The survival of the fittest.

How long has Tekton been around?
Verdict is out as to long term success. 
Price could be either value or a marketing ploy. Product availability would be how efficient is the speaker being made/distributed.
Manufacturer association relates to companies like Sony, Yamaha...two very successful speaker companies.
Not projecting as great sound defines my search for the best audio I can afford.
Just skeptical as to the education/vulnerability aof the market.

Interesting two responses from the Tweak Evangelist and the Count of Concrete. 

I reckon I could simplify the post. What makes Bose, Klipsch, Kef, Polk, Sony, Martin Logan, Wharfdale, Wilson endure and succeed? (others could be added.)

It's not bait and switch and your circular argument could discount any discussion as to merit. Don't adhere dynamat to your brain thinking this is an attack on Tekton. Bose is more successful than Tekton. Why? Tekton sounds better as most would agree. It would be great if Tekton turned into Bose, or not? Another question but germane. Your experience in regard to the magazines is most illuminating. 

Which leads back to fit and finish. The speaker may still sound golden but if the MDF is crumbly and the vinyl blistering; going to be a detriment to success. Some companies, like OHM, have a trade in policy to mitigate cosmetic degradation. And possibly allow audio advancements.
