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).

@thecarpathian Way more than 40 Wilson Audio speakers for sale on Hifishark.  I guess all their speakers are crap too?  BTW, perhaps you failed to notice that almost all the Tekton's for sale are their low end models?  There was exactly 1 Moab, 0 Ulf's, and 1 Encore for sale.  Wow, all those unhappy owners that must be dumping their speakers have found a secret site to do that at?
