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).

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.

I don’t know bud, I’ve laughed my head off at the sound/squawk fest that came out of million dollar rigs at times.

If a million dollar rig is getting plopped down in a goofy living room, something is wrong with the guy that’s doing it. Spend the money on construction and get a purpose designed/built acoustic space and drop the money on treatments first..... would be my suggestion.

No matter what you spent on gear, the other 50% or more is the acoustic space/room. The human ear likes certain types of spaces, if you don't have that, it is largely a waste of time.

Then why use terms like "blow the bucks"? Point is if you dont listen you are in no position to comment on big buck components.

I dont disagree with deep's comments about the room, but I dont recall anyone suggesting a million dollar system be placed in an average room.
