Tekton Electron Be

Mil-spec stuff is rated to work in harsh environments like extreme heat, vibration, radiation, etc.  Not really applicable to home audio but it sounds good.

Hello JSSIts been a while since your post but I am considering ordering a pair of Electron SE. I used to have a pair of DIs but after I moved to my new house they became to large for the space. If your offer for audition is still open I’d love to check them out. BTW I am in Vegas too.Thanks. Wisty

I just had the opportunity to listen to the Electron SE with the BE tweeter array at JSSLV's home. Thank you my friend. Previously I owned a pair of basic DIs but sold them when I moved to a smaller house. These Electrons SE/BE compared very favorably to the DIs . Bear in mind that this is not a controlled observation due to the different rooms and electronics but the Electrons SE as compared to the DIs seemed smoother with superior tonal balance and far more adept at reproducing every tiny nuance from the recording. In general a more hi-end sound. Just like the DI the Electrons throw an expansive soundstage with basement low bottoms. The low end may not be as massive as the DIs but its deep, tight and plenty impactful. My bottom line opinion is that the  Electron SE is a significantly better sounding speaker. I wish I could also listen to the Electron SEs with the standard tweeter array for a comparison but the  array with the Beryllium tweeter is absolutely remarkable . Again thanks to JSSLV for allowing me to listen to his set.

I am looking at these speakers for my moderate size listening area. Would like to keep costs down so would prefer to keep costs down so would prefer to forego the extras. But if it is felt that they are absolutely necessary to get great sound and reliability from these speakers I might change my mind.
