Tekton Double Impacts

Who is zero fidelity?  Is it just some guy in a base ball hat?

Ah yes, unfortunately one can still not criticize Tekton speakers in the Tekton thread.  That's kind of sad, really, the pack mentality that springs up.  They are not perfect speakers.  No speaker is, is that so hard to accept?  

The cabinets are square or rectangular boring boxes that come in various paint jobs of odd colors.  I find them outright ugly.  The drivers are of a budget off-the-shelf variety that will not last the 20-30 years + of the better designs.  Their frequency responses swing 6db+-.  Some like this, some don't.

Some embrace these choices and some don't.  It's not the end of the world, folks.

Thanks for your kind wishes, MC, hopefully you will one day take your own advice on maturity.  

Mofo,  Sterophile measured the Enzo, and found a 6 db peak at 60-70 hz, and a 6 db dip at 2000 hz.  Since many of the Tekton models do not give the frequency range with the + or - db range, it stands to reason that many models have dips and peaks as the Enzo does.

All I'm saying is that Tekton does not make perfect speakers, and neither does anyone else.

Anyway, I'll bow out, back to regular Tekton posters.

213, I don’t believe anyone would have issue if less than positive was posted bout Tektons by someone who has actually spent time listening to them, and were not happy or found issue with what they heard. To speak negatively about them based on what others have said who also have never heard them, seems to be uninformed at best...

1) This forum, and every audio forum, is full of people that offer opinions on stuff they don’t own. That’s simply a fact of life.

2) You don’t have to own the Tekton speakers to decide whether or not you like the color options. Or the boxy cabinets. Either one likes boxy shapes or they don’t.

I’m not speaking negatively about Tekton based on what others have said, I’m merely observing the cabinet designs, color options, drivers used and what Stereophile measured.  Those factors, or what you get for the price points, precludes me from wanting to take the next step, audition them.  That's what people do, look at the various features and form a short list when making a purchase decision.  Some decide that they like what they see, and audition, some decide they don't like what they see, and that's just life.

That’s actually far more informed than what some posts on this forum say when dissing or loving certain amps, cables, loudspeakers or dacs.
But again, people will always form an opinion and post it. If you don’t like it, there are many more posts that gush while not yet owning the Tektons that you can focus on if you wish.

Again, it’s really not a big deal. Tekton speakers are not perfect. No speaker is. If you have issues with this concept, then I can’t help you.

It looks like Tekton is very busy, and unfortunately sometimes emails can get missed. It’s not ideal, but the added cost to each speaker sold when a full office staff is hired to answer hundreds of emails and phone calls, as well as folks that frankly need way too much hand holding(not present company, please don’t misunderstand), would be really high.

Let me say this about Tekton. For a company to be in business this long, and have a product that has a still growing fan base, they must be doing something right. No company would be in business this long if they were dropping the ball with customer service.

Slickmachine, your experience, unfortunately, can happen with any brand. I’ve had items simply not show up, and when I made enquiries found out that the company(not Tekton) somehow got my address fouled up. The Fedex experience can happen with all carriers too, especially with heavier items and delivery people that frankly should get fired.

Anyway, that the owner of a company would come onto a forum and speak directly and be up front with a customer, that’s a rare thing, and is a mark of a respectable organization. Keep the faith, I’m sure it will end well.

Sorry about your basement project, that sucks. You’ve got a bit of a challenge there. Hopefully in a year you’ll look back and chuckle about the whole thing.

Actually, some(not all) owner comments can be just as bad as some non owner comments.  The bliss of new ownership coupled with inexperience and a desire to share online.  Overly positive or gushing reviews, and a complete lack of understanding what they are hearing from their new gear.  

I tend to throw out all the haters' and ecstatic comments/reviews and look for those who are balanced enough to find good and bad in a product.  Strengths AND weaknesses, it gives one an insight that the fanboy comments just don't offer.
