Wilson to Tekton to ????

Ok, here we go again.  I started 2 threads a few years ago.  "What did I do?" was the title of the first one. Look it up if interested.

This is what I did. I sold my used Wilson Sophia Series II for $1000 more than I paid for them. Then I spent most of that money on Tekton Moab speakers.   The system was in a really large room and the Moabs did not look out of place and the fact the actual speakers were higher from the floor gave me a sense of "Being There".  I loved them.

Now I moved to a smaller house, room.  These Moabs now look like I has 2 standing closets in the corners of my room. Black in color does not help.  But the sound is still very nice and I plan on buying the Townsend bases for them.

But I know in my heart that the Wilson speakers would be perfect in this room.

Here is what I have learned. Never Sell Anything.

Can you get your MOABs re-finished or vinyl-wrapped in white? The black color is very imposing. A white finish would lighten up the space.

Not in a Million Years ,from the cabinet ,which the Tekton just a ringing box ,

the Xover uses inferior parts ,as well as drivers vs Wilson 

sonicly start with micro,macro detail the Tekton is miles behind .i have rebuilt both Xovers ,the Wilson’s have pretty good quality , the tektons low budget would be a kind way to state  it , no Thank you .

What other speaker company decades ago used a multiple set of the same speakers to get a better midrange sound that is similar to what tekton is doing? Bose! 
IMO, and the original poster states this, they moved to a larger room and instead of buying a larger pair of Wilson’s to fill the room for a larger cost, they went cheap with big speakers to fill the room. A tough choice is to have a much better smaller speaker in a larger room or get a cheaper speaker with  poorer quality but fills the room with sound.

Decades ago, people would buy Cerwin Vega speakers to fill big rooms but were terrible cheap speakers.
