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).

@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. 🔊

@thecarpathian  Appreciate your clarification.  But understand how that simple statement is taken by others to suggest there are a bunch of unhappy Tekton owners out there trying to dump their speakers.  That's not the case at all.
