Tekton says It's NOT Suing Anybody... Breaks the seal on reviewers that measure speakers

[Todd Anderson]

A pre-read of a review is pretty much an understood standard. It's not for a manufacturer to tell you that your conclusions are wrong, but more or less for them to confirm that you've represented the technical specifications and both product design/details correctly. It's nothing nefarious.

 

[Spidacat]

I get that in a general sense. To me it sounded like he wanted to go over the measurements specifically and how they were taken more so than the review in general. In the one we're talking about he seemed to not like how the impedance curve was generated. Basically if you do a measurement different (not necessarily worse or wrong) he wants to argue the semantics. Especially odd for someone who doesn't provide his own beforehand. Maybe most of this is standard, but he's the only one I've seen get into a tiff about it. I don't think it's the first time either. I wish I could demo a pair myself. I know when they first started getting "popular" the handful of user responses were so over the top positive (no complaints from Eric on them not being professionals or how they came to the conclusions ) that they looked fake. That's why people who haven't seen them in person were interested in thorough reviews. Then when some reviewers didn't gush about them, the owner gets overly defensive. I know some owners of small companies can come off a little gruff online, but it's one thing to defend your products in a professional manner and another to start litigation over pretty trivial manners.

The saga continues.

Well done, Erin.

 

[Todd Anderson]

That’s a whole lotta drama - and you know the internet loves to feast on it.

I wish these guys would leave their personal emails and interactions out of the public eye.

 

[Sonnie]

Yeah... If I've been called out publicly, I will defend myself publicly, but I would not be screen-sharing emails. Erin has an excellent reputation, and there is no need to share it.

Thankfully, I've never been in a situation like this. I'm not sure how I would react if I were in their shoes. It just sucks that it got to this point in the first place.

 

[Travis Ballstadt]

To be fair, Erin was very discreet about the situation until Eric posted his videos at which point Erin rightfully and understandably posted receipts that Eric was being disingenuous in his videos.

I just hope if it happens again it’s between a Bartholomew and Octavius instead of Eric and Erin.

At least it wasn’t Erin vs Aaron.

What happens if one were to read that list and realize that all five inherently apply?

That 250Hz resonance went from not meaning anything to being the focus of everything.

 

[Sonnie]

Whew... ... glad I have some empathy; otherwise, I might be on that list. heehee.

 

[ddude003]

250Hz is not a great spot for issues... Can you say mud...

And for those wondering about where they stand with those 5 points above... Please refer to the DSM-5 or your local psychiatrist...

I am not a psychiatrist nor do I play one on TV or the internet... I've just witnessed a lot of goofy stuff at the helm of HiTech and Entertainment industries over the past _cough_ 40 something years...

You aren't getting off that easy... we are going to have to change your moniker to drdude003

Nor have I… and I’m not interested in stirring up confrontation like this. I’d definitely advise both to take it offline.

Obviously tempers have flared. Hopefully Erin will let the goodwill he’s cached ease his stress a bit.

When Erin posted the last correspondence he said that was the end of any public disclosure and he would not be commenting on the correspondence or answering any future questions about the matter.

Obviously tempers have flared.

Yes, a couple of Eric’s, I think.
