Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
If you thought it through for 30 seconds you’d discern the advantages to this approach.

Box losses [4 leaking holes] are easy to predict and measure. Furthermore, once we get into the 5-10 watt range the air pressure jets in and out of them at speeds above Mach1 and they get audible. Hard to fathom a top-notch reviewer not discerning...

We always offered 1/16" thick x 1.5" diameter neoprene pads for clients that aren't using the feet - I'm confident Steve Guttenberg's pair had pads on them and weren't leaking high pressure air in-and-out of the cabinets.

gdnbob, Stop. Respectfully, your narrative is not grounded in truth and reality. Do your homework. Generally speaking, these types of modifications require slight adjustments and usually take an hour or two to correctly implement. I'd do a video b...

yakbob, Thanks for a post grounded in truth and reality.

The ceramic version is post submission for review to Stereophile. Rogier did state that his main speaker has been the original Moab pre Covid [2020].

audition_audio, I guess that's one way of seeing it. You go on remaining skeptical and I'll hope you'll stumble on the opportunity to listen to a pair of Moab's in the future; if we're both lucky it'll be a one-off custom version with some oddball...

yyzsantabarbara, Google beryllium hand tools or Ping putter. People handle the tools daily. Don’t eat it, don’t breath it, don’t rub it on your skin, don’t sharpen it and use it for self mutilation (unless you want funny warts).

audition_audio, this is called 'product development' and I've been at this for over three decades.

The facts are some audiophiles want a fabric domed tweeter, some want a planar ribbon, and some want/love the sound of beryllium. We're into filling customers needs and we offer all options.

No doubt that a person with a personality disorder can also be an audiophile. I hear music can be soothing to these folks : )

fleschler, I am a humble person. I believe and adhere to time, place and manner. When I get word that a new thread is unfolding on Audiogon that has a few of the usual suspects painting me and our products in a false light I'm obligated to respond... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
mapman, consider this... audiophiles tend to be very consistent and predictable in their listening habits. Our larger models are already hovering over 95dB with a single Watt. Next, there are quality amplifiers produced today with low distortion n...

markor6457, Thanks for sharing! Loved hearing about your brothers speakers too. You are probably aware that we love Wilson Audio - they’re across town from us. I’ve had three of their past employees on my team.
