| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @davetheoilguy This is an unnecessary discussion, because you could have easily tested the matter for yourself...and in less time than it just took you to expand further on your misapprehensions. Throw 10 or 20 varied search terms at the Stereo... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 @hickamore Like you I would naturally incline to KT150s and wonder why the unit costs $400 less with these vs. stock EL34. Are you in the U.S.? If so, I'm not sure where you're getting those prices. At Upscale Audio — the natural place to bu... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 For $7,500 you can get a PrimaLuna EVO 400 integrated and swap the EL34s for KT150s. I did, and hear added body and slam, and a wider soundstage. | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers it's super interesting that when you search "Tekton Moab" in the search bar of Stereophile, the review doesn't come up. No, it isn't. Anyone will have the same experience with many, many search terms plugged into the Stereophile search bar. The... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @davetheoilguy I’ve only ever heard these in a showroom. Have you? Where? Tekton sells direct-to-consumer only and I've never seen the brand at hifi shows. | |
| TAS. The Absolute Sound? @jhnnrrs TAS and Stereophile, as well as many of the online only review sites have reduced themselves to audiophile porn. Highlighting that which is only attainable by a wealthy few, leaving those of us for whom it is unattainable drooling I... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @knock1 I do not think Tekton speakers are good choice for people with arachnophobia I'm confused. Arachnophobia is the fear of spiders. How do the Tektons remind you of spiders? Do you mean trypophobia? | |
| Tekton speaker comparison thread @millercarbon @lwin Same here. The Moabs have performed terrifically in my room, where they followed the Martin Logan Odysseys I'd had and loved for many years. The Moabs were less than half the price BTW. Roughly as fast as the old electrostats... | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers I have a pair of M1s, but I’ve heard three or four other Børresen models as well. They really are outstanding, even the ones that cost a tenth of the retail price of mine. | |
| Indispensable Tool! @czarivey Yes, you could burn the files to a CD. Or just copy them to your music library and then play them through whatever software you favor — Roon, Audirvana, etc. On the recommendation of a friend, I bought and downloaded the Tellurium file... | |
| Full range stand mounted speakers This is the only stand mount that I know of that'll get you near full range performance . https://legacyaudio.com/products/view/calibre How so? The company specs these down to 38Hz. That means pretty much the entire bottom octave is missing. | |
| Magico's M9 I know everyone is sick of hearing about this But you made a post about it anyway. Was that useful, you think? FWIW, I heard the Magico M6 ($172,000/pair) at AXPONA last year. They sounded absolutely stellar — best sound of the show, along wit... | |
| What's the point of reviewing? unless we have identical equipment and acoustic spaces, it’s mute. Really? Mute? Or moot? | |
| OMG - Room Acoustics are Critical - WAF be dam-ed!. @dadork Who are all of these men that are so afraid of their women? Afraid to move a lamp or throw pillow? It is our house too. This milquetoast mentality puzzles me as well. There was an interesting discussion about it on Reddit a few months... | |
