Tekton Design Speakers Price Increase


Yeah, it's my first post and in full disclosure, I saw an amp on here I wanted so I signed up and bought it through the classifieds. 

Anywho, looks like prices went up across the board today at the Tekton shop. Glad I got my order in at Tekton before inflation/materials or demand finally pushed the cost up. Anyone else drop some stacks on Tektons just recently?

Honestly, the first time I saw the model I ordered (not sharing until I have my review and comparison with my prior setup complete) I took one shocked look at the arrays and thought "this guy got scammed and bought the worlds ugliest speakers. What an idiot!" Those arrays, lord. But then I auditioned them and ever since I had to build a copy- system and get a pair. I'll share more on my build after the room remodel and setup. 

Back to Tekton, looks like materials are getting pricey (I noticed lumber went way up at the local box store). But how do people feel about the base prices increasing on models marked "sale" and the sale price increasing? Makes me think of the Shane company radio ads that criticize competition who mark up, put on sale and are essentially charging more. With so many blogs and videos praising a set-price synonymous with the name of the speaker build, for example 3k equaled base DI's (not $3,299) I think this will be harmful. Better to note on the home page that supplier pricing has caused a temporary increase, shipping charge, or something of that sort and that's necessary in this case because Tekton's price-point has so integrated with the product that youtubes and reviews have the price in the title or in the image. In fact, those reviews and video stills are on Tekton's website and show a conflict in pricing. 

Get your fire-suits out because Tekton haters will flame. I've never even posted and I'm aware of the Tekton hate group, hoping I can get an unbiased couple of comparisons out there in the future for home mid-fi audio guys who don't care about the technical stuff, just hi value systems for the masses. 

Thanks for being patient with a new poster, I'm not a forums guy.

My, how clever.
On the contrary, I am quite cognizant of the big picture.
Actually my response, though not quite concise, is quite accurate.
There is nothing petty about it. It points out your perpetual habit of confusing your opinion with absolute fact, and a penchant for overstatement. I am just happy you ceased your ridiculous conspiracy theory foolishness. Has anyone come for you yet? Election overturned? Mass riots in every Capitol? Are masks life saving or useless today?
You have much to offer this forum with your in-depth audio knowledge which is quite impressive. Much more so than mine.
It is a shame it most times gets lost among pointless name calling and your "I’ll push you off the swings at recess" responses.
And that, is truly not seeing the forest for the trees.
Harbeth has tripled their prices in the last dozen years and they don't seem to be lacking buyers. 
Things, regardless of cost, are priced at what the market will allow.
If Tektons are that good and that popular, it only makes good business sense to increase the price. 
OP I am going to do what millercarbon warned you about....

911 is a good car - I owned one. And my M3 was a good car too.  I have owned multiple Porsches and like them but that doesn’t mean I don’t like Honda’s, Ford or Hyundai. 

OP 10% price increase really isn’t bad for Tekton and while I haven’t heard them - there’s a lot of great speakers for ‘reasonable’ prices just like there are wonderful $10 bottles of wine. The secret is knowing about them. 
@Miller, yes sir that's me. I got bored during quarantine ha. I officially ordered them. Tammy is real pleasant to deal with, she will get you the answer you want. I like the approach of the company in general, good for them. That is pretty neat about the PCA too, looked it up. My guy at work would go nuts for that ha. But I am sure your opinion is no more valuable than the countless hours Carp played all those same cars on Gran Turismo. I drive a Kia Sorento, sure I'm close too. WHY??!!! Like the energy it takes, kills me lol. 

For the carp in the river
