My issue is trying to decide on which to Order??? As a Rock and Roll person only. Pink Floyd, Rush, YES, AC/DC etc. MOAB with BE upgrade or Encore. Eric has... | |
| Moving up???? Thanks to all, I really appreciate it. I love my Tekton DI's, hard to beat them for my Rock and Roll music. There are so many choices out there. I just looked at Sound Advice per recommendations, on the Usher Mini 2, as it's in my price range. Ne... | |

| Tekton speaker comparison thread Just spent some time on the phone with Eric at Tekton, He suggested as I was into R&R exclusively ' that the MOAB, with BE tweeter would be the better way to go. The encors are very accurate speakers, but, at this time more suited to classical... | |

| speaker guidance for R&R mostly Hey, Thank you. Had an old pair of maggies YEARS ago and really liked them. Didn't even have a sub then. I believe the model was MG 2A or something similar. Listening to pink Floyd (money) was so accurate and impressive. Hadn't really thought abou... | |

| speaker guidance for R&R mostly Thanks all for the updates. I would have to go back and look at the review dates for the ATC's, to see if maybe the older tweeter for review or the newer was used? Thanks, didn't even think about that. Also read and reviewed several articles on th... | |
| speaker guidance for R&R mostly You have a very Valid point. Thank you, I did a lot of reading and investigating yesterday on the ATC scm-40. The New price used to be around 8K, and your post shows $5999, a nice price drop for new. As I read further, several of the articles real... | |
| Can you have too much speaker presence? As I currently have a post about looking at New or Used speakers,it's interesting this post came up. I had a small second room set up 13x13" give or take and a pair of Aria948 Focals, with nice electronics. Too much bass, no matter what I tried. ... | |
