMAF a few years ago, an unrefined exaggerated in-your-face presentation, these are more for an untrained ear wanting to be wowed with volume and dynamics (just like what I heard from Infinity designs back in the 1970s) - Hey, whatever floats your boat as they say.

The reason he's speaking so highly of tekton is because if he doesn't Eric will threaten him with litigation

tekton is clapping cheeks rn

Could I ask you please..... Did the manufacturer threaten you with legal action if you didn't like the speakers? He is known to do this. Please think about removing any Tekton content if you feel this behaviour is wrong. Thanks

yes! finally someone with common sense!! the key for cleaning effectively is-AGITATION-!!!or scrubbing to get the grim in to suspence,i would personally moving the brush a bit faster and longer to really see the """foam"" but i""am glad you discover how it should be!! thanks for the video!!

You have two pair of speakers at home? Does your wife have a single sister?

The brush is really designed to spread the cleaner evenly across the surface, not to scrub the surface and create bubbles/suds. The cleaner contains surfactants that break surface tension, allowing cleaner to settle into the grooves and loosen the gunk through a chemical reaction- not by agitation- the brush bristles are too large to actually fit IN the tiny grooves. The gunk/debris is then 'suspended' in the solution until the vacuum sucks it out. By letting the cleaner sit for a longer time (a few minutes?) it can more effectively loosen the gunk in the grooves. Scrubbing does clean the record of course, but you're not actually scrubbing IN the grooves with that brush- you're cleaning the surface.

I hear a lot of echo in your recording room lol, what about investing in some soundproofing? 😂

Thanks for this video. I'm considering the Double Impact based on the WAF and the sheer size of the Moab and impact on my livng room. I hope the grills cover all of the drivers and keep my grandkids fingers away.

Kinda ironic that a microphone is out of the budget apparently.

For my mid-life crisis I'm considering building my ultimate system based around these w/ the Be tweeter and xover upgrade, and a tubes4hifi Dyna 120 modernized reproduction amp kit. I work in a hospital and we've had a string quartet in one of our lobbies playing xmas music last week. Not loud, but there's a sense of scale that cannot be replicated by small speakers. Plus, I like to rock it out sometimes.

Really nice cables. Kimber? Raw lengths?

Your room seems very ''echo'' sorry, but you need to see to the room treatment .It's not the speakers ''it's the room''.Respectfully !

Woah, fix your room if you think the Moabs are not precise in their imaging. That's your room affecting the imaging. I know this for a fact as I gradually made changes to my room as far as treatment and placement. I experienced a whole bunch of different presentations. Finally got it all dialed in, and I've got something special going on, not just because I'm in love with the sound, folks who've heard it have said so. My first reflection is treated from floor to ceiling, as well as the corners. Moabs have a lot of radiating area to tame. Big difference than just treating around ear height.

I found the Moab to be forgiving of close proximity to the wall with and without treatment. I've been rocking them with the spikes on some sliding pucks for the spikes from some company that I can't remember, helped the sound. I'm tempted to try the Townshend Podiums. Only thing is, I'd have to raise my sofa to match the height I suppose. I like having the tweeter at ear height so I'm in the middle of the array.

Who makes that equipment rack?

What a load of arse holes here in these comments..leave the man alone...his speakers are some of the best ...idiots

Can u sell me a pair ?

Very dali core like 100 grand plus

Crazy i love it i want it

They look amazing for the price dude

Experience, qualifications, logic, measurements. ALL are inferior to real perception, or reality.

This is a great how-to. I have had an Okki Nokki for years. I find it interesting that you - and many others - recommend a distilled water rinse cycle (after L'Art du Son cleaning cycle) since Okki Nokki themselves fail to list that as a step in their own manual. Why do you think they committed that step? I must say that I wish I had watched this years ago because I have cleaned hundreds of albums without a rinse cycle. Do I now need to go back to every single once and simply give them each a rinse? What a huge bummer.

@Kevin Leblanc, How is the finish holding up a year later? Do you still like it as much now as when you got it? Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm considering an Acoustic Solid turntable, so it's nice to hear from someone who owns one.

It's always more trustworthy to hear reviews from owners rather than YT reviewers most of them are Influencers who seldom criticize the equipment they review. I didn't hear from you mentioning any cons or downsides of these speakers. Maybe you did in your other videos.

They look silly

how was it getting it into canada? I'm a Canadian also. thanks

What's the deal with the optional $11k crossover?

Kevin, no offense intended, but the echoes in your room I hear when you speak are brutal.

There is a nice video about the company. It is shown how the turntables are made. The video is in German, but you can see the work processes very nicely. ruclips.net/video/Mlwtsm9Iy3k/видео.html

A lot of sarcasm in the comments section. 🤣 Your room would definitely benefit from some acoustic treatment, more beneficial than any cable you might own.

Hi Kevin, I am looking for a tall tower set for my parasound a21+ mono blocks which provide 1000wpc each, I want a laid back and relaxed sound with a lot of low end punch, somehow forgiving with heavy metal harsh recordings. Would you say that these Tektons are my best option? Can’t stand the analytical sound of hiend modern speakers anymore.

These look like a joke.

Hilarious to make an entire video about snake oil when you have cable risers in the background. Lmfao.

This gotta be a better a way to do these audio reviews of speakers and equipment and not get demonetized for playing music.

I have a pair of these about 2 years old performing magic tricks in my living room. I'm not sure what the limits of these things are really. I'm so happy with these speakers. I recently placed my two mono amps, power regenerator, and DAC each on a IKEA Aptileg (sp?) ~17"x20" butcher blocks on top of two 5"x7" cork mats. All but the DAC have some museum putty between the feet and block. I wasn't ready for that improvement. I thought it would be minor, but man what an improvement. More clarity and solidity across the range. Not bad for $100 after a couple of coupons my wife happened to have with her. equipment: Tekton Moab 4ohm bi-wireable, PS Audio M700 amps, Gustard A26 direct XLR to the amps, PS Audio P3 Regenerator. Roon using the DAC's built-in endpoint.

great job, learned alot. Like your process

Yeah bro, good stuff made by slave labor in China : imprisoned Catholic priests and nuns etc;etc;.

Jesus moabs are huge. Great speaker though. Wonder how those get delivered? Need a team? As I understand, maybe wrong but Tekton uses Guitar amp drivers that make a great match for live recordings.

Which would you pick for rock / metal? I own a pair of Pendragons and I'm looking for more impact.

I can’t watch it because I can’t hear it.

If differences are so big why don't you proof it in a blind test? You could make big money of it. You won't do it of course because you can't hear it. Nobody ever could. It's snake oil.
