Quality issues with Tekton speakers....
That was another option.... if I could get a response from the guy. I really wanted to have grilles and I asked more than twice about the grilles with no answer. Now I have to modify the grilles to get them to work. 
Quality issues with Tekton speakers....
Well said Bcgator...The speakers should have been correct BEFORE LEAVING his shop.... it's called QUALITY CONTROL. Do you want to pay $2,500 for a pair of speakers, then they arrive and have a NOTICEABLY different color between the woofers ON THE ... 
Quality issues with Tekton speakers....
Grilles should absolutely be included for $2,500 as almost EVERY manufacturer includes a grill with their speakers. You are also missing the issue of the driver color not matching - this is an easy quality issue that should have been caught before... 
Tekton custom grills
I was sent grilles for my Pendragons and my Pendragons had no holes to put the grilles in. I asked Eric SEVERAL times how the grilles attached to the speaker... I assumed since there were obviously no holes in the front of my speakers, that it was... 
JL Labs vs. REL
REL still makes the most musical subwoofers out there. I have owned about 6 different REL subwoofers and they were all incredible. Plus, different gain settings for music and movies... awesome. 
How do you determine how much to spend on speakers
Anyone who tells you to put most into your speakers is clueless. It all starts at the source. IF you have just a "decent" speaker, the source is what will make all the difference.

is ayre qb-9 dac better than cx7e mp?
My LINN Akurate DS playing 24/192 WAV sounds better than any CD player that I have owned and others that I have compared it to - easily. But this is connected via ethernet cable, sending raw data to the DAC, not a USB or other connection. 
What speakers play the loudest cleanly ?
Dynaudio... 
CD upgrade.
No, I had the older CD-128 I think it was. Now, they have the CD-168. I paid under $2k for my CD-128 new, w/ warranty. Excellent player for the money. 
Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no?
Music is not intended for multichannel. Surround sound is for movies. 
CD upgrade.
I thought my Raysonic tube CD player was one of the best out there for the money... 
Magico Q7 . . . wow
BMW is the new joke at the Honda and Toyota dealers. I have a very good friend that has owned 4 different BMWs and got so tired of them being at the dealer for reapirs he finally bought a new Toyota and never looked back.Ever heard of Edmunds and ... 
Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no?
No, just stating facts... 
Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k?
I truly believe that someone in this hobby that spends "more than they should" likely appreciates the gear more. My long time dealer of 20+ years had these people come into his store all the time, rolling up in a $90k BMW or Mercedes (the new Ford...
