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).

Kennymacc.....It should,some speakers are easy to resell and others you have to give away.Personally as  I try lots of gear,stay away from stuff thats looks bad,sounds bad or just doesnt have good resell value.

  The more things change the more they stay the same,lol,If I recall the last big debate on this brand( for those not here) we had member MillerCarbon and a select other few  shilling the heck out of Tekton for unknown resaons.Day after day never ending.The owner of the company dove right in the discussion at one point and threatened some individuals if I recall correctly,was big fun watching the hoopla.Anyway I see Tekton is displaying at Axpona 2024 in room 328,for those going see ya there.Cant wait to hear the new offerings this company has........

   I suggest the moderators pull this tread off before it gets really out of hand not that it hasnt already..We have seen the owner of Tekton in the past threaten users on this site ( an open forum mind you) with legal actions so no surprise .Hes interjecting on this tread now so whats to come?.Really bad business practices but  when an audio company states they out perform speakers 10 times their value and thats what Tekton did they should expect blow back from audiophiles,just my opinion.

wood finish????..lipstick on a pig...but what does that have to do with a bad review of the speakers from Stereophile?
