Tekton versus Klipsch

I came very close to producing a speaker for production, a 95db 5 ohm 15 inch 2 way.  I wanted a very high value speaker and I looked long and hard at producing high quality sound while cutting cost where I could.  I built 4 different prototype cabinets trying very hard to get the cabinet stiff and inert while keeping cabinet weight down.  Everything is a balancing act. 
I've sat in front of a couple of Tekton speakers, he does use cheaper parts and he does cut cost on cabinets, but they are well thought out, well designed speakers.  I'm sure that if you wanted to drop and extra grand or two into a given model that Eric would beef up the cabinets and improve crossover parts for you. I doubt that he would change drivers, that would require a whole new design, but if you would want to pay it, I'm sure its worth asking.  I hope this explanation might help a few of you out there.  Tim 

@timlub,
Given your expertise do you have any thoughts on the theoretical or practical advantages of utilizing series crossovers? They are definitely less common than their parallel alternatives.

While I have not heard the Tekton, I can say that matching components to speakers is a big deal, and there is probably a combination that will make them sound subjectively good.

My current journey started with Heresy IIIs and a McIntosh integrated… sorely disappointing. Moved those out of the way for Cornwall IIIs and was only a little happier. 
A friend found a pair of 300b SET monoblocks for me, and “that has made all the difference” with the Cornwalls.  A second set of 300b monoblocks are driving the Heresy IIIs in my dining room/office, and they are doing exactly what I hoped for from the beginning. 
Many will say, “duh.” But tuition is part of the deal. 

My Viking 62 is class one fishing machine. It weigh close to 100,000 pound and go 42 knot. Quit dilly dally with say this speaker so much better than that at bargain price point. Built the best and stock holding Putz thinking about value nobody but cheap or can’t afford stress about value. Who wants echo chanber big refrigerators box for ding dong. I have big Maggie in my gym and looking to get smaller Maggie with rel woofer for boat salon. Happy fish

Wow that’s deep.
