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).

Another point not to be missed is the fact that if Eric continues to behave in this fashion, the company will be out of business regardless of the quality of the product. 

audphile,

Those orange/red multi speaker Tektins remind me of the original version of Infinity’s QRS Speakers.

Got to hear them and they were amazing, and huge!

There's a reviewer on YouTube who did some satire on this whole affair playing the role of Eric. Too lazy to go back and find the link. He even stated up front his dad is a lawyer who handles these kind of lawsuits and will volunteer his time free of charge to anyone who's being sued by Eric. Maybe that, too, helped to calm things down.

All the best,
