There is no Tekton shill, it doesn't exist. There are very excited owners that you should not take very seriously. You should listen on your own and on your own only.
$18k Tektons? Stupid AF. Just absolutely idiotic. If you are spending that kind of money then you want something that looks somewhat as good as it sounds and that's not Tekton.
Taking an existing model and upgrading the drivers and then throwing your hat into the mix of people doing rear drivers isn't a good idea for a speaker. It's taken people like Spatial and others many models and years to make a well integrated rear driver model. Doing one for the hell of it isn't something I would spend $18k on.
