hobbyhands,
Did you read any of my posts closely? Not once have I dissed the sound of Tekton. And no, I have not heard a pair. I mainly commented on construction technique and quality control. I have been to a quality speaker manufacturer called Legacy Loudspeakers. I'm sure you have heard of them. Their quality is beyond reproach. Each and every speaker is checked over and over for quality. Grills are custom made for each pair individually because the slightest offset will make an ill fitting pair of grills or ones that won't stay on the speaker at all. Bill Dudleston, the chief designer of Legacy listens to every pair of loudspeakers that go out his door and he makes damn sure that each speaker matches the final prototype. Do they have quality issues at times? Of course they do, but they will rectify the problem ASAP. Customer service is paramount to them. I know this because I know Bill Dudleston personally.
Finally, sir, I have never run a business but I have done production. I ran a 25 Million dollar piece of machinery that would produce a raw product worth $10,000 each every two hours. I had to simultaneously run three computers to monitor specifications so as nothing was out of spec. My job and livelihood depended on it. There wasn't a day that I worked for 30 years that I could have been fired for even one out of spec product if I had gotten careless or indifferent. This is very important when one of your customers is Boeing, if you get my drift.....
