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.

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.)

Based on a $3500 upgrade price for the Be tweeters on the Electron SE...see the link....I'm thinking the upgrade for the standard Electron is more than a couple hundred $$$....so, @jsslv...how much extra did you pay for the Be if you don't mind telling us?

List price is $3500 for Electron SE

Upgrade to Beryllium is an additional $3500.. All the tweeter units are upgraded to SB Acoustics Be tweeters but these are not the Sartori units since they are too wide for the electron cabinet. Each tweeter unit retails at Madisonsound for $299 so for 14 tweeter units , we are looking at $4200 retail !

Tekton is discounting the Electron Be from a retail price of $7000 to $6000 right now.

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.
