Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers

I wouldn’t say it was a bad review at all. I think it was pretty clear the reviewer said the Moab was a great speaker for the price and the BE version not so much because only marginally better. 
 

I’ll say it again, the Double Impacts do things I’ve not heard other speakers do. Giant killer for 3k? Maybe. Better than 10k + speakers? Probably not in most cases but they are pretty damn good for 3k. Never heard the Moab. 

Since 99.9999% of all stereophile reviews end up with the reviewer stating this is the best his setup has ever sounded, best of the best, and most of the time the product competes with others that are many times the price.

None of this occurred, and just the opposite happened, the ratings review of class B speakers that competed with these speakers, were 1/5th less to 1/2 the price of these tektons, not good. 
 

I haven’t read any of the other reviews that the reviewer has been threatened but I’m guessing these weren’t favorable reviews either. 

So Big Deal....Eric's $ 30,000 speakers don't play up to their price point according to ONE reviewer.....His $ 2,000 - $ 5,000 speakers are some of the best value speakers for the money in the marketplace.....The people that praise them are the people that actually own them.

Exactly.  I just posted the same thought in another thread (although went with $3-10k).  The Double Impacts are the speaker that put Tekton on the map.  I have said this before--the value on the end product is HUGE and maybe unsurpassed in the industry when you look at the cost of all the components, cabinet, etc.  And then have it delivered across the country for $3k.  Insane value.  All of this would mean nothing if the speaker didn't sound great.  It does and in so many ways.  And to those who want to double the cost of their speaker with a fine veneer--go for it!  As for me, I would rather spend my money on sonics, not eye candy.  

As for the Moab Be, I have never heard it.  Like anything in life, value diminishes as you go up the ladder.  For me, it would never be worth it when I consider how much I have enjoyed the DI's.  

I have helped rebuild several of these speakers 

The cAbinets are a joke ,just mdf and ring like a bell

The drivers are of a ? Brand and the Xover 

Very low quality. They ever put a electrolytic capacitor

In the Xover that magnitudes more noise .

In any quality speaker poly caps or foil only   the inductors were low quality iron 

Sledge hammer type, the $30k model a giant coffin 

AnD THE BS on competing with Any quality speaker 

No way,big soundstage , thats it no great imaging 

Payed  for reviews. Why do you think they were very hot 2 years ago

Now average sales at best,and good luck on the 

Resale market, sad but True !!
