Millercarbon I would have to bring the Krell in tow to hear your Moabs as I would be crying hearing your wimpy 50 wpc tube integrated choke out at the music and listening levels I listen to.

The 208's do look nice, and don't sound bad, they could sound so much better with just a few $ in parts@ rikkitik what would you change in f208's crossover and why? |
I would upgrade the quality of components. It's tricky business though. The esr/dcr values of the upgraded components can throw the "balance" out of whack, so that needs to be accounted for. The 208 uses small guage, high dcr coils, and iirc, at least one electrolytic in the signal path. The transparency of the 208, imho, would greatly benefit from better quality components. |
I have seen and heard the Tektons for years at RMAF as well as Revel and am surprised (others may not be) they are mentioned together at all. They seem so different sounding to me. I believe the Revel to be a far superior speaker in engineering and more importantly in fine sound quality. When I see 'unique' engineering and logic I wonder why I don't see it elsewhere. I remember thinking the Tektons looked a bit garage-built in a woodshop and the sound never did it for me. Different strokes... Please, for your sanity, pick the Revels and enjoy for a long time! I hope all the Tekton owners love and enjoy their speakers as well; that's why we got our stuff anyway. |
