Actual Lead Time on Tekton Speakers

Sounds like all you need to do then is start a fourth company, this one building speakers so good the demand is so great you cannot keep up. Heck it is so easy you probably could have done it in the five months you wasted waiting. 

I have to call BS on that Miller. I spent 20 years in the loudspeaker business from manufacturing to advertising and PR. Fact is that Tekton  are getting away with what they can. This is not a problem of manufacturing capacity. It's about cash flow and supply chain management. They are pushing their cash flow issues out to the customer so as not to pay for the financing of operating expenses. If not, they would be holding off on credit card charges until shipping, or at most just taking a 20% non-refundable deposit on each order. Either would be fair play in my book. 

BTW, I currently oversee over 1200 workers in 7 vertical industries across the country today. I don't need a lecture from an armchair audio enthusiast about optimizing business practices. 

I say that with love in my heart.  ;-) 

Tekton are not getting away with anything. Nobody forced you, not to place the order, not to wait week after week. And of all your wonderful business experience nobody saw you claim to be a psychoanalyst who knows why Tekton is run the way it is run.   

Nobody needs a lecture from a rear view driver pretending to know how another guy runs his business, let alone why. That would be, what is the word for it? Oh yeah, pretty sure the word for that is BS. I have to call BS on that, spacecadet65. 

One thing for sure, if ever I want an authority who knows the inner workings of the mind of someone they never met, I know who to ask: The spacecadet. 

I ordered a pair of 4-10 subs this year & Tekton did not take the money out of my account until the subs actually shipped. Love the subs BTW, & suspect you'll love the 2-10 as well.  

A 20% deposit seems fair. I know that many of their speakers are custom orders, but since the demand is there, any speaker that is refused after 18 weeks gets sold to the next guy in line and Eric gets to keep the deposit. Seems like a win for Tekton. I would not be happy with giving up my $$ for months on end while playing the waiting game.
