  Keep it up Erin. I&apos;ve always thought about getting a pair of Tektons. Your review made me want a set even more. Now, after hearing about what they are doing, I&apos;ll never even give them a listen. Dead &nbsp;to me. Shows the true colors of that company. We need to make sure this is never forgotten.

  I completely agree that any product with a sub-out should have high-pass/low-pass built-in with an identified slope at this point. The higher the cost, the more flexibility you should get w/ crossover frequency, slope, phase etc. This would help solve the biggest problem with subwoofer integration; running the mains full-range and cancellation throughout the crossover region.

  I think this black box approach is going to next level your channel big time. Good job. Looking forward to future comparison videos. Your data driven approach gives you more street cred from an &quot;opinion&quot; point of view imo.

  I just read about the Tekton saga, I am so sorry. He is a bully. You are role model in the community, Erin!

  I have a hypothesis that those who enjoy a tube amp tend to listen at a lower level and the amp provides a built in &quot;loudness&quot; curve. Tube amps, for the cost, have less power so the listening level is further limited. Tubes just look rad! I would like to add one to my system at some point.

  I&apos;ve always loved the look of tube amps. &nbsp;Like you said, they just look cool!
