What will you be listening to in the months ahead waiting for your Moabs? |
That’s a very unusual decision as they are completely different in presentation of music, construction and design philosophy … look forward to your listening impressions . |
The good news is Tekton has a home trial deal. |
|
The Tekton Owner's Group on FB is pretty good. Real nice mix of experienced and open to learning types. Several have come over, and one is planning a trip up from SoCal end of October. Real friendly group of people. Private group, but pretty sure the password is, "Waiting on Eric" or words to that effect. (Running joke on how long the wait.....;)

If you aren't disappointed then be ready for people thinking you are millercarbon or a paid shill.
I forgot why I've been a member here for almost 20 years and never post, it's pretty toxic.
Hope you enjoy the Tektons, I've been thinking of selling my Spatial M3 Triode Masters and getting some Tektons but I would never share my experience here. |
Don’t be biased, don’t be anxious, just let the new speakers break in for a couple hundred hours.
Let us know, and keep us informed.
I’m sure the open, airy so und will be great!
make sure you take the time with placement, away from wall, close to wall, feet apart, distance to your listening position, etc etc.
keep us up do date!
Those new speakers will be amazing, and have a better “presence” than the old Wilson’s.
Keep us informed!”” |
well, with the Chronosonic….time flies.. |
The Sophias were great in their day. Many people enjoy Moabs. Did you dislike your Sophias? Did you like the Moabs when you demo’d them?
My motto about gear: buy what you want, like what you like and its ok to sell anything you like for no particular reason. Buying a piece of gear isn’t a life sentence…. |
I probably wouldn't have sold the Chronosonic so quickly. You should have given them more than two months.

What version of the Wilson Sophia Speakers? |
’’Call me Ishmael. Some years ago - never mind how long precisely - having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me in audio, I thought I would sell my Wilson Sophia speakers and see the watery part of the world."
All the best,

"The best speaker is the one YOU personally like!"
What a concept!
Now I get it! All good audiophiles are supposed to stress and fret neurotically over every little thing, or even better act like they don’t really care at all. To build a system by their rules is to ride the Loopy-Logic Rollercoaster where the tickets cost a small fortune but you never let on you enjoyed the ride. It shoulda been longer. Shorter. Faster. Slower. Louder. Quieter. Flatter. Loopier. Nope, sorry. Can’t get no loopier! We do it for the love of it, but must never let on that we actually do love it. Here we go loop-de-loo! Here we go loop-de-lie!

"...Today I sold a pair of Wilson Sophia Speakers..."
Did you need the money? |
My first rule is never sell a speaker before trying the new one! |
Way back around 1971 Rolling Stone magazine ran a series of articles about HiFi gear. The speaker article stated that the best speaker was the ONE that YOU personally liked! Quite the egalitarian response! That remark has stuck with me all these years! Years later in Harry Pearson's TAS review of the DQ10 he scoffed at such an idea! TAS then was quite the force in the HiFi underground press (1975). |
Paradise burned or Cape. dissapontment |
IF you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there…. |
Am I going to be disappointed?
Probably. |
Did you sell your Wilson’s for the same price as you purchased the Moabs?
Difference in sound isn’t always bad. They question will depend if you enjoy the difference. |
I for one will be interested in hearing what you think. |
