Tekton custom grills

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??

I have to agree with Kosst on this. It is inexcusable to have this kind of an issue on something so simple. Why in the world would the grills not ship with the speakers if they were ordered that way? If he has to hire out grill building to keep up with production, then that is what needs to happen. What happens if you have a real issue with the speaker? I went down this road with a different custom speaker builder. As good as the speakers sounded, I could never get past what happened during the build and delivery process.

"I think that this thread is 3 years old and the issue still persists is a real statement to the miserable management and questionable cash flow of the operation"

"Someone on another thread mentioned the awkward fit/appearance of the squared grills over the rounded edges and corners of the boxes".

"So I asked him to just send me the frames,grill cloth and the pegs and I would finish them myself since I'v built a few speakers."

"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"


I have to say,vey interesting reading on this forum some days.

The solution is simple. My advice to Eric is to out-source the manufacturing of the grills, then add the extra cost into the price. Out-sourcing would solve the delivery issue, and the added price may reduce the demand for those pesky buggers. Happier customers, reduced time/effort for him...Win Win!

Totem for one but they have started to provide them with more recent models. Dropping the ball with speaker grill orders is downright embarrassing. I think that was the oldest Tekton complaint I used to read about online. This isn’t a new issue for the manufacturer so you have to wonder why it has taken so long to come up with a resolve when there has been no end to new designs/products.
