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.

I have not had a chance to hear tekton in person. I most likely won't be giving up my Rockport Atria II to get a pair but yoy never know. 

@tomic601  Jim, I'm sure it sounds amazing! Agree with the general consensus that you can have lots of detail, as long as it's not ear-searingly bright.

i don’t think my reference system gives up much detail in service of the music

I have Tekton speakers. Specifically the troubadour. 
they basically shine with any electronics. 
they are the perfect blend of detail, balance and liveliness.

they punch way way way above their weight class. 
im certain in blind listening tests even the most tuned ears would 

assume these speakers are deep into the thousands.
