Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation
Tekton has come out with 2 new speakers recently.  It would be interesting to talk to Eric from Tekton on how he rates his new speakers vs the Pendragon.  Speaker comments are so subjective.  What is brilliant to one persons ears does not mean tha... 
In wall vs regular speakers?
It really depends on what your listening requirements are going to be.  If it is mostly two channel than at least you can tower the two front.  How big is your basement HT room?  I had all in walls in my own 17x21 dedicated theater room with two s... 
Vandersteen 1Ci, Tekton Lore Reference, or Fritzspeaks Grove for a small room
I hear some negativity toward Tekton.  Yes, They don't really respond to emails.  However, if you call Tekton, Eric, the owner and builder will answer the phone and provide you all of the information that you need.  They also are just introducing ... 
Request advice-need "brighter" speakers than Totem Hawks
I listened a lot to the Hawks and loved them for the price and size of them.  Now, for the price, which is even less than the Hawk, you may want to consider Tekton.  They just came out with a couple of new speakers.  The Pendragon's totally outper... 
Why pay so much for super high end?
I own a pair of Wilson Audio Duette 2's that cost $23k.  Don't ask me why I bought them I just did.  Before I did I was really looking at Tekton Pendragon for $2k.  I think there are plenty of boutique speaker makers out there that you can find an...

Recos for entry level Bookshelf speaker $400-750 for 21yo nieces first system?
I went to the Newport Beach audio show and listened to a ton of very high end speakers.  Then I came to this one room with Silverline Audio Minuet Supreme speakers.  I was blown away how such a small speaker could sound so good.  I ended up buying... 
Need Suggestions for speakers up to $15K new/used
I went to the Newport Beach Audio show in June and the best speakers I heard were the Raidho and Nola's so it is interesting that you have picked those speakers out as your favorites.  Unfortunately, the speakers they had on display were beyond my...

Upgrading Power Service In New Home Build
I am building a new home in Arizona.  Unfortunately, the original developer only provided service for a 200 amp sub-division.  I needed a 400 amp system which was part of my original architectural guidelines.  Once that was established, I went to ...

Raven Audio Tube amps
I ended up buying an upgraded version of the Raven MK2 Reflection integrated amp at 58 wpc.  Despite loving  Legacy and Tekton, I purchased Wilson audio duette 2's for my two channel room.  I met Dave Thomson at the Newport audio show and he is th... 
Silverline Speakers Minuet Supreme Plus - Sonatina MKIV
I went to the Newport Beach audio show and heard all of these speakers that I could not afford.  Then for some reason I went into the Silverline room.  I ended up going back to the room 3 times.  I really thought the sound for a 600-700 speaker wa... 
James Audio vs Triad In Wall Speakers
I still have to decide on Subs.  For the theater room if I do not use in walls, I was thinking about Powersound.  I talked to the owner and he previously created and developed the SVS line of subs before he left the company.  I am thinking they ha...
