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 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.

All these guys doing technical data driven reviews have very technical backgrounds. What I have gathered from watching Erin’s channel is he is a “Rocket scientist” focused on systems testing under contract (indirect probably) as he is not allowed to talk about his work. I have friends in a similar fields that are also not allowed to discuss their work for obvious reasons. 
 

Gene from audioholics and Amir from ASR  have telecommunications backgrounds or some kind I think. They have stated before where and what they worked on but I can’t remember. 
 

Anyway it is irrelevant but these are all very smart people as this hobby attracts a certain type of personality IMO.
