Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
Arent many substantiated claims in this pursuit.   
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
I support the little guy if he makes a good product and doesnt act like a tool. Is Erin the one who is so stressed out? I thought that Eric was the victim? I am so confused about which adult male I am supposed to feel sorry for.  We are just gener... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
Simple boxes are simple boxes regardless of who is designing them. Right angles, parallel surfaces, large speakers fronts, etc all involve simpler manufacturing techniques that are less expensive to make. They affect the sound and are done not bec...

Perhaps but inexpensive boxes are often problematic enclosures. In many cases more expensive boxes presuppose some additional processes to reduce resonance. There is often much more to an expensive cabinet  than what is actually visible.

Oh my goodness what a pathetic video. Dude you are not doing yourself any favors. Why you cant step back and see this is beyond me.

You can call it product development, but the fact remains that in order to get the most from each type of driver you must do a great deal of modification to the crossover. This is not a one size fits all scenario. I remain skeptical but then again...

Well this statement is a bit concerning. So with each driver change you also do the requisite reengineering often required? Doesnt inspire much confidence.   
What's up with the price of Vintage equipment?
It is often very difficult to judge vintage equipment because they often need work due to the age of the parts. I bought a pair of Altec Valencia 846As just to listen to and then sell. Any judgment regarding the sound of this speaker is unfair unt... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
Of course you are correct. The problem, at least from my perspective, is singing accolades ad nauseum regarding the latest and greatest giant killer components. This never ends up being the actual case. Reviewers are among the worst in this regard.   
Excellent Solid State or Hybrid Monoblocks Recommendations
I always liked the Aerial speakers that I have heard. Get more things right than many other dynamic designs.   
Geddes multiple subwoofer method - 3 subs vice 4
I have never heard streaming come close to analog. I think that redbook sounds better than streaming. Even heard a difference in file types. Until they get a handle on high def. streaming I am not interested.  
Excellent Solid State or Hybrid Monoblocks Recommendations
I know that some models of the Aerial speaker line tend to like a good deal of solid state power. I am not sure if your speakers fit into this category. I could never find a solid state amp for under $ 40K that I liked. I did like the Trilogy mono... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
A case can be made that any speaker with great swings in impedance is not a well designed speaker as a whole. Yes there are solid state amps that will drive a 2 ohm load, but why limit the user to solid state and why design in this fashion? Makes ...

So true about ported speakers.   
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
The tekton guy needs to stay out of these discussions. Have no interest in any of his speakers but now I wouldnt buy a pair just due to his demeanor. And yes I have heard them. Sound just like you would think given the design and the parts. Put th...
