First, I am a Tekton owner. I have a set of towers that I like very much. At one time I pushed many others towards Eric's products. I no longer do that. I no longer recommend Tekton. Not for a purchase new anyway. 
Though the Tekton speakers are quite good for the money I no longer feel that they are a good company to do business with. It does not matter how good your product is if you can not complete orders. Many have waited months (or more) for just the grills that were purchased with the original order. Some orders for speakers without grills are taking 6 months or more to be delivered. Emails are not responded to and phone calls go unreturned. It seems between his IRL project, racing interest and life in general Eric is no longer able to keep up.
It doesn't matter how good a product is if your company is not there to support it. 
Here's where the "not for a new purchase anyway" part comes in. 
On the used market a 1 to 2 year old Tekton brings roughly 60% to 70% of original purchase price. I have seen them for less. I regularly watch the market because I WILL purchase used. You just have to decide exactly which one you want and watch for it.
