Tekton Electron Be


I recently purchased Tekton Electrons with Beryllium tweeters, serial numbers 1 and 2. Full review to follow in a few weeks.

Preliminary impressions : incredible detail, soundstage and dynamic sound.I upgraded from a set of Gallo 3.1 reference speakers with additional sub amp. I was considering the Sonus Olympica IIIs or Focal Sopra 2s but glad I took the 90 day trial from Tekton . Double impacts would have been too large and difficult to optimize positioning for my space.

Any questions please ask.

I am located in Las Vegas incase anybody is interested in auditioning.

I don't buy speakers to look at them. I buy speakers to listen to them. Most of the time in the dark. So a few reviewers will have to miss out on waxing poetic over inlaid multi-layer strain-relief unobtainium solid wood matrix laminated curvilinear construction. Big whoop. Always thought there were a whole lot of us missing out on great sound priced out of reach only because of the cost of over the top cabinetry. Long past time someone decided to make us listeners something to actually enjoy listening to more than looking at.

Which I would really, really like to do. Could probably get enough selling my Talon Khorus to make a pair of Moabs very doable. Sure would make for a nice Christmas present. Anyone in the Seattle area got a pair of Moab- or any other Tekton for that matter- they might like to show off for me??
Right, I was mixing this up with the other parts upgrade they have. Cardas terminals, "mil spec" (whatever that means) wiring, upgraded caps, etc. The reviews I'm seeing are ranking these up there with speakers ten times the price. So many different positive reviews, including everyone here who's heard them, its almost beyond doubt by now. In fact the main questions have to do with which Tekton model matches best with which room/system, which one seems to be the best value relative to the others, just how significant are the upgrades, etc.
Tekton is top of my speaker upgrade list. Technically, Tekton IS the list! Lol! Moab, Moab Be, Ulfberht. That's about it. Their low mass midrange approach is the first really promising new thing I've seen in years. Even better, it actually seems to work. So very keen to hear what you think.

For now though I am curious what you think about the Be upgrade. It seems to cost only a couple hundred bucks on yours but $9500 on the Moab?? Is that because they only upgraded the one tweeter on yours? Vs all of them on the Moab? (Yes I know all but one of the "tweeters" are all together really the midrange, only one of the "tweeters" is really a tweeter. Which is confusing. But you know what I mean.)
