Legacy Aeris vs Tekton Ulfberht vs Triton Reference

Yeah, I've definitely read those reviews which makes them seem like a very viable option. Hard not to think such thoughts when professional audio reviewers have such raving reviews and decided to purchase the speakers themselves. 

But how much better would they be over the other options, or even their little brothers the DIs. 

@millercarbon 
So did you end up buying the Moabs? 
Either way, that is super helpful insight. Thank you for sharing that info. 
The UFs are physically massive and would be quite a stretch for my significant other to swallow in our average sized 19x12  x 10 ft ceiling movie/listening room.

Now after checking the Tekton website, I'm curious where the Encore model fits in between the Moab and the UFs sonically...and more importantly, how either the moab or encore fare against the above mentioned Triton and Legacy units. 

I would love to have a listen to the Triton or the Legacy Aeries. Just not a lot of opportunity to do so.  Anyone in the south FL area have either of these two sets and willing to audition?
Is there a formal place to ask this question anywhere here?

I did, however, find someone gracious enough to host me over to listen and see the Ulfberhts in the area. Very excited about that. 

I need to see with my own eyes their size and determine how much trouble I would be in with the wifey if they mysteriously showed up on the doorstep one afternoon. 

Admittedly with this process I think I am leaning the Tekton route for some of the above mentioned reasons. I may even consider their Encore speaker if the Ulfberhts are just too massive for my taste, space, or spouse. 

I am getting a lot of positive feedback about those as well. Not much bigger than my Double Impacts. 

@koslekt1 
thank you for that input. Super helpful. Been hard to find individuals who own the Aeries and will detail their experience. 
What’s your take on the Aeries ability to disappear in front of you and project that holographic image? How would you describe their sonic character? I know the tektons often are described as feeling “live” and have read many comments on their ability to disappear in front of the listener. Something I can appreciate to some degree firsthand with my DIs. Im sure their Moab, Encore, and Ulfberht share that  heritage. 
Not sure how the Legacy Aeries signature stacks up in comparison though. 
What was your experience concerning their abilities before and after the Wavelet? Or is the wavelet sort of a mandatory item for them?


DSP sounds like it could be a valuable tool to overcome room issues. I’m curious about it but haven’t gotten too engrained with that just yet. I’ll see how my room treatment ideas work first I guess. 
My current room is rectangular. Front wall is 19 ft wide, but with a hallway opening On the right so the physical front wall itself is about 13ft. It’s 12 feet deep and 10 feet high. 
Current listening triangle has my DIs about 9.5ft tweeter to tweeter. And listener position is just about 9.5 feet as well. 
My Tekton Brisance subwoofer is an utterly massive sub takes up a huge space on the front wall currently and I’m considering trying to sell that to upgrade to a smaller  Sub that has more flexibility in positioning and May allow a little bit more space between loudspeakers. 

What I care about most in all of this getting a speaker I won’t feel rushed wanting to upgrade. One that gives me a palpable, noticeable improvement over the double impacts. 
Anyone out there bought the legacy speakers and felt they just weren’t for them for any reason? 


I appreciate all the feedback this has generated. Been a fun process learning, seeing where my interests take things. 

Side note, I’m gonna see the Ulfberhts in person today for the first time. Another forum member was willing to let me check them out at his place. Love that. Glad this forum is a source of people willing to share the passion and help grow others interest.  Very cool stuff indeed.
