All this fuss over one of Tektons cheapest models and a two way at that. While not condoning or agreeing with anyone's behavior I do think this is all a bit much. All these threads are starting to feel like a pile on. People here seem more upset over this than I was when I was actually sued by a patient once (they lost BTW)

I have a few Tekton models and another pair I purchased for a friend. They are to my ears very nice speakers. I have the older version Dynamite with 4 tweeters, an Electron SE with central Be tweeter and I purchased for my friend a perfect set 2-10. Everyone who as listened to them has said complementary things. I also own KEF meta speakers, Paradigm Persona and used to own ML electrostats. Of them all the Electrons are my favorite. I don't measure speakers or have any expertise on speaker design for what its worth - and I dont at all doubt those who have taken measurements of some Tekton models. I hope the manufacturer does indeed post measurements as he has promised and a productive dialogue can continue.
as mentioned before, i heard tekton double impacts and thought they were great, especially at the asking price. so much so that i've always kept an eye out for used tektons. (i rarely purchase anything new.)
but, while some folks may over-react and trash tektons for their performance, what's really at issue is the fact that eric is a(n) [insert fave word to get you banned here]. for me, i don't care how good something is - if the corporation is nasty, i'm not interested in the product. which is why i won't shop tesla, walmart, apple, starbucks, amazon, goya, barilla, chick fil-a, home despot, h-d, etc. (yes, i realize that i will end up a hermit living in a cave if i take this to its extreme, but i do what i can.)
now i can add tekton to that list of product i'm no longer interested in, new or used. and eric has only eric to thank for this. i have no issue w/the product, based on reviews of the product or my personal experience w/it; only the mfr's reactions to the reviews and his threats directed towards reviewers.
this and
only this are what the overwhelming majority of folks watching and replying to this thread are feeling.
