I believe so. Are they really huge with a ton of arrayed drivers? If so, I think they were in the price range of my Quatro's. They sounded very exciting, but their tone didn't match the VAndersteen's. I personally don't like any of the high number of driver speakers I've heard over the years. That includes those Pipedreams and variants.
I understand why folks like the Tekton's though. Like horns, they excite and many will use them with the smaller tube amps, but I personally don't like what they do to vocals and a few other things. That's when you lose some of the magic of what the SET amps can do. I do love the SET sound from mids on up. That's why I love the Vandersteen amp as he uses and SET design on top and SS where he needs the power down lower in the range.
Just a totally different speaker than what I like, but there are a lot of big name speakers out there now that are tonally off, but exciting in some part or all of the range, but sell well. That's why there are different speakers and there are always folks who love them. All is good.
