+1 @bullitt5094 @evolvist @james_w514 This is very similar to what other direct to end user speaker manufacturers are doing. So Tekton isn't the only one.
With my recent Pass amp purchases, I have to pick up shipping and insurance both ways and it's only a 14 day trial. For the 30.8 that was around $200 for a very short trial...realistically only about 5 days at full on performance, post run-in guidelines.
Tekton's offer is far superior. 60 days is generous. 30 days is the norm.
And there are no restocking fees, which some are starting to add...and which I understand and agree with since there is a very real added cost at the manufacturer's end.
For those into numbers....even if one factors in a very generous 10% return rate as a general speaker return rate, the up front real cost of the risk is around $30 for taking that chance. I'm being very simplistic here. (Factor in some other variables, and it drops even further).
It really is a no-brainer of a deal. I'd take it for just the learning opportunity.
