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).

Patronizing people after accusing someone of saying only bla bla and saying that it is a luck for him to be patronized by you is acting like an asshole my friend..

You begun insulting me in your hypocrite way ( too much words too bad english too repetitive too much posts ) and my posting since 4 years; i characterized your behaviour in the last 4 years against me naming it as it is ..

All your posts patronizing me about my posts are here...You even said that i am LUCKY to be patronized by you... This is not an insult my friend ? 😊

Myself i NEVER insulted you i invited you to discuss many times, you declined my friend  ... All people here dont know that...

And how about your own lack  self control  repeating many times your patronizing about my posts in the last 4 years in a regular way ?

 

@mahgister I will not respond to the word "asshole." That is abusive and violates the terms of the forum.

Others on this thread: I will not reply to this member again. Sorry that this intervened in the discussion. Self-control is not everyone’s strong suit.

Respectfully, this is loudspeaker thread; you two can easily communicate through personal messages. I hope you can resolve your issues.  

Back here on planet earth... the facts are Tekton Design is a disruptive product that delivers audiopihile quality at an affordable price - eighteen product of the year awards proves this. It should be obvious that Stereophile has no choice to rate the reviewed Moab Be as a 'class B' loudspeaker because it isn't a visual piece of art that seconds as a loudspeaker. The Moab Be is a form following function design with zero frill or flare. Offering stunning visual art and flare that seconds as a loudspeaker isn't my business model; there are no fewer than two dozen companies covering that base and it's of no interest to me.

Man, Tekton makes some amazingly ugly speakers. I’m sure they sound good. The commonality seems to be to use an array of small drivers to emulate a single big driver, I guess smaller drivers are faster and more dynamic? Will stop and go faster than a single big driver?
