Actual Lead Time on Tekton Speakers

Moabs are totally worth the wait. You will know within minutes of firing them up. Then over the next days/weeks/months they will only grow on you more and more. If ever you are thinking they are bright, or forward, or that you know what kind of sound stage they throw, put on some different music or change a component and then you will learn it never was the speakers after all. The friend who was over most recently said the midrange was perfect, the best he ever heard. Everything can of course always be made better, and I am working on that. But for $5k? Holy cow! You will see. Er, hear.  

Meantime, enjoy a little Tekton humor. What does Tekton have in common with Patek-Phillipe? You never really own one. You just order it for the next generation. 

Even big companies like McIntosh and Revel have long lead times right now. 

MC: That’s funny as hell!

MC...The joke actually goes like this...What does  Tekton and Patek have in common?...You buy a Patek and you own a fine time piece,you buy Tekton the jokes on you ,

When I first asked for the shipping date of my moabs they told me mid-May. I have not received them yet.

I write every week and every week I get replies like: we’re shipping them next week, we’re waiting on some components, the woofers are downstairs, we expect them to ship soon.... I don’t want to say that this says anything about the quality of the speakers I’ll receive (I’m not a big believer in the inductive approach)... I know a lot of people who do an outstanding job but are a disaster at communicating with customers. But at some point and age I would put a "character" like this prominently displayed on the company homepage. Something like "We make the best speakers but deliver when we want to. Don’t bother us via email or phone, you won’t get anything out of it." Simply out of respect for others.
