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.
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).
