In Canada the pre-trial informal evaluation meeting by a full judge weeds out the unfair lawsuits. Mostly.... That might be something the USA could consider?

I had a case that was filed in Harris County District Court in 2017 that I didn't get to try until 2023. Google Alexandra Smoots-Thomas.

Yikes man, you should hire better lawyers than her. I'm sure you would have gotten heard sooner if you hadn't had her representing you.

She was the Judge. I'm the attorney that couldn't get his client's case to a jury trial because her court was on ice while she was under indictment,Yikes man, you should hire better lawyers than her. I'm sure you would have gotten heard sooner if you hadn't had her representing you.
This is like a train wreak I can't stop logging into!
This is so wrong!
Hey, welcome to life!
So in his last video I watched. He actuality offered up the legal representation of his Dad for ASR litigation!!!!!!!!
Proof he thinks everyone he threatens is stupid! And proof of no concerns about conflict of interest!

Just wow... I think in Canada for a civil case they would have arranged for the file to go to a different judge.

Lol. That was the “Scientific Audiophile” in his youtube video where he interviews himself playing “Eric Alexander”. He offered to spend his dad’s money to pay for ASR and Erin to lawyer up.
He has a running gag that his character funds his
It offered a nice momentary relief of tension for me, anyhow.

That’s what I meant, sorry if my awkward sentence structure made it unclear who said what.
Nope my fault that it sounded like he offered his Dad's legal help.
Someone should look into his Dad's work history.
I am going to try to reconnect to an old client in the professional music business.
Did crazy cool work for them with accelerometer arrays on guitar bodies.
One of their principles was a patent attorney in a top 10 firm in the USA.
Have ASR contact me by my email soon please.

My advice is. Offer up his presentation room as all the same. Ask questions, listen get brochures.
I did some research. His concept is low mass drivers to articulate transients and also be dynamic and power efficient.
The array of tweeters are actually a center mounted tweeter. With a circular pattern of midrange drivers simulating a phase arrayed horn.
The other focus of his design is supper low mass.
Like I said before his speakers will sound like live sound PA speakers.
Not a fault! After all he is a drummer.
Be humble. Always extract the best in a person you can find.
Then you can walk away with something you found.
No one will take away.

He sold them as "monitors" -- that's "a fault," at least IMO.

As many suspected he didn't learn anything from the recent "minor online controversy" and probably never will
Some individuals always play the victim. The facts are out there, the guy bullies those that he thinks he can get away with.
He thought he could threaten Amir into submission, and it failed. He thought he could threaten Erin into submission, and it failed again.
He will try again, maybe even as we speak.
One good thing came from this: reviewers came together and offered moral and financial support to each other.
I only wish we would see more Tekton reviews now, if only to be a thorn in the guys side ;-). Then again, there are vastly more companies that play fair, maybe it's better to look towards them.

I never heard of Tekton until this "minor online controversy" happened but I personally think this bullying is the main reason why 99% of reviews online are only positive reviews (talking more about those from US).
To me it feels that a big number of reviewers just prefer not to publish a review if it's not all positive and as a consumer I have to ask: did the reviewer didn't get a chance to review the product or he reviewed it and was bad? and this is not only with audio gear but other consumer electronics, cars, etc.
The only help I can provide here is to contribute to legal fund (if needed).

I used to be the retained amplifier reviewer for AVForums, and I got a load of grief for not saying nice things about one particular product from a well known manufacturer.
I have a very strong conviction about transparency and trust, but in the end it's not worth the extreme grief.

Apart from everything else, the guy from Tekton has made the worst possible decision to defend his business. From a marketing standpoint, it’s a devastating move that will probably sink his company. People don’t want to buy products from someone they dislike.
And this man has managed to alienate pretty much the entire community—a situation he can't undo now. I can’t imagine how he ever thought it was a good idea. Where has he been for the last 25 years? There are tons of examples that say, 'Dude, don’t do it because the cure will be worse than the disease'... It’s like the Streisand Effect.
Even if he were right (which he isn’t), it’s never a good idea to try to defend oneself in that way because the audience perceives it as an attack on the content creator, who, needless to say, will be seen as the victim, not the villain. I can’t understand who advised this man, but it’s the worst decision he has ever made. Even if he were to win a hypothetical lawsuit, his company has created a burden of animosity that it won’t be able to shake off in any way, not even with tons of marketing money.
En español se dice... "salir de Guatemala para entrar en Guatepeor" jajaja.
