So, I've been joyfully researching and mulling the possibilities (of Tekton and other speakers - mostly Vandersteen) for a few weeks - you know how it goes. I have an important question with respect to how this plays out... room size... I have only a small room in which to place my speakers: 12' by 14.5'. I have a couch at one end, almost against the window, and then the stereo sits at the other. My RP280's with two 8" woofers blend well, but they have only operated as a fill-in to this point. The tweeters are just too glaring, although I may be able to dampen. Still, I'm thinking about Tekton, thinking about whether the DI's could operate well in my room... I'm not hearing enough about the Electron's. In fact, I'm a little concerned that they are mostly a compromise speaker, developed to offset the WAF. The latter is the reasoning provided by Tekton's front-end person, when I inquired. Another person cautioned me strongly against going Tekton because of his experience with the Electron. Clearly. he hasn't heard the DI, which so many praise. Nevertheless, his claim was that the Electron did not come across as effectively integrated, that each "way" seemed a bit too independent, that the speaker lacked musicality for the aforementioned effect. Back to the RP280's for a minute: they really have a decent bottom end, so I don't want to lose that and I don't want to sub-it-up, which is absolutely not needed in my 12' by 14.5' space, given my musical preferences, which are strongly acoustically oriented. I love the plucking, hammering, thumping, trilling, vocalics, double-bassiness that the Klipsch have been able to reveal, but I need a much softened, or removed glare. And then enters this DI concept, reading as such a marvelous thing. A serious full-range event is my goal and intention.
Thank you, in advance.
