LA Audio Show 2017: The $350 to $5,000 systems they were lining up for

There were a number of spectacular, cost-no-object components drawing stereo fans at the Los Angeles Audio Show, but the room I had the hardest time getting into featured a $350 USD rig. Even late Sunday – a typically slow-traffic time as the [...]

Review: Tekton SEAS Pendragon

January 24, 2015

by John Richardson Oh my, these seem like big speakers, or more like two giant monoliths bearing down on me as it sit in my listening chair. Good lord, I think these things are about to devour me! Of course, it’s been awhile since I’ve had a set [...]

Review: Rogue Audio Sphinx Integrated Amplifier

January 17, 2015

by John Richardson Late last summer I was invited to a cookout at the home of an audio buddy of mine, Bill Magerman. I couldn’t refuse, as Bill is an excellent cook and a man of multiple talents and interests. Besides running his blueberry [...]

Magnepan and Tekton meet Pass Labs, Odyssey, Job, Merrill, Red Wine Audio, First Watt and Vitus Audio

November 27, 2013

Amplifier Madness Filed Under: Why The Hell Not. Wild hair? Yeah, maybe. Two over-achieving and “moderately priced” transducers fell into my Magical Hand of Loudspeakers — the Magnepan 3.7s and the Tekton Designs SEAS Pendragon [...]

First Listen: Tekton Designs Pendragon SEAS

Eric Alexander sent me a pair of Tekton Designs Pendragon loudspeakers with the new SEAS driver layout. Heh heh, heh heh. These are 95dB, 4 ohm, and a bit smaller than their “big” brother Pendragon that I had in here last year. Actually, [...]

Follow up on Fritz Frequencies’ Grove

Who’s Fritz? Fritz Heiler makes loudspeakers. He’s the man behind Fritz Frequencies, a one-man shop working out of Los Angeles, and all his gear is Made in the USA. But it’s just him, which pretty much explains why he’s so [...]

Follow-Up: Red Wine Audio Signature 15

This is a fairly well-covered piece of audio gear, so I’m challenged with how to proceed without simply repeating what others have already, and far more capably, written. Srajan Ebaen, over at 6moons, did his usual fine job of delving under [...]

Best yet? The Tekton Lore S

I’m loathe to call my Fedex driver “the cat” as he’s 6’4″ and every bit of 250lbs, but I’m still tickled with what he dragged in today. The new (-ish) Tekton Lore S! To get them into the sweet spot in the [...]

Part II: Digging in to the Tekton Pendragon

January 25, 2012

The Pendragon from Tekton Design is a monster. With a sensitivity of 98dB, they are big, full range, and the sound is impressive as all hell. They’re also $2500. My first thought on hearing that was “holy crap, that’s cheap!” But [...]

Part One: Introducing the Tekton Pendragon

January 2, 2012

About a month or so ago, I got an itch to try out some tubes again. Might have been a virus that was going around, upon further reflection, but while I was in the grips of things, I started contemplating what a high-sensitivity setup would look [...]
