Tekton Electron SE

This was my first post in any forum and the last. I don't get why anyone just wanting to have a friendly exchange of information would come in here to become a target for a bunch of hateful idiots. I truly don't get it. But before I leave for those that have nothing better than to post dumb unsolicited statements my advise is to go get help....although a doctor can't cure dumb. You are totally pathetic.Bye.

Regarding internet marketing these days,  it is very interesting and makes one wonder. 
I bought my wife a massage gun on Amazon.  Lots of good reviews.  It is a very nice product and works as advertised so far.  Thing is the seller includes a card asking for an “honest” review on Amazon for a $40 Amazon gift card.  That’s for a product that only cost about $100 to start with.  Nice incentive in exchange for an honest review.  Is that kosher?  Or just good marketing?   It’s a hard call.  No doubt that product gets a lot more good reviews published as a result.  
Just saying.  I understand all the skepticism.  People should really not let it bother them.  Just state the facts.  You have no control over what others think about it.  It is an open forum so be assured the responses can vary widely. 

Happy Moab owner here who wishes he went for the automotive finish, but settled for a regular custom color which came out beautifully.  I love these things, and before I properly placed them in the room the potential of these speakers were clear.  MC and others have already gushed about the speakers, so I'm not going into that.  They deliver and are certainly worth the money.  Take the time to dial in the placement of the speakers and your listening position and you will be rewarded. Even with the cost of automotive paint you're still getting a bargain.

I find it funny that certain individuals carry on about Tekton owners being shills and such, but I noticed an interesting trend during  my initial searches for reviews and comments on these speakers.  That being, the constant sprinkling of Salk on the thread.  But I don't see the hate towards Salk owners and uhm "promoters". 

I think there's some disbelief that a "box" speaker can sound as good as people say.  Having lived with planar speakers for over a decade, I can say that the Moabs have that sound and then some.  I know what a resonant cabinet sounds like, that's not heard with with the Moab.

I care about my decor, but I also care about the sound and if that means a 67" pair of 135lb towers almost 1/3 into the room then that's what I need to setup.  I can totally understand the desire for a smaller speaker.  You just can't ignore the Moabs in the room.  However, if there is anything that I don't believe is that anyone is hearing really balanced sound/getting the most out of their speakers with them close to the wall in a small room with bare walls, and very little furniture, nearfield listening not withstanding.  

Anyway, enjoy the music, Tekton, Salk, Zu, Klipsch 500M (shudders), whatever.  

Oh, and if you're running a DAC or whatever with swappable OP amps, look into some SparkOS replacements if the device's power supply is up to the task.  Get that Class B junk out of the signal chain and get the most out of your device.

Happy Holidays!

People wonder why the hatred for tekton speakers. I have moabs. In my opinion people who say they have heard them and don't like them have either not really heard them or let their bias get in the way. Some of them i think are angry that they wasted 20 or 30k on speakers that don't sound any better than 4k tekton's. Just my opinion.

Oh, I'm sure there's ones spent ten times 20 or 30k who are even more butt hurt. Making it so normal working stiff guys can afford better sound than your average well-heeled hedge fund manager , its just not fair. Where's the white glove setup? Where's the Faberge Egg? Oh, the humanity!
