Tekton Electon/DI compares to what?

What part of" HAVING HEARD" did you Pom Pomers not hear????. Seems the same group of half dozen people who drank the Kool aid sit on hear and self regulate (Ill refrain from what was intended to be said, it just starts with a "M") and feed their need to prove to the rest of the American consumers "US". That we are fools.

 Sounds a bit self serving and narcissistic.

 There were tubes and top line DACs, battery powered and it was a reviewers personal room.
 YES I and many can tell in 1 min if I am gonna like a speakers sound.. This was not a NEW speaker but well broken in..

 SORRY put away your pom poms and say. MY ears like them and that's what matters.. DO not compare them to HIGH end lines and say THEY ARE >>>>> Killers.. Horrible marketing by the owner , IMHO, ASK Bob Carver if that worked..

 I personal talked to Bob and he regretted that to this day..

 Enjoy your speakers but seems disparaging any higher end design by praising these is a self defeating marketing method..

  BY THE BY, IM NOT BASHING  Tekton.. Just stating Mine and a few others who have well regarded systems and have attended many CES and shows with me

 

@waltersalas thank you for following up with me, it's appreciated! If I may, what other components do you have in your chain and approx. how big is your room and distance from tweet to listening position? Close to the back-wall are they placed?

The spatial restrictions have been leaning towards the Electron and even then they may too big. It sounds like I should give Eric a call and see what his opinion is since email is clearly not an viable option. I wish they would just say this like Andy at Vintage Tube Services does instead of leaving  a bunch of us hanging.

@msommers 

My Double Impacts are driven by a Line Magnetic 508ia integrated amp, a beautiful match in my opinion. I have a Lampizator Atlantic DAC, an Allnic H1201 phono stage, a Well Tempered Amadeus turntable with an Audio Technica ART-9 cartridge. My music server is an Aurender X100L. Cables are a combination of Teo Gamechangers and Cerious Technologies Graphene.

My room is 20 X 20, but open in the back. The front of the speakers are about four feet off the walls. They are about nine feet apart, and I sit about nine feet away.

I know some guys have them in smaller rooms, so maybe they will speak up. How big is your room? I am sorry if you mentioned this somewhere else and I missed it.

@cap 

Not sure if your post is directed at me, but if it was, my post was not directed at you. With your total of thirteen posts on this site, you do not post often enough to qualify as one of the Tekton Trolls, even with your enthusiastic use of all caps and condescending language toward Tekton owners. Try as I may, I cannot decode the rest of your post, which seems to have something to do with Bob Carver and pom poms.

You've heard the Tektons, it appears. That's fine. Your impressions are as valid as anyone else's, but no more so, whatever your audiophile bona fides may be. I didn't catch many specifics in your comments on the Double Impacts. What did you hear them compared to, and what differences did you perceive?

Flat ! UN-engaging and lacked presence for their size. Three dimensional dynamics were weak..  Bass was weak but I will say it was a low powered tube amp. Albeit his two powered subs were overdoing their job until we all asked to demo them without. This wasn't a low cost set up..  This wasn't just me. All of us left un satisfied as we were told they were giant killers. One guy was told  he would sell his Wilson's after hearing/ My13 posts are from lack of posting here as its not a dedicated site for specifics..  I have... ,Not that it matters thousands of posts on a few audio forums..

 

 There is no bashing continue on your journey . BUT dont bash those who do not drink the Kool Aid  and HAVE heard them.

 Enjoy your journey.. They were not for me or the few who I respect either.. There is a pair near me that I almost spent time to go re listen to but time is money and I wasted enough of that already on them..
14 and out !
