Is Elac, Monitor Audio, Genelec, and James infringing on Tekton Design intellectual property?

Dude, get your Lawyer go after them! These clowns are desperate for sales if they’re copying your ideas! And when they come kissing your ass charge them $1 million as a consult fee to start! 😂🎉

Protect your patents..

If someone buys Eric's company I'm not confident they will continue with the quality and innovation that Tekton currently provides. Better get your orders in now!

I never realized just how big some of your models are.

people have been combining multiples of different drivers for almost 100 years. you may have an innovative way of describing it but all art is derivative

DON'T SELL YOUR BRAND!! Your brand should continue on, however the litigation goes or not, and your following will always be there.

Oh, this is easy to resolve. Just threaten them with litigation. You know, have your lawyer and their lawyers have a “chat”. That way you don’t have to “sue” anyone. 😂

Please never stop what you're doing. Brilliant speakers...

"circumvent your technology"? I don't think that is what you meant to say. Those are good looking speakers that seem ideal for massive amps and rock music.

You should offer a diy option on the type of speakers and tweeters you use especially the crossover and just let everyone build their own and the ones infringing on you wont be able to compete they are already alot of diy cloning what you doing so especially how your info on your website and the reviews are giving alot of info to be able to diy and clone your speakers so becareful

Why did you raise your prices? I was gonna try you but you forced me a different direction.

Nooooooo, don’t sell!!! I like calling and you answering the phone, amazing. Love my Mini Lores!!!

they won't be able to touch the experience with implementing the design.

Call it a kind of genius, call it dumb luck, call it "accident," but I want you (Eric) to know that a set of your Moab model has been sitting in my living room for five years and they are truly special. I was introduced to the Klipsch Horn in 1976, a set my dad owned until just a few years ago, and the Moab - properly set up in a well treated room - is a much more finely tuned creature. The Horn is just great for theater style presentation, but it cannot realize the utterly natural, the nuance, the realism, the sheer potential for beauty of the Moab. We live in a world where people crave power and the Klipsch Horn may be the better choice if people need a head-banging experience. But for those who crave refinement and beauty and a full range of dynamic prowess, the Moab leaps to the fore.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Here is Monitor Audio Hyphn at 70k…Features at a glance:
Three-way design | Unique M-Array configuration | Four force-cancelled 8” RDT III Bass Drivers | Six 2" RDT III Midrange Drivers | MPD III transducer | Engineered crossovers

I'm a proud owner of Moabs... Absolute monsters! I love them!! Keep up the good work.

Eric I have been saving and I am almost ready for a big purchase...now is not the time to sell darn it.

I love my Double Impacts so much Eric, thanks for your work!

Even after stealing (not circumventing, stealing) your patented technology, saving millions in product design development, they STILL will not be a fraction as good for the money for the simple fact they all sell through a dealer network with 60% profit margins. In other words they have to more than double the price. Plus the same profit hungry dealer network knows most of their customers buy based on wife appeal. So they are forced to spend more on the pretty box than the drivers that make the speaker make music. So double the price again. This is why no matter what they do all they will come up with is the same overpriced high end furniture as now only with more drivers. What they’re doing in other words is flattering and yet at the same time pathetic, in that it shows they’re capable of copying but not understanding. They just don’t get it. Never have. Never will. (Read the trolls comments for more from one who understands nothing!)

What's your plans if you sell the company? Maybe you can work at a big name and design there.

Eric, you are doing a great job! Love your passion. Dont sell you company.

Dont worry, they won't be copying the bass reflex feet holes that can be only found in Tekton.😂

Please don't sue me 🙏

Stand firm, Eric. Love my Mini Lores and hoping to purchase a Pendragon pair at some point. I’ve called Tekton three times total, and two of the times I spoke to Eric!

Keep up the good honest work Eric

Caught my eye when I saw their ad. Thanks.

👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎💩💩💩

I had about $15k a couple years back to spend on speakers and considering the good reviews co side red tektons… then did my research… proudly took my money to non-litigious company. Keep being a dick Eric. Good business model. Get a good therapist and address you’re narcissism.

just so you know not to be a dick or anything but that color orange is my property i invented it. also i claim the number 8 the shape of the square and the frequency known as the key of G major please dont use things that dont belong to you.

It's laughable that the likes of Elac and Genelec are infringing on Tekton.

Dear Eric : so you are ok with what these manufacturers are doing?

Yet , you react with hostility to reviewers that don’t favorably review your creations???

Patents?

I owned two of your speakers BTw.

...i have version one double impact speakers...they are phenomenal especially with that price...

In my opinion this fool is everything wrong in audio
His reputation is allegedly trash
That Bezos must have gotten the inspiration for the Amazon symbol and his low orbit rocket from this A-Hole which would be apt

Didn't McIntosh and even earlier, Legacy Audio do something similar to what Eric is doing? Legacy did it with the Whisper and then the Helix...or am I wrong (as the Whisper is described as an "acoustic gun").

I’m not sure if Eric was always a whiny little bitch or if his lawyers are just taking him for a ride and just coming up with new reasons to stack on the billable hours 😂


The way you speak and the way you carry yourself comes off as really insecure.


If you don’t like my comment then sue me

Eric, I will give you a call soon, I need new home theater speakers. I have always wanted to order from you. In the mean time, as others have said, don’t give up the fight and don’t sell your company. Also, I’d love to send you a 4K camera to record your videos on if that would be okay ❤😂😅.

Straight up copied your array Eric.

Lol. Again ugly. Lets see this get removed. They look like crap! Maybe sound good. But yuck on the looks!

I was taught dont patent anything unless you have the resources to go to court, which could easily run you 500k-1m. Second it is my understanding that if you are aware of potential infringers of your patent, you must pursue litigation or you can lose your rights. Im guessing these companies wont be easily scared so threatening them is probably pointless so your stuck between a rock and a hard place which im sure you are aware. Its a high stake game of chicken, good luck

this seems an unlikely occurrence given the money and engineering that those large established companies have available. while the array is similar i have not heard how the patented technology has been 'stolen' or infringed. no shortage of audio product designers out there claiming to have invented the egg, so to speak. ntl i would like to know specifically what has been copied.

It's not the big sound Tekton goal, but powered desktop monitors with array of baby tweets might be cool!

The industry or, machine is always reshuffling the deck. I’ve watched the tide of tech create and move through the same old designs by a generational wave.
Remember that! We have come to see all kinds of trends in hifi speakers design be re released in one form or another. Let’s remember the big low standers from the 70’s and 80’s. So many manufacturers are rebirthing this to a new generation who don’t know. In short Eric? What you have always designed has always been in and of itself!
The copying of your mid array is yet another attempt to freshen the market. I look at open baffle speakers in my thinking here. You make some because they are out in the market. Good and I’m glad if it work for those who feel the need to have them.
Is it trendy? Oh yah.
My point is that you have built great speakers for years that crush the competition.
This mid array was born from you and it is flat out superior and superb.
I just wanted to convey this to you.
