I see them advertised in Stereophile but never heard any since you can only buy direct. A coworker got a pair of the Mini Lore Monitor speakers to give to his son for Christmas in that bright blue finish for him to use in his garage. My friend is an audiophile and got them out and played them for several days to break them in for his son. He was pretty happy with their sound. $700. He thinks his son will be very happy, especially with how loud they will play without distortion and without having to have a $2000 amp to drive them.
Is Eric (the owner and designer of Tekton) high-strung? Didn't he threaten a few YouTube flunkies with being sued because of a bad review of some of his other speakers? I can't remember. But even so, my friend thought he was great about communicating when the speakers would be shipped and all that. Plus my friend said they came boxed better than some speakers he has bought costing about $5K.
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.

@moonwatcher I can't speak to whether Eric is high strung or not, he and I exchanged an email or two and he seemed normal enough in that limited contact. @jayctoy I have seen other favorable comments about Rel so they are definitely worth checking out. Thank you for the info.

@livinon2wheels yes, check out REL. Their ads are a little pretentious, "At REL we only make subwoofers so we are the best at them"...whatever. But they are noted to maybe be a step up in both price and audio quality (more texture) compared to say, SVS. But for me, I'll probably get a SVS sub (the SB2000 Pro) and call it a day for my living room. REL does make some vintage looking subs with great specs that might match your decor better (wooden ones). Pretty things. WAF guaranteed. |

If anyone is interested, here is the uncut version: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/tekton-m-lore-speaker-review.48732/ You don't need to read many of the 137 pages to realize that, as is most often the case with real life, things are not 100% black and white.
This is false, actually. In fact I just read an ASR review written by Amir himself that thoroughly trashes a Harman Group product. It was surprising too, because the Venu360 is generally well-regarded by folks who do audio for a living. |
