Why People Like Tekton


I saw this You Tube clip yesterday and I really think this guy gave one of the most well-reasoned explanations of why some people gave up their hyper-detailed "audiophile" speakers for Tekton.  I've never heard them myself, but I think the same reasoning applies to many other brands like Harbeth, Spendor, Wharfdale, etc.  I personally feel the way he does, but I think he expressed it better than I would have.  Eventually, at some point in the journey, you may get tired of listening to the singer's saliva and chairs creaking and just want to relax and hear music in a more natural manner.and not with your ear 6" from the singer's mouth.  Or maybe you do.  Anyway - take a watch if you have the time.  And I'm guessing most of you do.

Brian, remember i had stacked ESL w Decca ribbons for years….. ;-) i don’t think my reference system gives up much detail in service of the music, but who knows…maybe that chick with the Stradivarius..is deaf… ?

Chuckle….

;-) Brian…i don’t think anything in your system falls into the hyper detailed camp…

I think they have a place in the market. I never comment on gear I have not heard. I now have about 8 hours listening to various models in solid rooms and systems. Not my cup of tea, but I understand why some like them. Carry on. Note a careful look at my 3 systems pages will reveal 8 or so pairs of speakers, none hyper detailed as that leading edge exaggeration is distortion….
