Tekton Electron has been released

As expected, the Tekton Double Impact received a 5 star rave-up from Home Theatre Review. The reviewer made mention of a smaller version for those of us with smaller rooms. I shot Eric Alexander an email at about 8:30 last night and was surprised to receive a reply a few minutes later. He said that the scaled down version, which he named the Electron, had just gone live on his website a few minutes earlier.

I haven't heard any of his speakers yet, but I am really curious, especially about this one. I'm sure that conspiracy theorists will have plenty to say about the reviewer, and the weird patent (they already have savaged the patent, and I don't really blame them), but I am not as suspicious as some, and I think these speakers must be pretty good, or they wouldn't keep getting such enthusiastic reviews from users as well. I want to hear these speakers!

@evolvist--your sour grapes are beginning to ferment.
Not really. I've said very little. In fact, I pretty much closed my own topic in the other thread. I haven't posted anything in quite a while. It's just that the last bit I felt was particularly laughable. Of course, 99% audio reviewers are fairly laughable when you look at them in context to all other reviews. Everything is a sell. If it weren't so then there would be a lot more truth-in-audio out there. 

As-is, both the good and the bad are determined by experiential knowledge. The article could have been talking about Magico and I still would have laughed.

When I heard Cat Stevens in the Parasound room with the Electron SEs I enjoyed the best renditions of "Where do the children play" and "Hard headed woman" I got at the show. Exciting dynamics, drum kit impact, beautiful guitar, and his voice was just perfect and dead center, superb room.

Eric Alexander said: " We have the Electron and Electron SE models honed, refined, and sounding better than ever. The dome tweeter array (doing all of the mid-range) is identical to the Impact Monitor and Enzo 2.7"
I own Enzo 2.7s and they certainly do not have dome tweeters.  Do you guys make speakers out of whatever components you have lying around? I see no consistency in anything Tekton makes.  Also, update your website.  It's full of incorrect and conflicting information.
