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.

I am a completely disinterested, or maybe better described as a impartial party to Tekton products. I think that Tekton maybe receives just a little more criticism than other speaker brands. One guess why is perhaps this started a while ago when Eric was angered by some critical of the technology behind his product and rightly or wrongly threatened to sue the antagonizers on Audiogon.

Another guess is that there is a small number of Tekton owners who call anyone who has anything critical to say about their speakers as "haters". This points to a level of immaturity that for some of us creates an impression where we consider any of their other opinions, anywhere, with a grain of salt.

For many of us, for various reasons, any huge speaker of any brand will need to be used in a dedicated audio room or basement set up. Having monoliths in our family room just does not work, if you need to ask why don’t bother you would not understand.

I do not have expensive speakers. But if I purchased anything for $30k, and saw equal performance for $4K, that would not bother me at all if I liked the look of my purchase better and it gave me pride of ownership. As was mentioned before, if you are purchasing luxury goods your not sweating the small stuff. Some people find making large amounts of money easy and fun and spending it is the same. Anyone thinking that the purchaser of the luxury goods is "butt hurt" and jealous of the "working stiff" is clearly not able to see that these terms would better describe their own feelings.

I think "hater" is targeted at some very specific types of comments.  I haven't seen where someone went off the rails because someone said they didn't like Tektons.  I think it's the more to do with the uninformed comments that border on ignorance which trigger the responses, but I also haven't gone through every thread, so maybe I missed something.  I've seen this same thing in Magnepan threads, especially in the Audio Asylum forums over a decade ago, I stopped visiting that place, got way too toxic for me to spend time wading through the noise.  

And "butt hurt" can be fairly accurate for those people who can afford the more expensive things because if they weren't they wouldn't bother beating their chests about it and just enjoy their purchases while others enjoyed theirs.  Again, this isn't a general statement as I've been part of plenty of discussions/arguments with both types, those that need to try and prove some point with the main argument being they paid more, and the other that is fortunate and desired the more expensive item but admires or understands the validity of the cheaper item. 

There are plenty of broke mfrs who act snobbish when they come into possession of expensive products.  So there's that.
Three Easy Payment you are really in need of help. FYI I am happily retired and do not sell anything for anyone. If you want to believe otherwise just take your posts somewhere else please. You are welcome to show your arrogant ignorance elsewhere. Same goes for all other conspiracy theorists out there.
I'm jumping in to support @wisty on this thread. It's this guy's 1st post & just to say he digs his speakers and it devolves into weirdness. Apparently mostly from the 3 dog nite guy, who got his posts removed, thankfully. Guys like 3 dog have issues that go beyond trolling forums. 

So: Wisty, keep posting. Report the sad trolls who haven't been housebroken. 

I'm a Zu guy (& Tannoy) and hope to own a set of Tektons also one day. Because, you know: Utah. I dig the big chewy texture speakers. Peace out.
