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

teajay,

Not in this thread, but awhile ago, you got into it with a fellow named Kenny. If you are the same person I am talking about, you kept calling hm "Mr. Bright bulb." Kenny thru out that thread pretty much maintained his composer and maturity with his conversation expressing his own reasons for no longer owning Tekton speakers. It appeared to me that you were the one whose sense of control was eroding away. Most of the personal attacks were coming from your end.

I have no dog in this fight, (no pun intended) I think, as I have said before, that you and Tekton are the biggest reason for much of the hate talk about Tekton. I couldn't care either way as I think there are a lot of speakers out there that I like better than Tekton. Once again, just say'in....

Honestly it’s so sad this thread was derailed, misdirect, to the point where it became personal, I realize we all have different taste on any speaker we chose, The first time I read about Tekton , I did not even took it seriously, I realize later the posters do know what they are talking about, Yes many negative comment too, like Mr m said there are many speakers out the that He prefer, I respect that, Tekton speakers are not for everyone...As you know I bought the impact monitor, When Markr visited my place and He likes them , He end up buying one,it’s ok not to buy Tekton product if you do not  like them, it’s your money..Teajay you know I respect your reviews passion for audio , let’s move on , .... for there is power in quietness...this is such a enjoyable hobby ...

One question many of us probably have is "what is the value of continued hate talk"?  Presumably it is to either chase customers away from Tekton (which obviously isn't happening) or keep this thread going and off the main topic of impressions of the Perfect Set which most of want to hear.


Six years ago, if you bought from Tekton, you had relatively few choices of models, no grills and the color was always black ...kind of like the Model T.

Since then, the market has told Eric that it wants grills...he gave them grills...it wants color options...he gave them color options....it wants smaller speakers...he gave them smaller speakers....it wants bigger/better speakers...he gave them the Double Impact....the market wants even better....he gave them the Ulf (and others)...it wanted Beryllium...gave them Beryllium.  He is clearly a guy that listens to the market...and his customers..all while moving forward with his own designs.

Some of these moves might have been rolled out in a better manner and often times the sheer number of orders seems to overwhelm their system...but just using history as an example of Tekton over the past 6 years, I have no doubt that a number of things are either in the works or being seriously evaluated and will improve their business in the years to come:

1.  How to handle the volume surges and yet not add so much cost that the more normal times has them too overstaffed.  (and we all know this is tough for every company).


2.  Offering high end cabinetry like Jim Salk and others offer...why, because eventually the demand for the plane jane cabinets will be taper...and/or because this is a big untapped and high value market for him.

3.  More innovative models that will challenge conventional thinking and probably move the industry forward...and give us more fun choices to experience.

At this point...those who dislike Tekton are not having much luck persuading the Tekton supporters or vice versa.

I think its time to call a truce. 


At the Florida Audio show yesterday I heard other loudspeakers I think I could own...and I heard some that I couldn't own...no big deal.  But as expected, in every room, every manufacturer put forward his best story as to why his product was the best (at least at a price point) and should be seriously considered...again, no big deal, and exactly what they should be doing.

Well mr_m,

It's funny you mention this gentlemen. Many months ago Kenny sought me out and personally apologized to me for accusations toward me. Of course I accepted this and had a friendly/nice conversation with him. Hope he's doing well these days.

The nickname I gave him in our disagreements on that thread revolved around his position that what ever issue of speaker design, parts, build quality, and theory he was a world class authority, always knew more then anyone could, hence the "brightest Bulb" in the room moniker. Labeled is attitude, but did not condemn him. 

If I had never professionally reviewed even one Tekton Design speaker or ever posted here on the GON, the irrational hatred/mudslinging and the spinning of a false narrative towards Eric/Tekton by a small number of individuals who had taken place for reasons that have been discussed (ego, speaker companies threatened by a product that out performs their speakers at much lower prices, jealousy of a breakthrough design) many times before this thread.
