Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"

@jetter 

I'd hardly call Tekton a model of success. Lots of companies doing what they do have gone a LOT further in the time Tekton has been in business. It doesn't seem they have achieved mass production. As for the patents, I only read the one, but if the others are that poorly constructed, they're basically worthless. 

I honestly couldn't care less if people are happy with how they sound. I looked over the DI thread and was surprised by what owners of the things said. One guy who had his pair for a year said they showed up with barely visible seams in the joint work which began to pull apart and become obvious as the speakers aged. That suggests they were built with improperly cured wood. You can't read that thread and ignore the problems people have with wait times on delivery, getting speaker grills, and poor build quality. 

I read reviews about Tekton speakers that sounded impressive before I ever came to this forum. I thought they looked hideous and was uninterested in dealing with the sales model. Personal preference. But then I came here and read post after post after post from people trying to get grills, getting grills with no way to mount them, waiting and waiting and waiting, and all kinds of other issues. The exuberance for these things seems completely out of proportion for what is basically a DIY product. I'm not asking anybody to believe me. Go do your own research and see the problems others have had. And don't go calling every one of those people liars.... That just makes you look like a fool. 

All it took was a designer and one rogue reviewer to tell the world that Tekton speakers were better than anything else at almost any price. What kind of response did they expect??? They were put under the microscope and closely scrutinized. The reality was they couldn't deliver. I am not a businessman, but I would think a bit more modest approach would have served them much better in the long run. IMO

If you put some Tektons in a blind shootout with some of the major brands in a higher price bracket I believe they would do very well. The things they do very well I find unmatched by most other speakers being dynamics, mid bass punch, and speed. 

Mr m
it wasn't one rogue reviewer. Tekton has stellar reviews from Positive Feedback, Stereo Times, Reichert of Stereophile, Steve Gutenberg, Steve Smith...and many other reviewers...mostly echo teajay, many of whom bought the speakers. Best, mikirob
