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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Eric at Tekton could try a more mature approach to all his relationships, building bridges is more important than building walls that are self-serving without benefit to others....just saying...sending love to everyone...
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.
Who cares about Tekton, never heard of it or any people around or versus him. And just one other thing, he who does incredible is not appreciated by the mass, always. The few Ingenious people are always hunted by “people” over negligebles.
Tekton owner is a Tool that will file a lawsuit against anyone that doesn't bow down and give 100% praise. If you have anything to say regarding constructive criticism or truth with data, you're on the lawsuit list. Data points have a place, but they aren't the be all end all. There's beauty in flaws. BUT.... I will never buy a product from Toolton or say anything good about Toolton after reading the emails sent to Erin. It's over the top threatening, mean spirited and says all I need to know about the character of Toolton.
No, but thank you for asking. I actually get shirts as gifts from people and one time I even was given a shirt that mentioned a particular type of weed and I didn’t even know that that’s what it was and some people in a store mentioned it and laughed because I didn’t know what it was.
It's called Audio Science Review for a reason, if you want a site with people waxing lyrical about warmth, depth, sparkle or any other nonsensical stuff it's not for you. Try Paul from PS Audios videos for that BS.
@@drde4010 wow have you read any research about sound reproduction at all? there is CLEAR correlation between measurements and sound quality. way back in 70s speakers had design goals, now there is junk designs like tekton that make no sense because people refuse to read any science and accept the truth.
@@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.
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. I will always still buy the Tektons because the products are very good value and extremely original. They sound good. I'd also buy a Cadillac and even a Corvette even though I can't stand the women running GM.
I purchase a product based on a lot of parameters. The personality of the one building it is not one of them. The only value of TH-cam reviews is entertainment.
I used to have a lot of interest in Tekton. I think they make real great bang for the buck products. After all this silliness, not anymore.

I don’t blame people boycotting Tekton.
not silly, its ridiculous. There was nothing Erin said that was defamatory

Eric Alexander's hostile overreaction is going to cost him much more than he thinks, he's in Troublador!
It’s called “sales prevention.”
Reverse marketing. Bad idea.
i had good impressions of Tekton prior to this....but no more. I would not even buy them used.
I’d have to agree.

@@carlosoliveira-rc2xt car companies don’t threaten litigation against their customers
But they do scan you so the same The same thing without lawyers they just put it in you
@@carlosoliveira-rc2xtI have never been threatened with legal action by a car company when I pointed out a flaw in their vehicle.

A bad overreaction by Eric. Sorry to see it. No doubt will only harm his company far worse than the review.
GoldenSound is being threatened with a lawsuit due to a review of the dCS Bartok.

@@marstedt yeah I saw that it’s incredible
@@drde4010 Thanks for checking in. Hopefully this one ends well.

People don't buy things for the silliest reasons. A little blip on a graph is all it takes.

I don't listen to music for science. I listen to music for warmth and pleasure. If you want cold science then go spend your sessions reading charts.

That’s fine, but I generally don’t support companies with behavior like that.
Eric over-reacted to what he felt was unfounded criticism.
Let it go folks. The counter response has become almost as bad. SMH
I believe the bad press will cause the unexpected speaker nerds to actually look closely at Tekton. Bad press is better then no press.....
