Speakers for newbie

part of the fun is to go out and listen to as many pr of speakers as you can. Talk is cheap, people that recommend Tekton, I doubt that they've even seen a pr of Tekton in person, nevermind even listen to a pair. I've never heard of Tekton until few weeks ago in another forum due to issues with the owner, and delay with orders, so you might as well avoid them.

my point is that telling a newbie to buy a pr of internet direct speakers is not a good advise. Do you know Tekton's return policy? 15% restocking fee and you have to pay return shipping, and "Returned speakers must be in new condition – no signs of damage or abuse, including scratches, fingerprints, dust, etc. " this is a line directly from their website. good luck getting your money back if they find a speck of dust or "etc" on them.

if you could tell us what you didn't like about the Paradigm Signature Series (which model #?) and what sound you are trying to get out of a pr of speakers, we might be able to steer you some brands and models that you might like. My guess is that if you didn't like the Paradigm, you probably won't like the PSB, as both brands have a similar house sound.
