Why People Like Tekton


I saw this You Tube clip yesterday and I really think this guy gave one of the most well-reasoned explanations of why some people gave up their hyper-detailed "audiophile" speakers for Tekton.  I've never heard them myself, but I think the same reasoning applies to many other brands like Harbeth, Spendor, Wharfdale, etc.  I personally feel the way he does, but I think he expressed it better than I would have.  Eventually, at some point in the journey, you may get tired of listening to the singer's saliva and chairs creaking and just want to relax and hear music in a more natural manner.and not with your ear 6" from the singer's mouth.  Or maybe you do.  Anyway - take a watch if you have the time.  And I'm guessing most of you do.

To me hyper detail is not desirable. I attend lots of live music events and hyper detail never hits my ears. However, some folks have taste that enjoy having equipment That can bring the tiniest recording details to the listener. I have never heard a tekton speaker but from comments I have read one thing that consistently stands out is the level of performance and perceived value.

Hyper-detail alone is just one part of the whole. Acoustics have a lot to do with that like most things along with the gear. We want it all and we want it now!
