Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers

miijostyn - Respectfully, 18 product of the year awards, clients with Grammy Awards, a handful of respected electro-acoustical patents [including one of the simplest schematics in existence with four common parts] and we have to deal with preschool playground nonsense on Audiogon. So you folks don’t understand or like what we do - move on.

thecarpathian, Respectfully, when it down spirals into personal defamation and slander of my work I’ll be on here. Furthermore, I’ll report it.

Eric Alexander - audio designer

I’ talked to Erik he is always kind and humble to me. I own 2 of his speakers ps 12 and double impact. I am happy to own them.

The facts are Tekton Design is a disruptive product that delivers audiopihile quality at an affordable price - eighteen product of the year awards proves this. It should be obvious that Stereophile has no choice to rate the reviewed Moab Be as a 'class B' loudspeaker because it isn't a visual piece of art that seconds as a loudspeaker. The Moab Be is a form following function design with zero frill or flare. Offering stunning visual art and flare that seconds as a loudspeaker isn't my business model; there are no fewer than two dozen companies covering that base and it's of no interest to me.

I've heard a couple pairs of Tektons and they were not my cup of tea. But I think it makes perfect sense for the designer to create any speaker at any price point he thinks worthwhile. That's what great engineers and artists do -- they stretch themselves.

But you miss as most people what i spoke about ... Is it my poor mastery of English that does not help ? Probably ...

But it seems most people had no idea of what is acoustics ( not mere room acoustic only ) impact on a system well embedded and the huge difference between before and after..

I am pretty sure no one missed your post. It probably sounded familiar. Blah blah acoustics blah blah embedded... yeah. We know.

I am an audio curmudgeon/cheapskate...I would never spend this kind of money on speakers.  BUT...I recently heard the new Dali Epikore 11s, and while $60K is waaaaay beyond anything I could ever justify even if I could afford it, they immediately impressed me more than anything I've heard from Focal, B&W, Wilson, or anyone else, some in an equally stratospheric price range.  so if the Tektons, for half as much, give a more affluent listener than I am a similar reaction, more power to them.
