I wouldn't worry about sending them back. Considering the rarity of them in your country and the huge buzz around them in dont think you would have any issue unloading them for what you paid. Just a thought.
To waltersalas, You having owned 3 tekton models, is the claimed efficiency difference between 96 (encores) and 99 (DI’s) dB noticeable in terms of impact or drive when you listen especially at lower levels? I don’t know if these are claimed or actually measured specs. Thanks
@singintheblues Tekton Design has shipped to a number of countries across the world. I recommend going with a standard finish for speed of delivery to you and for your ability to resell locally if you decide to, as an alternative option to returning them.
As for:
.......and are they as good as they say?
I say yes as do many other happy owners.
However, speaker choices are personal and system dependent. All the best with whichever speaker you choose to go with.
If I were to buy any speaker internationally, I would make sure I know all of the details upfront. I.E. Is full international shipping included, or is there an up charge? How would shipping damage claims be handled? (That is a biggie.) What is involved in returns if not satisfied? Do not rely on the people in a forum (no matter how good their intentions). Get the complete understanding of all facets directly from the manufacturer. Don't pull the trigger until you understand and are satisfied with all of the answers. Good luck.
