@jonwatches - Funny you brought up the SHL5s, because back when I had my big Naim rig years ago, the SHL5s were fully capable of delivering every nuance of Nora Jones' saliva and lips, so it's really about what they're connected to. Probably the same with Tekton. That was a great system. But I think one has to come to the point to where they are honest with themselves about what they like to listen to and not what the audiophile magazines tell them is good. Some people never get there.
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.
