Thank you for a very good video This pre looks rather good
Their speakers look like shtt why so many tweeters?
Tekton is a small business and speakers are made to order. They're not mass produced, so I can see why it takes time and why there is a cancellation fee. What they should do is offer walnut veneer and a grille to hide the drivers.
Very nice review. I recently bought the D5 Pro amp that is a DartZeel clone. While this amp runs hot it sounds extremely high end…. I had a Goldmund Telos and I would say that it rivals this amp. I now need a good pre amp to match. Thanks for the review.
burning bullshit . although you afe welckme to prove what you state.
Tekton cabinets suck
Only sucker's buy Tektons, considering the attitude of the owner. Worst speaker company on planet.
Reminds me of FM Acoustic clone ? Balance is 4db higher gain, single ended is 10db down…so when you use balance it will be higher.
You order custom stuff you wait for production time no big surprise. They are great speakers!
they are all terribly ugly! the colors the driver layout the size ... and where is the midrange?
You spotted an issue that was not from shipping and didn't get a response ?? My money has a severe allergy to that failing.
The owner threatens to sue reviewers - boycott the brand
What? The owner of tekton threatens this?
another company tried to do that a few months back as well i can't recall the name now - they threatened some reviewer ,a young ish dude mid 20s think he is English .
I have to say, I’m disappointed in their lack of following up for the grille orders. How can they not give some updates? That’s wrong. If I buy a pair, it will probably be in person. They’re only 30 minutes away. I’ll try to snag something he has ready to go out the door.
Tekton does have a problem with over promising under delivering when it comes to delivery of products they need to be doing the opposite and say it will take a while and if it comes earlier than expected people are never disappointed. I have the Neebo speakers which I absolutely love I feel at the price point nothing can compare at 3 times the price point on or two might compare. I was very frustrated with grills and excuses at six months in on wait for those when it started to approach a year wait Houston we have a problem. Expect to wait alot with this company. Is it worth it? Yes 1000% worth the wait.
Final analysis, does the system sound good to you!? So, it's pan Asian system, your pockets are happy right! I have a pan Asian system, happy as a clam!!
Most boring review on youtube period
Sorry to hear that this company isn't treating you right and is relying on their speakers to cover for their real lack of customer care.
What is wrong with this audio. All the super loud mic handling sounds. Clean it up dude.
YT decided to drop this vid in my stream, otherwise I wouldn't have seen your channel. Wasn't even searching for Tektons, though I gave them strong consideration several years ago, especially during all of the hype. This is excellent advice. These speakers are basically handmade to order, particularly with regard to finish. So they take awhile. People should know that going in. I didn't even know that you can't add grills after the fact, so very helpful to anyone considering this brand. I hope that you're enjoying them and playing with some different amps and preamps, but I'm a miser like you, my friend, so I know how it goes....
Beware customer service is terrible & keep in mind Tekton resale value isn't going to be good either you might want to go with a better name brand so you don't get killed on the resale value
you review amplifier But you didn't play any music.
What was the reason for this useless video?
Good info to know👍👍👍
Hi, this vs tube preamp like the xiang sheng 728a? 😁
I was not aware of this video until today. We're glad Omar is enjoying his Tekton Design loudspeakers. I can assure everyone this is not how we operate regarding customer service. As CEO my policy is every order receives a confirmation email. Our assistant at the time [Tammy W.] was dismissed shortly after your transaction (July 2021) for failing to confirm orders and failing to follow through on customer service-related needs (touch-up paint, etc...) - Eric Alexander
@blipco5 & @TektonDesign - Eric the CEO of Tekton has left a comment above saying changes were made to their customer service department around July 2021 which was quite some time before your comment 2 months ago where you were saying the issue with the missing speaker grills had still not been rectified a full year after your purchase. Can you please let us know where you stand now? Searching the web, there seems to be a bit of a theme around Tekton's poor customer service. Has certainly made me apply the breaks on giving Tekton my business. Thanks.
