Tekton Double Impacts Ordered Jan 3, 2017 and NOTHING


On Tuesday Jan 3, 2017 I called Tekton and ordered a pair of Double Impacts directly with Eric.

He answered all my questions and I went with all the upgrades and bi-wire binding posts.

Plus the PROBLEMATIC one (Not known by me at the time) Walnut veneers with gloss finish.

He said it would take a couple of months and I agreed on waiting telling him I wanted a quality product.

Two months went by and I emailed and received no response. 

I called and he said he was working on them and that happened every other week with him saying he would have them shipped next week last time we talked, three weeks ago. It is April 27, 2017 now.

Then last week I receive a voicemail from this lady and when I called back she told me Eric would not be able to build my speakers. Too many orders but nothing offered as far as options. I asked about available sets and Carla (if I recall her name correctly) said that Eric would be the one to contact about that. 

In disbelief I cancelled my order. 

I started my process well before the excellent thread about the DI started and before the reviews were released.

I was looking forward to having my set months ago. Not to be for me. 

I am sharing my experience with fellow AudioGonrs not to take away from the success of Tekton but to make others realize that maybe due to growing pains not everything goes well.

Any suggestions or comments will be appreciated.

Actually, I do not have an axe to grind. But I also do not need to act blind and ignore what I have read here from people with less than stellar experiences. You miss the point of Audiogon, to write about good and bad products, and good and bad experiences.

Frankly, for the short time the speaker has been out I don’t know how you can honestly be boasting so about the speaker. It is more useful to hear evaluations after a product has settled in and the honeymoon period is over.


And by the way, you may not have noticed, but I did not come on all gloom and doom on a post where the OP was singing the praises about his great transaction.  Maybe you should reread what caused this thread to be written in the first place.
jetter,
based on what you have stated, you will never be interested in doing business with this company.  So why do you give a rip about follow up reviews on this speaker "after the honeymoon period is over?"
Your agenda remains the same--to take every opportunity you can to disparage Tekton.  Anybody ready all your posts can see that.

I certainly respect your right to an opinion.  But there is a difference between an opinion and an agenda.

Time to move on.

corelli,

You keep referring to my agenda. Lets look at this a little closer. You have 70 posts starting in Dec 2016, of which 67 consecutive ones are praising Tekton DI’s. Sheds a light on who the person is with an agenda, N’est-ce pas?

No, you do not respect my right to an opinion, your attempt at censorship is boorish.
