It seems more like a case of self-destruction to me.
And no one is preventing anyone else from buying Tekton speakers based on subjective preferences alone.

Eric Alexander has a reputation for having very thin skin he blatantly overreacts to simple criticism of his speakers. About five years ago he went after YouTube reviewer New Record Day. It was embarrassing for Eric he did not like Rons unfavorable review and proceeded to throw a hissy fit like a 6-year-old child would.
He worked for Eminence along with Clayton Shaw of spatial Audio and Sean Casey of Zu Audio and he has been jealous of their success for years. He has argued with paying customers that were not happy with their speakers which is well documented by the customers on other audio forums.
None of his speakers have had the success of his peers and it drives him crazy. He also races cars 1/4 mile and is a drummer don't know if he still plays in a band but maybe he should just concentrate on designing speakers.
Other YouTube reviewers called him a speaker designing genius which is just as crazy as calling Elon Musk a genius.
And calling his Solitude speakers dipole is hilarious the SB acoustics drivers he uses in the circular array are all closed back LMAO!!! And he has designed possibly the goofiest speakers ever made the Bonneville which are 69" tall 48" wide and 20" deep they are 32 cubic foot cabinets and at $20000 are a joke.
But I will say this about Eric he designed speakers for 30 years before finding a design to bring to market. So, he stuck with it and has found success, and even though he is known to be a blatant narcissist I still wish him success.
of your speaker designs?
Are you asking me for examples of my speaker designs?
Yes
I'm going to do better than post pictures and measurements of my past designs I'm going to do a speaker build start to finish and post it right here in the forum.
We'll talk about a speaker's thiel/small parameters what they mean how they relate to cabinet size and style.
Some of the build will be video that I will post on YouTube and link to this forum. Showing how to get frd /frequency response measurements zma /impedance response measurements. How to import those files into simulation software to design a crossover. It should be fun.
I have everything already for the build except woofers that are in the mail now on the way should be here around March 20th. Speaker design is easy just takes a little effort that's it. Hopefully I can inspire some other people to design and build their own speakers.
Sorry for the late response to your question I had a fall broke my nose got stitches in my head knocked out a bunch of teeth had a pretty bad concussions. Now I have to get a bunch of dental implants it's been a little rough.
Hopefully I'll start posting the build in a couple weeks. When you see a post titled audio asylum speaker build 2025 that will be me.
I am going to do a build and post it in this forum soon. I have all the components except woofers that are arriving this week. Going to go over driver Thiel/small parameters and what they mean. Like how a speakers Vas,Fs,Qts effect cabinet size and style ported/sealed. Going to go over measurements and how to measure for FRD files frequency response and ZMA files impedance response. And how to use these files in simulation software to design a crossover.
Speaker design is easy just takes a little effort that's it. Some of the build will be in video posted to you tube and linked to this forum so people can see how easy it is and hopefully it will inspire some people to build their own speaker.
When you see a post titled Audio Asylum speaker build 2025 that will be me hopefully it will be in the next couple weeks.
... since when does one have to do a task themselves before they can offer comments? Think about it -- if that's the case, no one could ever criticize a musician other than another musician, or not like a TV show or movie unless they were an actor themselves, or talk about their food preferences unless they were a chef, ad infinitum.
I agree 100% for example I play guitar have for almost 40 years and I have a couple friends that do not play an instrument of any kind, and they critique my guitar playing better than other guitarist.
You do not have to be a musician to recognize musical talent just like you do not have to be a chef to tell certain foods taste amazing. You don't have to be a screenwriter to know that some movies suck and other movies will still be popular 50 or 60 years from now?
I am not a chef, but I know that fast food Hamberger's are gross!!! and that homemade Hamberger's of the average Americans backyard grill are amazing.
You do not have to be an expert to have a valid opinion.
I made a simple request. I didn't mean it as an insult.
He does have "P" beside his handle.
Or just having stayed at a whole bunch of Holiday Inn Expresses! I wouldn't wish that on anyone though.
Didn't criticism used to be considered almost an art form, a la Mark Twain? How to tell someone they sucked, while leaving them dumbfounded and shaking their heads saying what just happened. And, once they figured it out they were too embarrassed to carry on the discussion and slinked away. Now it's sue for definition of character. Yes, I know, but too often it is definition, not defamation.
