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.

I have the Tekton Double Impact SE. They sound pretty good to me with my tube amp. Maybe I am not as smart as the other audiophiles here. In my other system I have Vandersteen speakers. Are they sub par too? BTW I have heard that Tektons are ugly. That may be because many people don't leave the grills on their speakers. With the grills on the Tektons look like about 95% of all the tower speakers out there????

- Dude sells Wilson for 1k more than what he paid.

- Dude buys Moab which goes head to toe against any Wilson, Schweikert, etc w.r.t sound quality at a fraction of the cost. Moab is butt ugly, but, so is any Wilson (ghastly, ugly creatures), i.e., dude didn’t do any worse in the aesthetics department..

......No idea what the Dude is whining about.....

 

My comment was that the Wilson’s that I owned and had set up was in a much larger room. I bought the Moabs because they did fill the room with music. Like I said I had a much larger room then.

Now the Wilson would be perfect in THIS room. So, never sell anything was my initial comment.

By the way, I have some friends sit and listen with me. They told me that they never heard a system that sounded as good as this one ever. Even in HIFI shops. So I am not moaning here. I will keep my Moabs for year to come.

I am experiencing live music in my Livingroom almost every day.

Bill, I feel you I had a 2 pr. of Ascendo Design Z Systems and sold them. I'm looking for a 3rd pr. now!!!!!!!

Take care,
