      I have heard about Eric over at Tekton more than a few times, he is not very business savvy when it comes to relationships. Bit of a hot head, and now he has proven the rumors true.

      Seriously? Which car do you own? Every manufacturer over the years has lied and cheated their customers. Have you even listened to Tekton's side? You should buy a speaker because of build quality, value, sound quality, and manufacturer support. You're reason for not buying is ridiculous.

    Don’t know the man, Eric, but his 1st video came out like a bull in a china shop with threats of court. Erwin’s response was one of wonder and bullying him to submit to what Eric wants. This audio hobby/ business is full of extremely nice people that publish and help where ever they can when asked for the betterment of the audio industry. No room or need for Tekton to be on anyone’s list with that type of personality. Plenty of great speakers out there, Eric won’t be missed. I do feel bad for current owners and people he employs though, maybe all will move on to a better place?

    My one and only experience with Eric at tekton was negative. I called to ask some questions about a speaker and he seemed very, very annoyed that I called and I could hear in his voice that he did not want to help me out with my questions. Put a real bad taste in my mouth.

      Some of these kind of people belong in a cubical. I too have a friend who has Tekton's and although he likes them, he too said Eric was extremely unpleasant to talk with over the phone. Eric says he's gotten a lot of nasty emails. Not surprising with all this as well.

    It is so bizarre how the owner is driving his company into the ground over this. An open discussion between men is far better than threats of litigation. The manufacturer should be grateful for Erin’s input and use that for product improvement. No one person has all of the answers and knowledge.

    You can tell Eric at Tekton talks out his arse and lives in a bubble, the feet debacle, yet there on their website is a picture of Guttenbergs review and no feet on it.
    Any company that threatens or talks like Eric does in his response video, should 100% be avoided, Erin did a nice honest review and many looked at the speaker in a positive manner, then we have Eric acting like a mental case over a genuine technical blip.
    Lets get it straight, Tekton speakers are just well finished DIY nonsense that have a fan base bred off positive reviews because negatives are shut down. Nothing audiophile about a painted MDF box with multiple drivers and holes through a cabinet for feet.

      @@drde4010 I think this response is off base. In my mind a product review should be a critical analysis of a product and I'm really only interested in the faults / problems to keep it short. This is very different from a music review or the act of listening to music for entertainment.

    Tekton will survive and most likely thrive.
    Bad press is better then no press.
    You all pushed Erics speakers right under the uninformed audio nerd's noses.
    While its claim to fame in the long run may just be all this controversial press making Tekton more interesting in the publics eye. An average Joe may stumble across this press cycle and wonder what the heck happened and go look at Tekton very closely that may not have known who Tekton was at all. more out of curiosity and think to themselves "wow thats some incredible looking gear".
    You might have helped sell the goods with bad press.

      Yea, sometimes it's amazing how negative press rather than no press can sometimes help business in some cases. I just find Eric to be a bit of a hothead. I just don't care for people like that personally. We all have faults, but threatening litigation against people without trying to reason constructively is not a trait I would endorse. The world is filled with too many individuals with those tactics and it's the reason we have to cope with so many ridiculous laws and regulations.
