Tekton M-Lore Speaker Review

[tomtoo]

In total seriousness, I'd like to hear a pair. But, dollar for dollar, I think a pair of, e.g., Altec Valencias would be neck and neck with them, and - although a pair of "A" morph Valencias ain't cheap nowadays - one would still be left with far, far more foldin' money in one's billfold with the Altecs vis-a-vis the Orangutans!




(full disclosure: I am a former Valencia owner & I still have a pair of broadly similar Altec Santiagos)

Seeing some altecs allways give me the vibes.

I am a fan of the Altec sound.
I'll stop now, since this thread's topic is different -- the intersection, though, being high sensitivity.

Having a nice conversation can only be good for this somehow not fun thread. Peace and rockon!

He did a video praising Erin saying he would send him more speakers to review. Now he says that???

 

[montyliam]

Very strange. Especially considering Erin understandably stated that he never wants to deal with the company again in his V2 review.

 

[amirm]

I think that was his tactic to say Erin is better than me because he took his video down and I did not do the same with my review. Now that his scheme didn't work, he is going back to complaining about him.

Eric is only “obliged” to provide evidence for his claims insofar as he wants to engage in good faith and have his claims taken seriously.

Since he chooses not to do so, nobody is “obliged “to take anything he says seriously or representative of reality.

Now this is a guy don’t deserve any kind of respect… even if his speakers are SOTA his personality issue will stop me from purchasing, you just can’t trust a company owned by a guy with this sort of mental issues, not to say his designs are mediocre at best

The fact that he segued from acoustic measurements to physical measurements is an indication of a style of argument that bounces along on the distracting/superficial. Perhaps he thinks he is a Jedi?

actually I am wondering... in US law could one sue the vendor if he claims that the hole left open is such a problem, yet didn't mention a set of spikes or foot is necessary for it to perform at what it is designed? it kind of sounding like a class lawsuit type of thing to me, if he really liked litigation

It can be entertaining to talk about scenarios where the ones we agree with revenge-sue the ones we disagree with over some small injustice. I suppose it's a little bit better than talking about beating people up over some small injustice. But personally I'd rather have my nose broken than be ruined financially.

Not really. You typically have to prove standing and actual harm and you likely could not show either.

TBH I don’t think revenge in a sense of completely ruining someone is a good idea, that was kind of joke side of things, just as a non US resident sometimes the class action lawsuit is pretty lame sounding, so wonders if such BS comments from a designer counts. I apologise if my intention was misleading in the last message to feel like I really want Eric to just die off as a company owner.

Sadly after I did a small search a yesterday about the incident and quite shocked about how Eric’s “response” videos were uploaded, deleted subsequently and reupload to YouTube together with the discussion I didn’t anticipate happens outside of here, I feel like he’s already done a lot of damage to his own reputation and financial status already. Sincerely hope he will publish measurements as he said and stop the litigation thing from here on. It’s a boring world if only rave reviews comes up for products

Sounds like stooping to Eric's level to me, and worthy of the same contempt.

But what if the supersonic jets damaged something?

or the warm jets, for that matter...

Probably meaningless, or more suited for the Call for Humor thread...

It looks like Tekton has a new speaker: https://tektondesign.com/product/sp...es-control-monitor-red-finish-5000-delivered/

For $5,000, it can act as a studio monitor "workhorse", an audiophile "dream", and a party "champ" and, most importantly, the feet are already installed! There is an "ultimate crossover" option for $1,600 (!!! What the...??? For that amount of money, I'd like to know what it is about for sure!).
It also has the usual tweeter array... and I wonder if the 4x 10" transducers qualify as a "woofer array" ???

No trace of actual measurements... I wonder if Mr. Alexander bought himself a new Ferrari (see the T-shirt !!!) instead of investing in proper measurement equipment...
Oh and they finally erased the "Days without incident = 0" on the board behind the speaker: way to go Tekton !!!

I would love to see what would happen if Eric Speakergenius bought a Ferrari which developed a problem during the warranty period that the dealer was unable to fix even after numerous attempts.

I can imagine that during one of the conversations during which Eric was complaining to the dealer, the dealer told Eric: "Now you know how your customers feel."
