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).

back to Tekton....

 

 

 

When my Moab Be get’s compared to a $26K Magico A5 and the $27K Kef Blade 2 it’s obvious that my business model and background is overlooked and misunderstood. Question... how is a Magico A5 or a Kef Blade 2 going to go fare with my budget priced $5200 Tekton Moab?! One is going to sound big and exciting and the other two are going be something else entirely.

If we are going by sonics alone, some of the rinse/repeat/rehash & market for snob appeal type of brands are not your real competitors. Your real competitors are guys who’ve produced stunning sonics at shows, etc at rather reasonable prices (Borresen, Mofi, etc), i.e., the other "disruptors" perhaps.

IME, and as a former end-user of some of your product, the anticipated sonic advantages of some of your designs wasn’t entirely there in comparison to some competitor product. You may accept the notion that there is always room for improvement (it isn’t all figured out already), if you perceive that engineering is a life long process of learning/improving things.

@MOFOJO, google 'Review Tekton Moab BE" and see what you get.  Beryllium drivers are very expensive.  Not sure if they are worth the price.

I don't need to read more of your words. I bet there are many here just tired tired tired of your broken record comments. You have so much time on your hands that you're lucky to be patronized.

First :

Some as you prefer insulting than thinking then for sure they dont need to read my post...

But you are wrong here my posts are not a broken records my friend... Your insult cannhot hide your own limitation... Read all my posts on the A.I. music thread and linked that to my 7 last posts on the thread about music as mystical experience ... Anybody doing so with more than 12 articles and books recommendation i proposed, anybody of good faith doing so will not call all my posts "a broken record" ...Save an idiot with limited brain capacity... You are not in this case then your insult come from other reason indicated in my last post line here .

You acted as an asshole with me by frustration and never cease to insult me time to time in the last 4 years... Nevermind my good behaviour and politeness with you...even many apologies in the begining ... 😊 I like too much all people i guess ...

And as you said i am retired yes you are right here i have enough time and io had friends here . And you are right another time you patronize a lot ...But knowing you dont seem a luck anymore sorry here you are wrong ... Be patronized is not a luck for anyone... i love partner in discussion...

Now anyone reading my post can verify than the content i put on audiogon , in the music section , piano , jazz threads, and last in the thread about A.I. and music and my content in the thread The Mystery Of Sound Is Mysticism" is anything but ORIGINAL and NOT BORING as your insult are patronizing me and probably some others...

After 4 years of patronizing by you i can surely judge you as a not very friendly ...

All that because you are frustrated to be unable to contradict my argument ... You are easy to read as any frustrated patronizing person with a superiority complex..

😊
