Expo
Spent 8 hours at the show today... almost every room sounded good and the wait to get to a prime listening position was never longer than 10 minutes. Best budget speaker sound... to my ears were the Ryan speakers room... the Soundfield Speakers Ro... 
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
Following on @barany's comment....if you buy a piece of gear and like and and happen to find a reviewer who liked....or if you buy a piece of gear because a reviewer liked it and find out you like it, then you may have increased confidence that yo... 
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
@CapBoiling it all down, it seems like what you are saying is that you heard the Tektons and didn't particularly like them...and it bugs you think their patent is too generic, that their ad copy is too boastful and that the return freight is too h... 
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
In the interest of overall fairness to Teajay with respect to Tekton... it’s worth noting that in his HTR review last month of the Model 50s as speakers that can be paired with Set Amps... he concludes by saying that he liked the 50s so much that ... 
How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?
@falconquest we are looking forward to your initial thoughts and then hopefully a review of the Spatials when they arrive.  
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
@capOn the issue of using "average drivers" at the end of the day its about achieving the voicing that Tekton wants...and if they can do it with lower cost drivers....which keeps product cost down...and still have a lot of happy customers...no big... 
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
@CapSerious question...why would Teajay...or anyone else for that matter, give up their $20,000 speakers just to get a $4000 discount (estimated) on speakers that weren't as good?  Presumably, he could afford the $20,000 speaker (maybe they cost h...

invictus005As we read almost every day, the theft of intellectual property from overseas has reached an alarming level as evidenced by how every year more and more of our own products are no longer made here.  With this in mind, it makes absolut... 
The invention of measurements and perception
@erik_squires After reading through this thread, my experience is that for measurements and math to fully and completely able to describe and define something in a predictable and repeatable way requires that the "problem" be properly understood ... 
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
@TeajayNo doubt that loudspeakers will NEVER be a one size fits all product.And no doubt that Tekton’s ad copy about obsoleting other loudspeakers is like raw meat to the lions.... but as those in the ad business will often say, “as long as they a... 
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
Teajay.... have you tried the perfect set with more powerful amps yet?   
Are many audiophiles only seeking approval of the next purchase?
What is clear from even light reading of almost any forum is that what sounds great to you in your home may not impress me... and in my house may actually sound poor... for a number of well understood reasons. Audio is not unlike Automobiles... ve... 
Tube Sound Question
@ atmasphereSomewhat of a side question...if it is 2nd order harmonics and less odd order harmonics that contribute to the sense of smoothness....what aspect of tubes...amp or preamp...is it that contributes to the increased sense of spaciousness?
