Tekton custom grills

craig159,

You claim that nobody at the price point has Eric's quality. Even though I never have heard a new pair of Tekton anything, and I'm sure they sound respectable at their price points. But even at his prices, large rectangle boxes with rough finishes, poor grill construction (if you actually get a pair), inexpensive drivers with dust caps that "dimple" in their shipping cartons, etc....Well, you get the gist. That's not quality engineering. There are companies out there that sell less expensive speakers than Tekton and sound respectable with very good fit-and-finish. IMO.

craigl59,

My comments are factually accurate. Just re-read some of the comments by actual owners of Tekton speakers. And please re-read my post as you have taken what I said way out of context. I have visited several  of the highend speakers places of manufacture and talked in depth to their designers and I can assure you that that type of quality (Tekton's) doesn't make it out of there doorways. Any company can make a good pair of loudspeakers but it takes consistency to make them great.

I think this thread remains a good example of "ya gets what ya's pays for."
Of course, the popularity of Tekton relies a lot on the idea you are actually getting more than you are paying for, in terms of sound quality relative to other manufacturer's prices.  And that's great.  But reality can't totally be escaped - and it seems the general fit and finish (from reports I've read) and customer service remains in the "get what you pay for" realm.
Frankly the issues stated here would drive me nuts, and I'm willing to pay more for better service/finish/aesthetics etc.
