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 had my Moabs (regular version) for 2 years and after 30 years in this hobby, having owned a dozen major brand speakers, consider them to be the the best of the bunch. They check all the audiophile boxes for me and come very close to the scale, dynamics and immediacy of hearing live music. They also readily reveal any changes in your upstream setup.

Admittedly, I am a budget audiophile - the Moabs were my most expensive speaker purchase. BUT my well-heeled brother, who owns Wilson MAXX, says the Moabs are every bit as musically satisfying as his Wilsons. So much so, that he bought the Encores for his second home.
