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).

@pinwa ,

What an odd response to my post. All I did was state there are a number of Tekton speakers for sale on USAM at the moment, as it was mentioned that there are none for sale here. Yet you jump all over me insinuating I’m calling them ’crap’ , which I never did. Then you accuse me of failing to notice which specific models are for sale. Who cares which models they are, how is that relevant? You compare the ones for sale on USAM with another brand for sale on Hifishark. Yet again, irrelevant. (By the way, 28 Tekton speakers for sale there! Sorry, I failed to notice which brands they are.) You also seem to be under the impression that USAM and Hifishark are ’secret sites’. I don’t even know how to respond to that one. Next time you want to attack someone for stating a simple fact, you may want to think it out a little better.

@corelli ,

You’re correct, I miss counted. 12 for sale at the moment on USAM.

By the way, that's not a criticism. I've never once criticized the sound of Tekton speakers since I've never heard any.

The OP has started 2 discussions since being here on Audiogon. Now he is long gone. Interesting.

@ 2psyop  Exactly.  There are a smaller number of "members" whose primary objective is to inflame and stir the pot.

Can't deny it, though.  This is the most action we've seen here in a very long time. 🔊
