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 own a pair of Tektons. Enzo XL's

What they're good at, well, they do well......

I would say their sound is anything but analytical. 

That being said, this whole $3K vs $30k "giant killer" thing is straight up bullshit.

Mine are loud, forward, not relaxed in their presentation and absolutely perfect if I want to play AC/DC or Ozzy loudly after a six pack.

Unfortunately, I don't really listen like that anymore.

I've outgrown them and moved on to a decent pair of OB speakers. 

I don't care how good Tektons sound, I'm just not there anymore in my listening journey. They do something really well that I've kind of lost interest in. I could see where they would be perfect for someone, I'm just not that guy anymore.

As a Tekton owner, thought I'd chime in and give M2CW.

 

No need to hate, Tekton markets their hype. I would too, that's how you make money......

No need to over-hype, either.

You like what you like. If they work for you, great.

If you hear something else you like, well......you pays your money, and you takes your choice. ;)

Do we have to have another thread on Tekton?  Enough already and I own a whole theater room set.

Quested Studio Range Speakers to my ears sound well balanced warm, musical yet they can deliver all the details in a relaxed manner i find them ultra low fatique for a Studio Speaker and can outclass many high end audio speakers for the same money.

The same cant be said about other Studio speakers which i would never use for music listening. It really comes down to how the speaker is voiced.

Low fatique is an important factor in my book.
