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??

Guessing you don't subscribe to Stereophile - there has been a monthly Tekton add.

craig159,

You claim that nobody at the price point has Eric's quality. Even though I never have heard a new pair of Tekton anything, and I'm sure they sound respectable at their price points. But even at his prices, large rectangle boxes with rough finishes, poor grill construction (if you actually get a pair), inexpensive drivers with dust caps that "dimple" in their shipping cartons, etc....Well, you get the gist. That's not quality engineering. There are companies out there that sell less expensive speakers than Tekton and sound respectable with very good fit-and-finish. IMO.

Your comments are factually inaccurate and you should listen to some Tekton speakers before disparaging them. Tekton drivers are quality choices and available on the open market -- a big plus for replacement needs. My set of DIs is finished well, the 2 sets of grills Eric sent me are well made and look fine.

Those are facts, period. Anyone can repeat criticisms but that doesn't make your approach helpful -- rather just the opposite.

craigl59,

My comments are factually accurate. Just re-read some of the comments by actual owners of Tekton speakers. And please re-read my post as you have taken what I said way out of context. I have visited several  of the highend speakers places of manufacture and talked in depth to their designers and I can assure you that that type of quality (Tekton's) doesn't make it out of there doorways. Any company can make a good pair of loudspeakers but it takes consistency to make them great.
