Tekton Electron SE

Thanks for all your responses. I, honestly, did not expect them.

I believe that many, if not most, of the posters around here have at some point had a few systems. Be it a $100 000 one with a Bluetooth speaker as a secondary one, or any other combination. As Tekton has largely favorable reviews, it is not hard to imagine an audiophile with enough disposable cash to select Tekton for a decent, but pricewise less so, system in some adjacent room. That person could find out that Tekton is not exactly ten times worse than primary speakers, but is not up to the level of more expensive pair. I doubt a person would feel butt hurt at that time. More like "I got what I paid for and a little more than I expected". Now, if she/he voiced that opinion, I am afraid that on Audiogon she/he would be called some unpleasant and undeserved names.

Having said that, are there $30 000 speakers that are significantly, or even insignificantly, worse than $4500 Tektons? I am only aware of $1 000 000 Wilsons that millercarbon referenced elsewhere. It would be nice, and maybe useful to someone looking for new speakers, if such duds were identified.

Hello Millercarbon, my Electrons took about 4 or 5 days to break in. Bass was deep but sloppy at the beginning but after about 4 days it tightened up to perfection.BTW I am one of those who had $30k speakers. I’ve also listened to many more speakers throughout the years because I was in the industry. Tekton is not the best speaker I’ve had. I can think of a few that would handily outperform them. But the Tekton Electron’s size just works the best in my room while it also offers a very respectable performance.

To Wisty,

I too own Electron SE in red, opted for the bi-wire option. Glad I went this way over the basic DIs.

I feel mine sound fantastic with a Krell 50S class A power amp, and sound great at even low power late night. 

Of course they can rock-it also from my Digital Amp Co. Megaschino class D ..... so lets just forget about all the no account crybabies chirping about nothing. These whiners probably have not even heard a SE pair.

@musicbox78 I too am one happy Cherry amp owner. Best secret in audio? Wanna start a thread on them separately with me ? 

zufan,

Been with Tommy since 2012 or so as a Cherry owner, had his Cherry Ultra then ... and now the Megaschino. I have played with the Maraschino also. Always great reviews, but far from Mainstream snobbish audio as they still seem to distain class D as a car trunk amp POS. or is it really Advertising $$$ after all ?? 

*** zufan I not the prose writer, simply much prefer to ultilize my two God giving hearing organs. I whole heartedly will support you thou when pertinent. 

So zufan which model of ZU speakers you own, and what Cherry you running?? PS:  Tommy has my MEGA on the bench as we speak or perhaps off in testing now ..... getting his new rails installed. Mine is with 1800Watt trans, Cardas Binding posts, doulble Caps etc. Loaded!!

*** People on this forum ask stupid/silly/inane questions about their audio systems but never mention their rooms size, wall treatments, any pertinent problems as somebody is a mind reader. ***

I had always wanted the Essence ...seems the only ZU that can be considered as economical today is what the Dirty Weekend ... ?? Their prices have soared ... 

PS: Tommy also stands behind this products 100% as I can attest from years earlier.
