There are some active discussions concerning the delivery of speakers and specifically speaker grills for the incredible Tekton Speakers. But nothing on this forum. I'm now nine months waiting on grill delivery. Anyone else??
Aniwolfe thanks for the timetable , I did not realize it’s 3 yrs, if only I have the right anchors , I can put the hole , No big deal...still lazy bec I listen without cover anyway....
They sounded bad (muffled sounding) with the grills. I would avoid. I only put them on when I have company over or not using the system for a few days.
@jayctoy - Yep, it is Karma who I have been dealing with. She has been very good at responding.
@aniwolfe I am am glad I got holes, at least. I didn’t realize you went through that.
@kosst_amojan - very good point.
For those who have finally received their grilles...have you noticed any audible change with or without them? OBVIOUSLY they were voiced without grilles, so my hope is they will not be detrimental to that voicing.
Keep in mind your responding to a post that Audiofreak made over 3 years ago. So chances he might not see this?
One should not be making excuses for the no hole debacle. If you order them with holes, they need to send you new speakers if they don’t have them. You should not have to make a trip to Home Depot to resolve this at all.
Audiofreak mine don’t have holes too, I can put holes but no anchor plastic for the holes, I emailed them to send me , no answers yet, but will try to look a HomeDepot...That’s the biggest problem....I like the covers though.
Wow this subject I am unfortunately familiar with. I went through exactly what Audiofreak went through over 3 years ago. I ordered my speakers with grills from Tekton and got no holes for the grilles. This was obviously in 2017. Eric had to make me new speakers not just because of the no grill holes, but for other reasons as well (bad paint job, mid bass drivers not mounted correctly, speakers poorly packed so binding posts were sticking out of the box loose and scratched up). Loss of profit for them and just added frustration altogether with this buying experience.
Then to get the grills just like you said kristofa. Calling them, emailing them is the only way to get them to ship. Took over 2 months. I wish they were upfront about not getting grills with the speakers. I can understand if they do not include grills because of the trial period, but it seems like that is not the case. Tekton keep kicking themselves in the face for no reason. Its almost like they like it. But Eric can make an excellent speakers that is for sure. So sad!
Three years later, and perhaps not much has changed. I ordered grilled with my DIs a little less than two months ago. I bother them once a week. I have gotten lots of excuses, but they keep kicking it down the road. I like the speakers, but I want what I paid for.
I was sent grilles for my Pendragons and my Pendragons had no holes to put the grilles in. I asked Eric SEVERAL times how the grilles attached to the speaker... I assumed since there were obviously no holes in the front of my speakers, that it was a magnet setup.... wrong. I have some nice grilles sitting in my room that cannot attach to the speaker.
My speakers took 6 months longer than he claimed they would. Three months after the speakers arrived, he doesn't even respond to my very polite emails about the grills I ordered at the same time as the speakers.
That is not the point. Yes, I can survive without them and life will go on. But if you were to buy a new refrigerator and paid for a water filter system, had it delivered and was told that it would be delivered shortly time after time, would you just say "oh well" I've gotten by 2 months.........the examples can go on and on.
