Has anyone here had any dealings with Tekton, particularly their subwoofers

I own(ed) a pair of Tektons, but not their subwoofers.

Decent speakers, some people swear by them. Great bang for your buck. It’s nice that you can get them customized and in any finish you want. Most people who $hit on them usually haven’t even heard them, so bear that in mind. Disparaging a company just seems to be some people’s MO....

I never had any issues dealing with Tekton, they were responsive and timely, so I’d say good customer service. You can either call them, but I found email was the way to go.

I got rid of my Tektons simply because I outgrew them, sonically. I had upgraded my amplification, preamplification, sources, etc....and they just weren’t giving me the sound I was looking for, so I let my son-in-law "borrow" them (probably permanently). He loves them.

Hope that helps.

"ASR basically trashed a Tekton speaker and Tekton threatened ASR with legal action."

How many times has ASR been called out for slander/libel/defamation/bad,faulty testing methods, etc...? Quite a few, and probably justifiably so.

"the question is whether you have much appetite to support bullying, intimidation and anti-competitive behavior with your dollars."

If ASR is against it, then I’m probably for it, lol. Not a fan of ASR’s BS. If you want an example of a group of arrogant, ignorant, self-righteous audio bullies, look no further than that place.

Back to Tekton: They’re a small company offering rather unique products at a good price. You pay your money and make your choice. Some people love them, some people don’t. I’m OK with that.

Life's way too short to argue the virtues or detriments of an audio product that I've never heard.

Try listening to a pair. Bring your own CD. Turn them up. Make your own decision. Best advice I can give.
