Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers


We have had many discussions/arguments over tekton speakers in the past, mainly involving a couple posters who thought their $4000 tektons sounded better than the highest price Wilson’s and other high budget speakers.

In the latest Stereophile magazine, they did a review of the $30,000 tekton’s. In this Steteophile issue, they rate these $30,000 tekton’s as class B. When you look at the other speakers that are in the class B section, you will notice most of these speakers range in price from $5000-$8000. So it looks like you have to spend $30,000 on a pair of tekton’s to equal a pair of $5000 Klipsch Forte IV’s sound quality. 
If I compare these $30,000 class B tekton’s, to some of the class A speakers, there are some class A speakers for 1/2 the price (Dutch & Dutch 8C, Goldenear triton reference), or other class A speakers that are cheaper (Magico A5, Kef blade 2).

Yep, my beef if any was / is with the self appointed brand ambassador. i think it is wonderful ALL the choices we have in audio, including direct to consumer, etc…

Carry on !

Let’s be very clear, he put a lot of various products on radar with effusive praise before he had even heard them…. Like i say, pick your supposed expert (s) carefully. There are lots of small sample size audiophiles out there… and more gear changers…dac dejour comes readily to mind…. Finally…integrity matters… Duke busted Chuck editing and deleting posts so as to call me a “ liar “. I don’t hate him…i actually pity his lack of ethics and self esteem. He got banned for good reasons. 

Best to ALL in the pursuit of music.
