Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers

I think the used market is a good measure of the worth of something. After all the hype and incentives are gone you are left with a thing that will only sell for what someone is willing to pay for it. 

I wish the used market sites would post the actual price paid when the deal is done. I'm pretty sure the "asking 1/2 of retail" is almost never paid. I'd guess 20-30% less than the ask is what the deal goes down for.

A quick look at Hifi Shark shows these speakers don't sell fast and the ask is the typical 1/2 or MSRP. Slow sales = price drops. Especially when the seller has to sell by a certain date.

What show were those speakers at?! How did they sound? Man they are funny looking !!😂😂😂😂😂

Eric Alexander has always been helpful and takes the time to have a conversation with his customers....I don't think he has no more of a big ego than hundreds of other owners of companies that I meet at shows.....I think their speakers are a genuine value for folks on a budget that want a very MUSICAL sound...A sound you can listen to for hours without any fatigue whatsoever.....The $2500 PENDRAGONS are a perfect example.......Remember, You don't find them often on the used market...There is a REASON for that........

yesiam_a_pirate, Let's say there are no fewer than 20,000 Tekton Design loudspeakers produced, the company only caters to audiophiles with no consumer (normal people) market share, unlike B&W, Klipsch, Polk, etc... and not a single used pair for sale on Audiogon today. Wouldn't you agree that we must be doing something right?

I’ve been an owner of a pair of Ulfberhts for the last four years and have nothing but the best to say about their sound. Great full range speakers which (depending on the source material) can completely disappear in your room creating soundstage with clearly defined vocals and instruments as well as unlimited front to back layering. My pair is finished in piano black so there is no "ugly" issue like some of you are saying. They also have one Be tweeter installed per side. Yes, they are big, heavy and imposing but when you listen to the music you don’t see them. In my opinion the speakers are very well built and you would be hard pressed to find something comparable even at a multiple of their price. BTW, I found dealing with Eric a pleasure and the customer service is first rate. Oh, one more thing... I’ve been in this hobby for about 45 years and I’ve seen and heard a lot of good and bad. This is definitely very good. Some of the most recent pairs of speakers I’ve owned were Kef Blade2, Gershman Black Swan, Piega, etc. None of them lasted in my house longer than the Ulfberhts. Wonder why.
