Questioning Tannoy, Tekton or other possible change.


Upgradeitis is setting in. I am wondering what I should consider first: speakers, amp, power cable or other?
Where’s the weak link?

Current setup:

Amp: Line Magnetic LM805ia (SET) with NOS tubes

Cables: Power: Shunyata Venom V10 NR, RCA: Cardas Golden Presence and Duelund. speaker cables: Shunyata Anaconda, Ethernet: Supra Cat 8, Tone audio EtherREGEN, DS220J Synology DS220+ NAS, 3x dedicated power lines (10ga)

Speakers: Tannoy Turnberry, DEBRA sub-array utilizing 2x SA1000 amplifiers

Streamer/DAC: Lumin S1, Shunyata Etron Alpha Digital power cord

I’ve been eyeballing the Tekton Moabs, but I’d rather not expend the energy/time/money if they are not a whole lot better than my Tannoy’s. Does anyone have experience with both Tannoy and Tekton? If so, are Moabs a worthwhile change, or stick with what I have? The other thing I wonder is if Moabs are ok for my 15x20 room with an 8ft ceiling?

Thanks!

There is NO weakest link.  You have an excellently balanced system.

You don't mention what it is you're trying to achieve, other than scratching the upgraditis itch.

What you describe will be, at best, a lateral move (different, but at best lateral).

If you have $$ burning a hole in your pocket, I'd put them into acoustically treating the room.
+1 @headphonedreams Take a look at the Fyne line-up.  I don't think height will be an issue with them.
