I attended the show and made a point to seek out the Tekton room. When I arrived I discovered that it was the Positive Feedback room and that they were demoing various low cost speaker systems.
I asked them to set ip the DI's and they allowed me to take the sweet spot as they moved them into place. They sounded pretty good considering the small room and inexpensive electronics.
I have previously heard the DI's at my local dealer in a large dedicated room with low powered tube gear. The sound was lush and magical, Despite the low cost ($3k) of the speakers.
My favorite sound from the show was the Sanders speakers and amps. These were simply in a different league for "reasonably" priced gear in terms of imaging, speed, bass quality and midrange purity. Other standouts were the Harbeths (midrange purity) and the phenomenal Elac Andantes for $5k. I include my favorites so that you can judge what kind of sound I am drawn toward when appraising a system. At home I own large Maggies.
The Tektons really are something special, and I wish they would demo them more at shows.
