Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers

I am in a multi state audioclub, if you look at reviews going back 2-3 years ago 

with all the farfair. Being in audio for decades and owning a Audio store.

I went through the politics of reviews and spoke with Companies that had excellent products ,were the magazine reviewers stated clearly put $$ x amount of $$ on 1/2 or full page ads $30k+ and we will see too you get very good reviews , 

one company ESP won speaker of the year late 90s , and several years later 

out of business because he was small he got average reviews there after plenty of politics in Audio, and myself having help upgrade many Loudspeaker Xovers 

have over 20+ years in Xover parts quality which greatly influence the sound,

I just speak about what is possible to improve the sound quality and the Xover is a weakness on most loudspeakers even over $20k ,.most mfg have no formal experience with that many parts .where I have well over 10,000 actual hours on capacitors Sonic signature and runin time on the majority of capacitors out there .

check this out  As a good reference , Humble Home made hifi capacitor test.

also Jantzen make the best quality inductors for quality,value imo.

Also the Excellent Path Audio resistors.

audioman58,

I heard those giant ESP speakers back around 2000-01, and I liked them a lot.  But, I knew it would be hard for them to succeed.  The sound was beautifully balanced and natural, but it lacked the kind of WOW factor that is often needed to grab some listeners attention.  It is very unfortunate that really good products cannot thrive just by being really good products--one has to please important reviewers, it has to have the right look, it has to be cleverly marketed, etc.

Crossovers, because they are hidden and utilize very old technology, don't have the appeal of fancy drivers where one can tout beryllium or other exotic materials, and all kinds of technological improvement.  Capacitors, inductors and resistors, very boring stuff.

You didn’t provide facts to back up your statements specific to Tekton. Stating that you are in an audio club and worked in the business are not facts to substantiate your below contentions.

"Payed for reviews."

"Now average sales at best"

I’ll hazzard a guess that neither you nor anyone in these clubs have any access to Tekton business records to then make these specific claims.

I gave my opinion i dont owe anyone an explanation

These are my observations .i will leave it at that.

I think audioaudition needs to read more carefully before he speaks. I said value is relative i.e, it’s different for EVERYBODY. I have no problem with people who value 250K speakers. Please forgive my post. I know I am not worthy of members like you. I will try to remain silent Mr. Putin, as you request.
