Tekton Owners Thread

I've had them for a few months. Still love them. Mine had a minor cosmetic issue.. the cabinets started to split at the seams in a few spots. Possibly due to humidity over the summer and the glue not being 100% dry. Eric sent me replacements and when I got them there was a minor defect in one of the woofers in the new pair, a bit of a dent/crease in the dust cap so I took the liberty of swapping out a woofer from my pair instead of making another claim. Quality control might need a little work but I know they are a small business and I'm sure they have trouble keeping up with orders as it is so it's no big deal to me.
 
My M-Lore's are supposed to be here Wednesday. I sure hope there is no damage. I am tired of that crap. Wojciech came and picked up my Snell Type EII's yesterday. Real good dude. It was nice to talk audio with another forum member even though he wasn't here long. The M-lore's are replacing the Snells, so they better be good.
 
I hope there is no damage/flaws or whatever with your speakers. I, for one, have little patience or tolerance for quality control issues. I don't care how small or busy a company might be that's no excuse for shipping defective merchandise.

Before we get all quality control uproar, my pair arrived in pristine condition.

"The M-lore's are replacing the Snells," interesting... if I went vintage, I was thinking Snells.

I had seller's remorse within a minute of making the sale on Bartertown. It was too late once I had the money. I did sell them to a guy that was very happy to have such a clean pair of Type EII's.
 
I don't think there is a QC uproar and I am sure problems are rare as I have never read about any of their products arriving damaged or having problems.

The fact is, the products should show up in perfect condition regardless of company size. In fact you would think that since they are such a small company all products would be thoroughly inspected and tested before leaving the factory.

Unfortunately it seems the fella just had a bit of bad luck. Stuff happens.
 
"The fact is, the products should show up in perfect condition regardless of company size." Yep. If they take real money, they should deliver real products. Good to see Tekton stood behind their product when a defect did escape tho.
 
To be fair, the first pair showed up in mint shape. They didn't start to split until a week or two in I think.. I noticed one, one day while admiring them, then I noticed the next while playing a nice recording of the 1812 Overture with reall cannon shots and was watching the woofer excursion. I believe that's when the second started to split. Like I said, it could have been the humidity. Mine are in a basement and it was humid at times over the summer. Perhaps the glue hadn't settled all the way. It was hairline cracks, barely visible unless close up. Probably wouldn't have gotten any worse but when I buy something brand new, I want it to look brand new and didn't feel like messing with filler and spray paint on brand new speakers.

My thoughts exactly. For some reason I had thought the woofer was run wide open and a single cap on the tweeter.... not sure what I was thinking...

I thought the same but then I also thought I read somewhere that they had a special crossover design.. I don't know anything about building crossovers so I wouldn't know what works by looking at it but whatever he has in there works well since they are a great sounding speaker and the drivers blend seamlessly.
 
I got my M-Lores today. They came in great condition and unblemished. I have been playing them trying to break them in. About how long is the break in period on these?

Congrats on the purchase. Definitely looking forward to your listening impressions and comparisons between the horned heil. Will you be starting your own thread?
