Tekton room at the Los Angles Audio Show.

Shows are a great place to start and widdle down a list of potential speakers. I purchased my AZ Crescendo speakers based on how great they sounded at two different Expona shows. Why even bother going to shows if they are of no help? Shows are important to me and many others. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to make sure the gear sounds good. Never use brand new speakers with no burn in time etc...A builder should not bother to show a given product if they sense it will be paired incorrectly or set up in a rushed fashion.

Honestly the DI speaker is getting attention right now and seems to be a tremendously exciting new product. Now is no time for mediocre showing or debuting.  Now is the time to exceed expectations and take the show/industry by storm. Huge missed opportunity from the point of view of this marketer.  If his line of speakers is as untouchable as many claim in terms of value and innovation, and I happen to think they may well be, then please market them in a fashion they deserve. Perhaps Tekton needs some help as they are on the crossroads of experiencing something very, very  special and successful or ...... not.

We agree on all points.  Hope Tektron has indeed made a heroic effort at this show. That is all one can expect. 

I read about this speaker and other owners at numerous other sites plus contacted several respected and experienced Aphiles, like myself, directly. My eyes are not shut. Owners are really selling off highly reviewed speakers costing over $15,000 for these. Owners that are audio educated and well experienced, The builder is an innovative individual with some fresh ideas that will indeed benefit us all in this hobby/passion.
