Tekton Electron SE


I had a pair of Tekton Double Impacts that I sold when I moved to a smaller home. After a year of evaluating various smaller speakers I decided to go back to Tekton but with the more compact Electron SE. In my room these speakers work perfectly. The bass on these smaller speakers is unbelievably deep and tight. I miss none of the punch from the bigger Double Impacts. On mine's I used a single Beryllium tweeter on the middle of the array. The tops on these are very extended and crisp clear more so than the DBs. The imaging and sweet-spot is electrostatic-like with excellent ability to present the faintest details in a recording. In my appreciation other than the ability to convey a "bigger" bass the Electrons have a more refined sound and the bass in my room is more than sufficient with a tighter presntation than that of the DB's. Feel free to send questions if you have any.

The root of the lack of trust in some ’reviews’ on forums stems from the way marketing now works on the internet. It is now accepted that most reviews for many products on Amazon are not genuine. Trip Advisor is similarly affected. The British Consumer Association called "Which?" (a non-profit organisation) has proved this and is running a campaign to try to force the affected companies to address it. With Amazon, reviewers are recruited from eBay and Facebook and paid or supplied with goods in return for positive reviews (this is not alleged, but a known fact as FB and eBay try and close down the recruiting companies activities). 

Often when you buy from a small independent direct-sales company, or small retailer, or stay perhaps at an independent hotel, you might hear a request to ’please give us a good review on xxxx’. This is marketing in 2020. This has happened to me once in in Hi-Fi where the value of a personal review on a Hi-Fi forum or in a Hi-Fi FB group is high. It is the best form of marketing and free. It was for a new board for a Naim amp that an independent servicing company had developed and just launched. Does the review get rewarded? That would be a strong allegation and I have no proof of that. But when you see the same brand gather many similar reviews on a forum it does, like on Amazon when you see 3000 reviews for something as trivial as say an Ethernet cable, it does raise suspicions.

I don't get all the hate for Tekton here. Ive had mine for three weeks now and I am thrilled with them. After hearing mine my neighbor is picking up a set. I mean they are great sounding speakers. Best ever,probably not. Amazing for the price, for me yeah. 2k all in and could not be more excited. I listened to all kinds of speakers. Tektons did it for me and let's be honest part of it was the look. Love that tweeter array. Im also not a 30 yr audiophile. This is my first higher end setup. Explain to me how they are bad speakers and I wasted my money.

Let the dude enjoy his Tektons.

Hard for haters to do anything but hate. Don't help none they can't read neither. Look at the one above, got not one thing right, couldn't comprehend a thing to save his life. Pages and pages, went on for weeks, still after all this time does not understand a single word. Not. One. Word. Pathetic.

Mine are sounding better than ever. Forget exactly my original review. It went something like this: 😁😁❤️❤️😍😍😍😍💕💕🔈🔈🔈🔈🔈😍❤️😍🔈🔊🔊😁😁❤️😍😍💕💕💕💕 Mega triggering haters everywhere😂😁😂😁😂

mwatsme,
I had the NAD M10 and have the NAD M33, there is no comparison.  The M33 is head and shoulders above everything I’ve heard, which realistically is not many compared to some.  It’s great in that all you need are speakers and speaker wires.  I stream Qobuz almost exclusively, occasionally use the Bluetooth  option to send to my B&W wireless headphones.  There is a significant wait for the M33’s now, but it’s worth it!
A person should feel safe expressing pleasure with their new EQ. Perhaps a tad boring is the repetitive Pro or con reviews.
Don’t know of any Tekton for me to review, and Assumption carries little weight. I’ve spent much time procuring fine late model examples of what I like and take great pleasure looking and listening, it can become the focal point of your free space.
I’m jealous of the PS audio sound room height not volume is my limiting factor, I see the last step just can’t take it. 
Be safe...enjoy

Cheers 
I guess for me part of the issue is there are fewer a d fewer  places to actually audition speakers. I am not going to magnolia to listen to klipsch and Elac. I need the reviews from people that have the speakers and can talk about them. I'm in OKC and would have to find someone with what I want and see if I can get invited to their house to hear speakers or travel to Dallas. Between this forum, Guttenberg, Darko, and a couple other YouTube I have to make and have made decisions based on all the information I gather on those formats. I bought Tektons based on user reviews mainly although Guttenberg review really helped solidify my decisions.  So I get the fake review issue but like Amazon and Wikipedia you have to figure out who you trust and how you want to sift through the fake reviews.  Just my .02
