Please do not take what I'm about to write as bashing Tekton.
I look at the different models of Tekton speaker. Some of them are made with a big cabinet, but there's a lot of wasted space. They could add tweeters or an additional woofer. It may be just me, but that's my opinion. I am sure they produce good quality sound. It's just an odd looking speaker with a whole lot of real estate on some of the cabinets.
The size is due to having the proper cabinet volume to get the fullest sound and the best possible bass response from the good size drivers since most models use 8"-10" woofers. Eric designs his speakers well from the start instead of just putting something together and trying to optimize the sound afterward. Most designs also don't have a crossover and the woofer is run full range with just a capacitor on the tweeter. I rather have one big full range driver or a simple 2-way design like the Tektons than a messy 3 or 4-way design with a bunch of smaller drivers but we all have our preferences.
... new Lore Reference model. Either way, Tekton has a big fan right here.
I've had my eyes on Tekton for a while. One day, I may decide that one pair of Altecs is enough and get a pair of Pendragons. :yes:
