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.

This is appalling. So immature. And yes a man being called a woman is a Massive insult in 2017 as it was in the day's of Eshoa.

"I had emailed Tekton about a week ago about some product information and still have not heard back. Customer service is pretty important to me especially if I can't buy locally..."

 I found Tekton to be very responsive via phone calls.  I had made a couple of calls, having to leave voicemails, and the calls were always returned either by Eric or his assistant. They were courteous and answered all my questions, never tried to upsell me.  So today I ordered a pair of Electrons. They were upfront and telling me it would be a couple weeks before I receive them, so no surprises there. I'm really pumped to hear these!

I can't speak to the Electrons because I have not heard them, but I have heard the DI speakers and ended up ordering a set of mini Ulfs from that.
Speakers I heard were Sonus Faber, Wilson, Paradigm (both regular and Persona line), B&W, Martin Logan, Legacy Audio, and I'm sure some I am forgetting.

Agreed  Walter.   It amazes me that people have nothing better to do with their time than torch a given brand at every opportunity.  Imagine reading the thousands of posts on the DI thread just waiting for that perfect moment to inject some venom.  Get a  life!
