    Default tekton - the next big thing?

    keep an eye on these guys, some serious buzz starting. appears to be a big cut above the other mini-priced speakers out there. and the best part - high efficiency.

    I looked into those back in the fall when I was looking for new speakers. Only issue is no center channels offered and each model seems like it doesn't fit with the others.

    If they would have had matching product lines I would have tried them out. Matching bookshelfs, towers, centers, surrounds.

    Look similar to zu design. I think these speaker have different philosophy then speakers like salk, ascend where they usually try to get flat frequecy while these may play play as full as the driver can be. just a thought.

    They've been around for awhile...I think I first heard about them several years ago on OCN, which is a computer forum

    I don't know about that "mini-priced" stuff*, but they look like a great thing for the flea powered set.

    They do the same as most all the others do, hype up their product. Buzz words, hype, small bolded clips from reviews.

    Seems to be a good speaker in its price range.

    they've been through a bunch of changes through the years, they used to be single driver wideband only pretty much. they aren't a HT speaker company remember. however, i just emailed them about this and they said a new monitor and matching center will be up on the website soon.
