Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers


We have had many discussions/arguments over tekton speakers in the past, mainly involving a couple posters who thought their $4000 tektons sounded better than the highest price Wilson’s and other high budget speakers.

In the latest Stereophile magazine, they did a review of the $30,000 tekton’s. In this Steteophile issue, they rate these $30,000 tekton’s as class B. When you look at the other speakers that are in the class B section, you will notice most of these speakers range in price from $5000-$8000. So it looks like you have to spend $30,000 on a pair of tekton’s to equal a pair of $5000 Klipsch Forte IV’s sound quality. 
If I compare these $30,000 class B tekton’s, to some of the class A speakers, there are some class A speakers for 1/2 the price (Dutch & Dutch 8C, Goldenear triton reference), or other class A speakers that are cheaper (Magico A5, Kef blade 2).

Can someone translate this? 

@audioman58  I have no skin in this game, I don't own and will never own Tekton speakers but I am curious as to what your  factual basis of these 2 statements are:

"Payed  for reviews."

"Now average sales at best"

Thanks in advance for providing the detailed factual specifics

@audioman58

You didn’t provide facts to back up your statements specific to Tekton. Stating that you are in an audio club and worked in the business are not facts to substantiate your below contentions.

"Payed for reviews."

"Now average sales at best"

I’ll hazzard a guess that neither you nor anyone in these clubs have any access to Tekton business records to then make these specific claims.
