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

@deep_333

You’re asking me? Ask ASR, they wrote the tests.

Me, I’m against removing comments (not 100% sure you’re accusing me of it, but it sure sounds like it).

You write what you write because you think it’s valuable or righteous or smart or clever, and it deserves to be kept in public view for all to make up their own minds on the matter. If your prose gets binned, it’s not on me.

This has devolved a bit for the OP.  Classic ASR vs Tekton owners thread.  The truth is somewhere in the middle.  I don't find Amir to be the most unbiased person, so his comments I take with a grain of salt.  He trashed the Sony SSCS5 speakers that sell for $77 regularly, yet have a flatter response than many speakers costing much more.  Sure it hits distortion fast with some SPL pushed, but it's a $77 speaker.

Point being, OP, I wouldn't judge either side because of a personal disagreement among two seemingly opinionated and type A people.  At the end of the day trust your gut.  For subwoofers, rhythmik seems like the king unless you want to take a chance on the tektons. They may be a bigger bang for the buck but return shipping is not cheap if you don't like them.  Best of luck to you!

Tekton has horribly toxic ownership. Don't even care if I liked their speakers or not, Eric and his trash heap are dead to me.

I have Tekton speakers and HAVE dealt with Eric Alexander. Speakers sounded terrific and he was a pleasure to deal with. In fact, once I had a failed driver and Eric and crew took care of the problem and sent me another driver, no hassle at all.
Some people offer negative opinions but don’t offer direct experience with the company. I often wonder if they regurgitate what other negative things they have heard. I doubt very seriously these people have ACTUALLY HEARD THE SPEAKERS and even fewer have owned them. Sometimes you can look up other comments posters have made on other topics. If you see, most often, negative opinions and not positive ones you get to “see” how unhelpful these opinions can be.

@2psyop ,

Have you dealt directly with Eric Alexander when he, on this very forum threatened litigation on members here for expressing their opinions? It’s his MO in more than a few circumstances. He doesn’t like what you say, he threatens to sue you. Have you seen the disaster of a video he personally put out in an attempt at damage control from the PR mess his own words and actions created? It was a train wreck that only served to solidify what people thought of him. Not his company, him. This is not an opinion. These are documented facts of his actions. If you are aware of this, you can understand all the negativity surrounding him and by default, his company. Apologies for going off track as to what this thread is about. I’ll say no more other than I have never heard a Tekton speaker, therefore I’ve never expressed an opinion either way. We're in total agreement on this: If you haven't heard the equipment, you have no right to express an opinion either way.
