What do other reviewers say about these speakers? Maybe Stereophile is an outlier.
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).

I've heard a couple pairs of Tektons and they were not my cup of tea. But I think it makes perfect sense for the designer to create any speaker at any price point he thinks worthwhile. That's what great engineers and artists do -- they stretch themselves.
I am pretty sure no one missed your post. It probably sounded familiar. Blah blah acoustics blah blah embedded... yeah. We know.

I don't need to read more of your words. I bet there are many here just tired tired tired of your broken record comments. You have so much time on your hands that you're lucky to be patronized. |
@mahgister I will not respond to the word "asshole." That is abusive and violates the terms of the forum. Others on this thread: I will not reply to this member again. Sorry that this intervened in the discussion. Self-control is not everyone's strong suit. |
