Has anyone here had any dealings with Tekton, particularly their subwoofers

My negative comments were based on appearance only...and were intended to be funny.

@livinon2wheels Many Tekton models (not all) with the different color combinations look like some expression of modern art to me, quirky not ugly. Oddly, my spouse liked the look of the double impacts I had in the past (!!) though it was in my office room. She thought the array looked like a flower.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder perhaps. For example, here is a guy sitting in front of some of the ugliest speakers on earth (in my eyes) saying that the look of Tekton speakers could be improved . Go figure.

Any thoughts on subs with serious infransonic output?

Rythmik F18, 18inch sealed servo sub or G25HP (dual opposed 15 inch, runner up)...Slamfest down to ~10 hz, but, very much a high fidelity sub without taking too much space or costing anything. I use a couple of these in a hybrid rig.

if your wallet or space is not an issue, ascendo from Germany should fit the ticket. The subs can get huge, infrasonic for days.

@livinon2wheels 

Also from Germany is Geithain, which is an extremely well regarded audio brand in Europe. Ex-GDR, been around forever, very old school. Here are their subwoofers. They’re cardioid, so less likely to suffer boundary interference response issues therefore easier to place and get right.

Geithain has no distribution / service in the US and word is that it’s kind of a labor of love to get their speakers over here, although some folks successfully have.

Good luck with your search!

@deep_333 Thanks for the link for the rythmik F18 sub that looks like a solid possibility. A pair of those should do a decent job of energizing my theater room. Certainly gonna put those on the list. The ascendos, if you look at the specs are 15 db down at 30 Hz, so they wouldnt be on my list.

@devinplombier The lack of distribution in the US is a non starter for me...there are enough things to juggle to try to get a house back in livable condition that taking on the hassle of trying to get something shipped from across the pond kills that as an acceptable situation.

@mark200mph - my dad was a physicist too :) and I agree that we should just enjoy the music. God knows there is enough good music to listen to I will never hear it all.

Op thanks for your response. Rhytmik are good. I have one. Rel are on sale at TMr audio,com . Check them out.

I see them advertised in Stereophile but never heard any since you can only buy direct. A coworker got a pair of the Mini Lore Monitor speakers to give to his son for Christmas in that bright blue finish for him to use in his garage.  My friend is an audiophile and got them out and played them for several days to break them in for his son. He was pretty happy with their sound. $700. He thinks his son will be very happy, especially with how loud they will play without distortion and without having to have a $2000 amp to drive them. 

Is Eric (the owner and designer of Tekton) high-strung? Didn't he threaten a few YouTube flunkies with being sued because of a bad review of some of his other speakers? I can't remember. But even so, my friend thought he was great about communicating when the speakers would be shipped and all that. Plus my friend said they came boxed better than some speakers he has bought costing about $5K.
