@ks2 In response to your comment, I would suggest that you can be very comfortable with the Tekton line. I suspect the newer Perfect SET is another excellent speaker and a huge value. The VAST majority of Tekton owners are very very happy owners. It's just that some have focused on rearticulating a very small number on negative posts over and over and over. This skews ones perception. As teajay points out, some very high end brands all have things that go wrong. It's part of life.
I will say this. I know of NO speaker line that offers so much for so little. This is not opinion, it is simple math. Add up the cost of the drivers alone in the DI's, for example, relative to their price. It's a crazy low mark up. Eric has offered the audio community a huge value here. MORE importantly, he knows how to blend the drivers in a special way. One uniformed poster suggested a "DIY" effort with Tekton which is just sheer ignorance. I've done a few DIY builds with good results--but nothing close to my DI's. Nor would I ever fool myself into thinking "I could do that."
