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).
@tektondesign -Eric, can you point me to where i can find these speakers on your website? Anyone--Is there a link to the Stereophile review? I went to Stereophile's website and could not find it nor did a Google search produce it--at least the parameters i used which were "Stereophile Review of Tekton Speakers" |
I found tekton late in my search for speakers.have found them to be honest and back thier products.during this search I built tube amps with my ph.d father who taught me much on physics electronics and life.i am highly educated read alot have test equipment albeit not reference grade but close.i have ,not to brag but to test and listen and passify the savage beast that music does.read the review on the ulfberhts who said its a giant killer.it sits next to my very pretty focal utopia be speakers.there is no way they are 30x the price.my b&w 800 matrix r great too and so r the genesis and irs v referance dali megaline duntec 2001 usher d2.i have the moab be driven with a michi m8 sound wonderful to me. Perhaps you need a high end amp there is much debate about that subject as well.i only wish I would have found tekton earlier might not have as many speakers.go and listen to them then make your own decision.enjoy the music stay healthy.by the way some of my tektons have mundorf caps.spent my whole life dealing with trauma.sometimes music is wonderful to calm and psych. |
@wyoboy, The all Be Moabs are not on the Tekton website. |
