Quality issues with Tekton speakers....
I have been following this thread with interest, too. If the photo posted by the OP reflects the actual color difference between the two drivers (and isn't mainly an artifact of uneven lighting, as someone else pointed out) then, sure, I'd be unha...

Can someone who has handled one of the Coincident Dynamo 34SE amps comment on the build quality? 
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
