Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers


We have had many discussions/arguments over tekton speakers in the past, mainly involving a couple posters who thought their $4000 tektons sounded better than the highest price Wilson’s and other high budget speakers.

In the latest Stereophile magazine, they did a review of the $30,000 tekton’s. In this Steteophile issue, they rate these $30,000 tekton’s as class B. When you look at the other speakers that are in the class B section, you will notice most of these speakers range in price from $5000-$8000. So it looks like you have to spend $30,000 on a pair of tekton’s to equal a pair of $5000 Klipsch Forte IV’s sound quality. 
If I compare these $30,000 class B tekton’s, to some of the class A speakers, there are some class A speakers for 1/2 the price (Dutch & Dutch 8C, Goldenear triton reference), or other class A speakers that are cheaper (Magico A5, Kef blade 2).

I do not think Tekton speakers are good choice for people with arachnophobia.

Ha! That’s a major reason why I don’t like it’s appearance.

I could never buy Tekton speakers purely on aesthetics.  They could be the greatest sounding speaker in the world, at the best price and I still couldn't bring myself to look at them every day.  True I do have my eyes closed most of the time I'm listening to music, but still.  To each their own when it comes to beauty, but for me, they are just butt ugly.  That's just my opinion and no offence to those who find them a work of art.  Life's just too short to drink light beer or own ugly speakers. IMHO 😁

 Oh @bigtwin nailed it🤩…Too big and ugly to roommate with everyday.  Many other choices…Give me water over light beer😜IPA please🍻
