Hi Steve , thanks for the insights . How many pairs have been sold / spoken for , thus far ?
...... Each pair of Tess is a bit like giving birth though...a serious team effort by everyone.....
Only a guy would say this .....
Do the Tessies come apart somewhat for moving and transporting them or are they one solid piece ?
There is a top cabinet (Mid-bass, midrange, tweeter) and the sub cabinet on the bottom. They ship separately. A pair of Tesseracts come in 4 crates.
Thanks...when I'm ready to make a change from my Wilson X-2.2's, these speakers are at the top of my list to consider. They are imho from a vanity standpoint...the coolest looking speakers ever.
And Christian, you already have the Pass monos in the photo that Ack inserted above.
They do look nice together...I'm still trying to figure out how tall they are. In my current space I wouldn't want them to be much taller than my 70" Wilsons...
In post #10, Steve mentions the total height as 7'-3" or 87". I just saved you $300K unless you move your listening room upstairs.

The tessies would have to wait for my next home...."87 inches will be close to touching my listening room ceiling.
Oh, it is terrible - my listening room door is only 83 inches - fortunately it is enough for the SoundLab's!
That's an inch taller than VR-11s. I'm 5'10" and I can barely reach the top of those without tip toeing. It looks like Tess' pointy top is safe from her suitors' naughty hands!
Funny. I was thinking about this as I started reading through the thread. My soon to possess VR-11s and Tess both remind me of two of my favorite movies ever. VR-11s are Also Sprach Zarathustra in 2001, I want to listen to the Lord of the Rings soundtracks whenever I see a Tesseract.
HiI wonder what ever happened to these speakers? Has anyone ever heard them?
Home-visiting the Tesseract in Taiwan :Hi
On Avalon's website there is a sort of review published in a Taiwan hi fi mag. They seem to have sold a few pairs, mostly in the Far East.
