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.

Try listening to a pair. Bring your own CD. Turn them up. Make your own decision. Best advice I can give.

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)

 

"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."

That comment in no way jives with the other responses.
