Tekton 4-10 Subwoofer


Looks like there is a new Sub from Tekton. It looks cool! Eric Alexander, if you are out there, would love to know more about this new product.

I'm sure that amp plate will be as reliable as any other, they are tried and true. Heck,  REL uses them in their "Speedwoofer" along with others. 
I assume posting a pic cant be done via phone? ...its definitely not user friendly to figure out the process 
You should experiment with placement. I place mine on the inside of the Pendragons. I had them on the outside, but found that the soundstage collapsed a bit when they were on the outside. 
Hope this helps...
I own (2) 4-10 subs. Have had them for a couple of months now. I use them for 2 channel music purposes and can say that they sound a lot better than my ported SvS sub does (for music). I still run the SVS for movies,  but contemplating the Cinema Sub and selling my SVS.
Ya know, I never thought more bass was necessary with the Pendragons. However, when I added the 1st 4-10, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of musical weight/depth (if that makes sense). I did notice that although my space is roughly 3000cf, there were some voids in different locations. Personally, I don't sit constantly when enjoying my system. My favorite thing to do is cook while jammin. Granted it's very early on, but adding the 2nd 4-10 is much more enjoyable throughout my entire space. The sense of realism is simply stunning at all volume levels. It's very inspiring, for lack of better phraseology. I'm having a lot of fun!
To be completely honest, I think I'm very fortunate with my room layout. I sense or feel zero "nulls".

With my previous system (SVS Ultras), I found that I was subconsciously listening to less and less music. When I received my first Tekton order (the complete Pendragon system), I literally got chills listening to some very familiar old music favs. I'm not what some refer to as a "fan boy" (too old for that nonsense). I just trust what makes me feel good. So I continued to acquire knowledge in personal experiences along with trusted social media sources and good friends. Which led me to the dilemma of subwoofers with my rekindled passion for music...having the SVS PB12 plus  was great for movies (I still use it for that purpose), but for music, it just didn't quite have that "I'm connected to the tune feel",  ya know?
At that time, Eric was introducing the new 4-10 sub. I figured, ya know what....let's give this a shot...heck I already built a relationship with him and my ears like what his products have brought to the table so far. Now I will say that these 4-10s aren't the best sub out there obviously. However, for 1600.00/pr. they outperform the 1400.00 PB12PLUS by 10 fold for music. These subs are a VERY strong contender at their modest ask of 800.00ea. In my space, I have (12) 10" drivers for 2 channel listening and I'm a very satisfied guy. When I have guests over, they leave with an infectious enthusiasm that can be very contagious to the average "audiophile"...that's coming from people who own McIntosh components with Double Impacts and DYI subs. Another buddy has Triton Reference series paired with a Parasound P6 preamp and the a21 amp. My system is a fraction of their costs and I can sense them both thinking that mine sounds better(as they scratch their heads). Grated completely different room acoustics, but still😁. 
Please keep in mind that I'm not really at liberty to give "reviews", just sharing my thoughts and experiences. 
Hope this helps!


P.S. be gentle with grammar errors (if any exist), as I find proofreading senseless and exhausting.🍻

Curious what this statement means?
Forgive me if your thought/comment is obvious, I just dont get it.
Oh, ok gotcha. I appreciate the clarification. I'll pass on your suggested search though. I enjoy my "cheap" Tekton system paired with Parasound components.  I've spent a lot more in my lifetime on expensive drivers that didnt sound nearly as good as these "cheap" drivers do. I'll continue to save money on these and smile knowing that others (not here or you necessarily) have spend thousands more and continue to search for their definition of sonic bliss.

Cheers and happy listening🍻
