Tekton custom grills

I think this thread remains a good example of "ya gets what ya's pays for."
Of course, the popularity of Tekton relies a lot on the idea you are actually getting more than you are paying for, in terms of sound quality relative to other manufacturer's prices.  And that's great.  But reality can't totally be escaped - and it seems the general fit and finish (from reports I've read) and customer service remains in the "get what you pay for" realm.
Frankly the issues stated here would drive me nuts, and I'm willing to pay more for better service/finish/aesthetics etc.

Mr M...I actually agree with you and roll my eyes when fanboys chime.I heard Tekton, ive seen them,tap on the cabinets ,examine the quality,looked at the Eminence drivers.Junk imo,the cabinets have little to no  engineering research behind them,they look like junk,Tap on one,come on,lol.Selected drivers,thats a joke.How many who bought Tektons complained about mismatched speakers,one blue one grey,lol..Let's face it Eminence is not on the cutting edge of technology.I get that for some its an upgrade but lets examine what speakers are being replaced,and dont feed me that bs replaces 30k speakers,bunk,Constant complaints follow this company,from grills not fitting,no holes in cabinets, or ariving at all,Mismatched speakers,cap used were not as advertised, poor paint on the horrble look caninets...on and on.....and ive heard them!

I got mine in December and the paint is flaking where the grills touch the cabinets. 

I had considered Tektons for my SE amp...liked the efficiency but had no place to hear them, and "buy and return" doesn't do it for me. Bought a pair of new "open box" Capitol Edition (75th anniversary of Capitol Records...meh...) Klipsch Heresy IIIs for 1000 bucks off list, and the grills were sort of saggy (look at the pic on the Klipsch site and those are saggy also), so I bought a pair of stock Heresy black grills that look great (and it was easy to move the  "special" badge to the new grills). I mentioned all this to Klipsch and they said..."sorry"...and offered to send me new grills for free. Now THAT'S the way you do it, and Tekton should address this grill thing as, hey...it's competitive out there.

"Any company can make a good pair of loudspeakers but it takes consistency to make them great." Really!

No company is perfect. I can assure you that I have purchased several products from reputable companies that end up being defective.

It’s the nature of production. As a person who has done production for years, failure just happens. It’s how often that is important.

I don’t know you mr_m. But have you ever run a business? Ever done production? It’s not easy. Out of thousands and thousands of speakers sold how many really did not meet the customer’s expectations. I’m guessing not too many or we would hear hundreds and hundreds of issues. From what I can tell most customers seem happy.

Have you heard any of Tekton’s speakers in a controlled environment? Just curious? Not saying that Tekton’s speakers are for everyone, but listening
and then offering an opinion it’s more credible. But in the end, it is still an opinion.

As far as the grille situation. That could be improved.
