So people can formulate such strong opinions on two speakers they haven't heard in his listening room and then question his outcome? How is that even reasonably possible? At the very least don't you to have to hear something in order to assess the sound quality or is extraordinary extrapolation all that's required? Charles
People saying the Tektons are sh.t I don’t think have heard them. Are they world beaters. Dunno my DIs were pretty damn good but crappy speakers they ain’t.
The point is the OP heard both speakers in his room. I'm assuming that others skeptical/critical of his comments have not. How can they be so adamant in their opposition unless they have predetermined opinions. Charles

Here is my last entry to this post. I set up the Moab speakers today. I been running them for about 4 hours. No, they are not broken in No, they are not the same as the Wilsons.
What did I get? First impressions are: Bigger sound stage All the instruments are still there when I turn them down. No fatigue from the speakers, yet. More bass, effortless. Midrange is very natural. I am no longer looking down when playing music. I am looking up!
I have AR Ref 3 pre amp, Ref 75 power amp, DSA Phono 1 pre amp. VPI Classic 1 table. Wyred4Sound 10th anniversary DAC.
I am not a reviewer. You can tell because I do not have the language to reveal what I am hearing.
But right now I have my Pre amp at level 7. that right 7. It goes up to what? 70 right. I am in the kitchen the next room and I can hear everything. These speakers do not need big power. I bet they would sound great on a PrimaLuna Integrated at 36 WPC. I should sell my expensive AR gear and put more money in my pocket.
Bass, I use Lyle Lovette's She Already Made Up Her Mind as a test track. There are some really low bass notes and then there is a LOWER note that my Wilson's whould only show me a HIGH listening levels. This tells me that they want more power than 75WPC of tube power. Probably 150WPC of Solid State class AB power amp.
The music just flows out and is warm in my system. It could be wires and all tubes but I like it. If I want to cool it off I could do some tube rolling later. In the meantime I will let the speakers break in, get my spikes installed and work on position. ( Put them right where the Wilson's were, I taped the rug).
So, some of you were interested in my opinion. Others are not. I am keeping these speakers. They will only get better from here and I like here so, I cut up the boxes.
Good bye."
- Maybe it is time to put a period on this thread.
Wow. You people are pathetic human beings. Now resorting to saying the guy ran into money problems, it’s the only answer that makes sense to feeble beings who can’t just let the guy be happy with his purchase. Do moderators exist here? Your forum is toxic af.

True to his word, he has not posted since.
And now, here is my last entry to this thread:
Wow. You people are pathetic human beings. @blkwrkwgn you are right this is a bit of a toxic place.
If only those who pride themselves on being here so long could see themselves as others see them.
TIMELINE..10/01..today i sold my Wilson speakers...ordered Tektons.......10/02..states the tektons are on fed ex truck being delivered......10/05....gives review of speakers.....What happened to months of backorders and delays to get speakers...What happened to 100s of hours for breakin according to manufacture .......shill shill shill
It would be the humane thing to do...It shouldn’t take long considering the flimsy cabinet construction and you might recoup a few $ selling the cheap Chinese drivers on eBay
