thank you all for your comments and ideas. And the info about Amir and Tekton's squabble. It puts things in perspective for me. You guys may have saved me a great deal of heartache and trouble.
Has anyone here had any dealings with Tekton, particularly their subwoofers
As I explore options for replacing equipment I am it seems constantly finding new sources of components to consider. Tekton has appeared on my radar due to another thread here at audiogon. I just wondered if anyone has gone this direction for subwoofers in particular, but I also have questions about their full range speakers and what they are like to deal with. Given that the world of hi-fi has become even more of a smoke and mirrors game than it has been in the past, I am more cautious about who I am willing to throw down money for than I ever have been.

I have Tekton double impacts and impact monitors. Got the double impacts used and they crushed my existing speakers so much that I wanted to get the monitors as well. Took a while to get but was expected,like 8 weeks after they initially said 6. I ordered speaker cables and it took them months to send them after multiple promises to receive them. They're a small company and I don't think they have enough employees it seems for customer service stuff. They did send an extra pair of cables and apologized profusely, which is really nice I have to say. I've since replaced those cables with better ones but they're nice as backups. To end my rant, I was going to buy subs but after the months of waiting on the wires and being told they'd ship immediately, I was a little soured on them for my subs and went with rhythmiks instead, which I HIGHLY recommend for subs. Would love to hear a pair of 4-10s or 6-10s but felt I'd get a smoother experience with rhythmik. For what it's worth, with my tektons tops and rhythmik bottoms, I'm at +/-3 DB frequency response from 25 hz to 20 khz at my listening position with limited room EQ. Tekton has a pair of 4-10s on their specials for $1700. Definitely tempting... but I do love my rhythmiks |
@jrareform Hard to beat out Rythmiks in the sub world, but, the tekton subs with a driver at head height and above do help deal with some heightwise & coupled modes, even if someone doesn’t quite get the physics behind how they couple into a room. Otherwise, in many instances, one may need to start lifting a regular sub off the floor in a multisub config. One may regularly see some Rel stacks that sum to a small fortune and continue to sound like mud, for example, in some of the ’high end’ rooms.... A single one of these Tektons has the potential to beat em all out in execution...(at normal listening levels for most guys, 85-ish db & under, that is)
