Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers

fleschler, How can you say all this without having auditioned the Moabs or Ulfberhts?

Albert Von Schweikert was focused on the Ulfberht model. It was the only speaker we talked about. I’ve said it already... the Ulfberht gives nothing away to the Focal Grand Utopia - I believe that’s $.03 to the $1.00 [$.0357 to the $1.00 to be exact].

You say "I don’t know ANY speaker manufacturer who would or could take a multi-driver dynamic speaker and simply change it to perform the "same" at 2, 4 or 8 ohms." The facts are you don’t know us, our sound, and you don’t know me (something in your best interest going forward) - this is what we do and it’s how we roll.

@tektondesign You did not answer my question how you can design (redesign) a speaker to behave optimally at three different impedences. 

I would not compare your Ulfberht to Focals as I have heard neither of them and my friends and I are not partial to Focal speakers, so maybe your speakers would be more amenable to us. 

I reserve judgement but you are taking a very abrasive attitude.   If you think that your $30K speaker is equal or superior to the Von Schweikert speakers at $65K, you are not mistaken but being dishonest.  The technology and quality of construction is superior.  

I've heard inexpensively constructed speakers sound great, among them the Acora Acoustics which have two speakers in the same range as your $30K.   I've heard them with lesser equipment and they are outstanding in their delivery of tight, deep, textured bass, very dynamic and with no negative qualities.  They apparently utilize a few inexpensive paper drivers.  I've heard that the materials cost is as low as $7K for the SC speakers.  They are not my flavor but I could live with them as well as easy to drive.  Physically, they are very attractive.  

fleschler, I'm being assertive. I have designed "a speaker to behave optimally at three different impedances." You'd have to travel here or buy all six needed to hear if for yourself. 

@tektondesign 

Big time cop out.  

The designer can't explain his design.

Do we ask all designers to prove their designs on a public forum? I was not a fan of that one member who was forcing Tekton down everyone's throats in a very crass manner. That's like letting Kanye West continue to represent Adidas. But let's not take our anger out on the 'shoe' itself.

I don't know but I get the feeling that many of us are letting our distaste for the said individual influence our views on Tekton. I think it's a great American brand providing audiophile quality products at all price points. The amount of scrutiny and outright hatred that Tekton receives on this site will make any designer defensive. We're all human and this level of negative energy will affect any of us badly.

Having said that, a little humility shown by the Tekton owner won't do any harm either, just sayin' :)
