Blue Note Award: Tekton Moab Floorstanding Speaker Review

For virtually everyone on the planet, this past calendar year brought a range of challenges and sorrows; 10/10 would not recommend. Hooray for 2021, with its promise of health, actual instead of virtual hugs, and a return to normalcy. When looking back on our collective annus horribilis (Latin for dumpster fire), I consider the arrival of a pair of Tekton Moab speakers in my listening room a welcome ray of light. Like many audiophiles confined to home by the pandemic, I’ve found much meaning and comfort in music these past nine months. With my photography business on the skids, there was suddenly occasion to burrow into a couple of thousand standout tracks, old and new. I almost didn’t miss the roughly two dozen concerts I would’ve attended in a normal year. I think that’s in part because, well, if any stereo speakers I’ve ever heard sound just like live music, it’s the Moabs.
