Tekton M-Lore Speaker Measurement Update

[CedarX]

I vote we, as an audio community, boycott ANY and ALL Tekton equipment. Obviously, this "Karen" at Tekton thiks too highly of his items and cannot take any criticism on their products whether good or bad. This is narsasistic (sic) tendencies. Simply not reviewing them is the easiest way to solve this.

If anyone asks about them, send them to all these issues.

Let Tekton implode over their own ignorances.

I would disagree here: ASR’s reviews are about informing, and discussing audio products, based on facts. I don’t think it’s about dictating what members should or shouldn’t purchase… or did I miss something?
I don’t wish Tekton to implode or get bankrupt… I wish they learn from Amir’s review, go back to the design board, and improve the M-Lore into a great speaker.

Ummm...have you somehow missed the last month's happenings with the owner of Tekton?

Considering the nasty letter and threats sent to Amir and Erin, I'd have expected that much or more a response to GR.

Most likely he did not know about it especially since that video came out a couple of years go. People searching for his speaker would not likely land on GR video

When I load up that video in YouTube it says it's from July, so only 3 months before your M-Lore review here. But I think you're right about the searching/landing issue: it's a rapid-fire assessment of 18 different speakers and there's nothing in the video description, or "key moments" video thumbnails that tells you anything about which speakers or manufacturers are included. If you look at the cover image I believe that's a Lore on the lefthand side - but you already have to know what you're looking for to realize that.

So it's very likely Eric Alexander had - and still has - no idea that Danny slammed his speaker.

Imagine all the lost sales Danny has caused.

At this point, I think everyone is just pushing their luck.

We have had three reviewers narrowly escape death caused by hypersonic airjet streams while listening to Norah Jones. Thankfully nobody reviewed the speakers with Motörhead.

@Eric Alexander Shame on you for your distasteful, childish behavior. Your design was faithfully exhibited in both reviews, and frankly it’s an inferior design (according to current studies/science). Build a new and proper speaker and have @amirm test it to vindicate your audio knowledge or go in peace.

Very unlikely he was not alerted by someone. Regardless, everyone who measures the speaker seems to find it lacking. He should have done what others do and either ignore it, fix it, or claim it's intentional.
