Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative?

Nice post, liz!

The bottom line with Tekton is, too many complaints keeping coming up for them to be faultless in all their dealings. Where there is smoke there is fire. Instead of hunting down critical threads and trying to change the message, the Tekton owner should try to treat his customers better. Taking cash money from a customer before you’ve completed anything for them is simply wrong, and a rad flag. To then make them wait several months is ridiculous and probably a good case for the Better Business Bureau.  

The small audio company Schiit audio makes it a practice to not charge your credit card until they ship your product.  I was once on a waiting list of theirs, and they never touched my cc or anyone else's until the things were shipping.

Cleeds keeps repeating his chararcter assassination theory on any customer who complains. But the cumstomer in question was most certainly level headed and not going off on tirades. He stated his case with civility and was asking for advice, not trying to malign Tekton. Tekton did that all by themselves.

Cleeds keeps repeating his chararcter assassination theory on any customer who complains ...

I have done no such thing, and clearly there have been too many issues for Tekton to be completely blameless. But neither to I accept every claim as unvarnished truth. There are almost always two sides to every story, and sometimes more.

Let’s remember that the OP himself deleted his own thread. It’s almost as though he’s retracted his claims. Oddly, a few continue to prosecute this case without any first-hand information.

What about the more likely cause of deleting was bribery. The person was suckered into deleting it on the promise if he did, he would get his speakers. A just as likely scenario.
And we only have a second hand account that the speakers are in shipping soon to be shipped. I would guess the person who started the thread is afraid to say anything yet.. since 20 to 1 they do NOT yet actually have anything besides vaporware promises. Photos and promises mean nothing in this situation.

Hi cleeds. I pm’d the op a while back to see how it worked out. Tekton finally decided to work on his speakers and was sending him progress reports and pictures. So it appears to me that without him starting that thread, he most likely would still be waiting. I guess he was happy that progress was finally being made and ended the thread. Still don't understand why Eric posted the op was not being truthful without a single word to back it up. All the guy did was claim he paid for speakers months ago and had yet to receive them. Sounds mighty truthful to me...

It's surely good news if the OP is happy that progress is being made on his speakers. He deserves it.
