| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer I find it interesting how audiophiles criticise klipsch for being "too bright" but don't like mcintosh for being too warm and prefer their amps to bright?? Very confusing! | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Mac amps tend to have low damping so speakers that need alot of damping might not sound good. All about component matching. My mc462 sounds fantastic on my tektons... let the haters begin. LOL. | |
| How long ago did you catch the bug? It was about 1973 my friend got a Harman Karon integrated amp and a pair of AR speakers (don't remember the model) but loved the sound and discovered I need that in my life | |
| Auto-Tune, Snake Oil, Fuses, Cables, Room Correction, Best DAC, Measurements & Tekton ROFLMAO. That about sums it up!! | |
| Big Below 15k used that can play loud as heck I have a pair of tekton moab and svs sb16ultra sub driven by mcintosh mc462. When I play that kind of music with no eq there is so much bass I worry about damaging my house. | |

| Focal, B&W or Martin Logan As a true audiophile i only choose speakers on sound not looks! | |
| My Experience With Tekton I can attract alot of haters.... not only do I have tekton design moab but I also drive them with a mcintosh amp....let the hating begin.lol. | |

Yet Some "audiophiles" will spend 20 or 30k on speakers because of how they look even if there might be 4k speakers that sound better because they are "ugly". seems being... | |
| Stratospheric audio gear prices I think in audio this is mostly true with speakers. But it is a choice. Some people don't mind spending 20 or 30k for speakers not just for the sound but because they have pretty cabinets. As opposed to tekton speakers where you can get just as go... | |
| MSRP, diferentiation and the illusion of value Yet another thread that leads to tekton bashers. I own tekton moab's it is obvious by some of the comments who has actually heard them and those that associate price to sound quality. | |
| My NAD 3020 D proves your Class D tropes are wrong Class D is used in most powered subs which is not to say it can produce high frequency well.
