Tekton Electon/DI compares to what?

I know there is a lot of love and hate for Tekton on this and various other audio forums. I'm not here to discuss the validity of anything but would love impressions from listeners. Given that these are internet-direct, I can't hear before buying so I need the online community's help. Being in Canada, an in-home trial is a very expensive en devour! 

I'm looking at specifically the Electron as it's slightly smaller for my condo living room size. There is talk of a Mini-Ulff but with no info online other than its mentioning, I'll leave it out for now.

Now I understand the Electron/DI sound very similar, almost the same. So with that in mind, for those that have actually heard either of these speakers, what do they sound similar to so I can try to demo a pair to get a jist of what to expect? What speakers have you directly compared against them? 

Other speakers I have on my list are: Harbeth 30.1, Audio Note E LX Hemp, Totem Sky Floorstander, ATC 19, Salk Silk series, Klipsch Forte III, JBL 4312SE.

Having no dog in this fight other than "HAVING" heard the DI at a reviewers personal home and left like I was promised a Moet & Chandon   and left with bottle of Ripple

 I will say this Tekton owners are like Wilson owners.. Dedicated and will defend their speakers like their young.. Anytime you get a product for substantially lower cost, increases the desire to reaffirm its worth

 By the By, there were a few others with me who have anything from ESL to wonderful 2 ways to big Wilson's.. All of us were spitting out the Ripple on the drive out..

 Then again there are people who swear JBL or Cerwin Vega are great too

So besides drinking Ripple. What was it that you didn’t like about it? How is this suppose to help people that are thinking about buying these? What kind of equipment was paired with it? Thanks

It took me at least a week or more to fully appreciate DI’s so I certainly wouldn’t be passing judgement from a listen at some persons house. Of course the same could be said of many speakers.

Reminds me of the delusional 20% Trumpsters who think we have the best person in office."I could kill someone on time square and they would still vote for me"