@@1SilentWitness1 Our grille builder was in a motorcycle accident. He's been back since January and is doing a fantastic job. We have definitely gone through some trying times in the past where we could not keep up with demand in the way of orders and updates, and could have done better about communicating with our customers during that time. We have taken the feedback to heart and have implemented changes that improve the customer experience. We have invested in new technology and processes to streamline our operations and reduce lead times. We have also made a concerted effort to improve communication with our customers throughout the entire order process. Despite a few setbacks, we are overjoyed to know that the vast majority of our customers are satisfied with their loudspeakers and the listening experience. Thank you for your patience and understanding during our growing pains. We are committed to raising the bar and ensuring that every one of our customers receives the quality of service that they deserve.
The RCA plugs ????
I would change out those op amps for some discrete ones, wow that would really improve the sound.
Wich kind?
@@giulianof8687 see my reply
Thanks for sharing !
Not too skilled this guy but the pre-clone is a true giant-killer
yup, after swapping out the dual Muse 8820 op-amps for some lme49720 it is a giant. Running opa627 single op-amps
Hi, can you precise which opamp to change from which in standard? Thanks
Nice review. I will be shot by audiophiles for saying this: try Pro Audio Balanced stuff...well priced no BS, just works. The guys who make/produce the music use it. Yes I have Pro Audio gear and it is best bang for my buck. So shoot me now!
The long wait and kinda meh customer service were definitely not something I was expecting but I am pretty happy with my Pendragons. I am interested in getting a pair with one of the arrays, but I'll probably have to wait a few years for the wife to agree!
I was seriously considering Tekton but decided to spend little more and went with Legacy and glad I did!
Probably even worse in the time of Covid! I am curious concerning Tektons. May eventually go with some Pendragons. Why? Not interested in horn-like arrays that provide super clean but potentially edgier top ends. I hear the Pendragons are warmer with excellent bass extension. THAT is my wheelhouse. We'll see. Their problem is They're a smallish company with TOO GREAT A BURDEN for one guy, Eric. If he had any sense he'd hire some TOP NOTCH customer service reps and stick to designing! Customer Service is a very important sector for any business!
bro your banging the fucking desk my tekton sub went crazy stop
Agreed. As much as I would have liked to listen to the entire thing, the audio was so bad I just couldn't.
@@mattsev9134 Let's hear it for electronic crossovers. At first I thought someone was jumping on the floor upstairs. Good info. Just back down on the subs.
Hey Omar , I am a new subscriber I just ordered a pair of Lores a few days ago with the $200 upgrade .
I made the mistake of asking if they offered any sort of real wood veneer. Never heard from them again. laugh🤣
In regards to the finish, has someone gotten their shiny gloss finishes instead of the soft gloss? Seeing that people have complained about the quality of the soft one, I’m a lot more curious about the shiny one to see if it’s a lot better.
You are 100% right sir. Yours was one of the many reviews I watched before I ordered a pair of Tekton speakers, sight unseen and unheard. I took a well researched chance. After I ordered over the phone, that was it. No further communication by email. My wait was twelve weeks though I was told six. Then one day I received the charge confirmation by email. (I did get an email two to three weeks prior telling me they were waiting for the paint to dry and then they would be shipped in a few days. It was at least two weeks.) I was told the grills, that I already paid for, would follow in three weeks. It’s been over two months. I can’t be happier with the speakers. They are better than what I was hoping for as I was replacing very old but very good speakers. I just wanted a change. So that worked out. But as far as the grills are concerned I’m really pissed about them. I’m forced now to email them to get them sent. It shouldn’t be this way. Bottom line… Tektons are well worth the money. His seven tweeter array flat out works. Just plan on waiting well beyond what you’re told and don’t expect any customer service. Most bad reviews you read about Tekton is about the lack of service and communication. They are correct and it’s up to you to decide if you want to put up with this crap or not.
I live in Utah.... have almost bought a pair a few times... that half ass effort isn't for me!!! Id rather work with others. Stoked you love the sound!
