| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers Speakers all pretty much do the same thing. People choose what they like and how much to pay based on whatever it is that matters to them. Ginormous speakers that cost less than other less humongous designs certainly will have a niche. That’s Tekt... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers MI found a good local deal on a used pair of Sonus Faber Concerto Domus. Lovely sounding and looking speakers. My wife made no gripes about these in the family room. They are a delight and definitely ooze class and refinement. 👍 | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers My opinion is Tekton started out (like Zu) offering some unique products for very competitive prices to the "high end market" , but once established in the "high end" market, vendors then also attempt to milk it by offering more expensive high pro... | |
| Streamer with PLEX-like UI and companion app? Or sending PLEX stream through DAC? I have been using Plex for many years. Did a shootout and moved to Roon. I still use Plexamp. Message me if desired to discuss. | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? Efficiency is not important to me in that good quality full range efficient speakers are large and bulky.

| AI (Audiogon Intelligence) It’s true the computer itself can’t “feel” but it can synthesize data. Data provided by others about music can be synthesized to allow the computer to “think” similarly. What we feel is based on what we think so…. | |
| AI (Audiogon Intelligence) @tonywinga Neither of those is a barrier to AI. The interesting part will be how it is biased compared to others. We all are only able to process and draw conclusions based on the information available to us and same with a computer. | |
| TAS. The Absolute Sound? Could it be it’s not quite so absolute these days? Things ain’t what they used to be. | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? @lonemountain +1. | |
| DSP? Does it really do that much??? You can lead a horse to water..... Here is a fairly easy thing to try in Roon that can deliver big results and demonstrate the power of DSP done well in a particular application. Can you listen to Roon with headphones? If so what model? For t... | |
| A.I. music The good news is if you ever wonder what might have happened if The Beatles and Pink Floyd merged to form a supergroup in 1970, you may be able to find out very soon. Or what if Bach joined Led Zeppelin? Wouldn't that be interesting! |
