Tekton Design 1812 – the best sounding V12 engine on earth!

I’m please to announce production of the newly redesigned and updated Tekton Design 1812. The 1812 signifies the implementation of a single 18″ subwoofer capsule combined with arrays of 12’s for mid-range and high frequency production. We’ve also now added a centrally located super tweeter.

Only moments before posting this release I quickly trolled through www.higherfi.com to see if there was anything that reached out and grabbed me. Honestly, not much. I’m confident the the 1812 is going to be an incredibly successful ‘super speaker’. And with a price set to $10K per pair when compared to the abundance of ‘super speakers’ priced between $100K to over $1M we actually plan to produce and sell our ‘super speaker’ in large numbers.

The 1812 is packed with forward thinking innovation and technology… from it’s innovative time/phase alignment, precisely calculated and engineered impulse response, amazing horizontal and vertical power response to the recently allowed patented technology that rewrites the book on how a loudspeaker should be designed and implemented; a new patent that proves our competitors loudspeakers (everything produced today) is obsolete. In layman terms a new patented technology has Tekton Design producing loudspeakers that allow for the subtle nuances, upper order harmonics, and subtle details contained within the source to be reproduced and discerned. Multiple professional reviews are scheduled and in the queue now. Whether your listening taste is 2 channel hi-fi or full home theater the new Tekton 1812 is ideally suited for your needs. The new Tekton 1812 is a truly special loudspeaker!

Note: the Tekton Design 1812 contains patented technology with multiple patents pending including design patents pending.

Sincerely,

Wow! Those towers have the most drivers I've ever seen in a single tower speaker (26?)! More than the Wilson Alexandria XLF, and it's a "lightweight" at 300+ odd lbs vs the Wilson's 600+ lbs.

Very efficient, though. What amps would you feed that thing with, with a 4 ohm impedance and a 2,500 watt power rating? The lit doesn't mention built in amps for that massive 18" sub driver.

Would I need a sub-station nearby, a couple 1,200 watt mono block amps for each speaker tower, a crane to get them in, floor bracing....????

I agree I wouldn't mind hearing them....how the heck would I ever feed them or, or convince my wife to spend more money when she already loves the system we have????

Makes me think of ludicrous speed from Space Balls for some reason... I find it even more funny that they think they're going to sell a lot of them.

Check out their sensitivity: 104db -- my Torri could drive these puppies.

Rick: I'm with you, I'd love to hear these monsters -- how about a pair for your summer home?

Hey, Anthem

Well, I could choose any color I wanted. How would they be for soft background muic? Is 140 db output sufficient?

Rick

I will not weigh in on speakers that would not fit in my old high school gym.
This is more my idee of humor.

I decided on a COMBO BBQ AND Cold drinks receptacle.