@@johnanderson8096 As happy as I am with the Tekton's sound, I am really pissed off about the grills. I STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED THEM! I don’t want to look at the drivers. I can’t recommend them because of his poor service which is very poor before the sale, nonexistent after the sale. If I could I’d send them back for a refund.
@@blipco5 I'm curious as to which model speaker you purchased. And any upgrades such as wiring or BE tweeter.
@@danbrodersen5838 I bought the Enzo XL. I added the seven tweeter array with upgraded crossovers and speaker wire binding posts. While I’m more than happy with the sound quality I’ve become disgusted with the poor customer service. It’s going on ONE YEAR and I still haven’t received my speaker grills that I already paid for! When I contact them, and it’s ME always having to call THEM, I get the same old runaround about "oh, we’ll contact the guy who makes the grills"… then nothing. I’ve emailed them and they don’t respond. Tekton really sucks with product support and sucks at giving you everything you paid for. Initially it took me a long time to receive them during Covid. I understand. He’s a small company. I understand. But please. Nearly one year for the grills? With no assurance when I’ll see them. Had I known this in advance I wouldn’t have even considered Tekton. At this point I’m sorry I bought them.
@@blipco5 Eric the CEO of Tekton recently left a comment saying changes were made to their customer service department around July 2021 which was quite some time before your comment above. I didn't know how to tag you in my reply to him but if you scroll down a few comments you'll see it. Thanks
Could You plz do smth to your mic. This audio file slams 15hz from my sub in the middle of the night.
Thanks for the info!
Had the nearly the same experience. Did he also give you the story of, "oh we recently lost 2 of my grill builders recently Blah, blah, one went to their family's business, blah blah, I'll send them out to you right away"... He did seem apologetic about it however, here I am 2-1/2 months later (AFTER the previous 7 months of ordering). Sorry this is business and you should always stand behind your word, if not then your word is no good, no matter what the excuse. Plus the paint process is less desirable. If you brush up against the speaker there's a white (underneath coating) scratch that appears. Honesty I do not know how I acquired so many scratches? I even took pictures after unboxing & setting up, and scratches were not shown in the pictures. I don't recall any harsh movements or bumping into anything afterwards, but they're still there from something. Had it not been for the $370+ dollars to send them back they would definitely be gone. Should of just invested a little more in the Klipsch Heresy IV, or Forte IV in the first place. Would have received them quicker WITH Grills and a better finish from a reputable dealer IMHO. Wish I had seen this video prior...
Good to know! Thanks for posting this. Been curious myself but sticking with the Heritage line or even the RF-7iii seems like a much safer bet. 👍
I’ve had 2 pairs of Tekton’s and a center channel. I just ordered my 3rd pair. All I can say is, best speakers I’ve owned in this hobby for 35 years. WORTH EVERY PENNY AND THE WAIT!!!
Yeah man the interactions I had with Eric were less than enthusiastic..kind of rude and forgetting that I am a customer ...he needs to step away from dealing with customers and shape up their overall support and be more clear with customers a out timeframe.
Again when I get the women(Name not in front of me) It's good. Others, not so much.
Hello sir, I found 2 types of plugs one with shorting and other just cap. Which one should I use for closing unused rca inputs. Thanks
Wow, a nick in the speaker and they won't respond?? That's a big deal.
I have had Great Customer Service from Tekton. If I need anything I just call them and tell them. Don’t use Email.
That doesn't work, I DID try to call, still unfinished business. [errrr]
Thanks for the info! How did you end up liking that Audio-gd preamp and which model was it? I have Audio-gd headphone gear, a very old DAC/amp and a new R1 DAC and Master 19 amp. I've heard the R11 too. I'm a huge fan of all their headphone stuff. Haven't tried any of it on speakers, but I think I will need to soon.
Outstanding, the purple speaker Im going to buy for my daughter. Thank you sir!
I have the Lore Reference..I 💕 love them. Angela is great with with me
Seems like a good review but it'd be nice if you didn't whisper the whole time.
