Tekton Electron has been released

As expected, the Tekton Double Impact received a 5 star rave-up from Home Theatre Review. The reviewer made mention of a smaller version for those of us with smaller rooms. I shot Eric Alexander an email at about 8:30 last night and was surprised to receive a reply a few minutes later. He said that the scaled down version, which he named the Electron, had just gone live on his website a few minutes earlier.

I haven't heard any of his speakers yet, but I am really curious, especially about this one. I'm sure that conspiracy theorists will have plenty to say about the reviewer, and the weird patent (they already have savaged the patent, and I don't really blame them), but I am not as suspicious as some, and I think these speakers must be pretty good, or they wouldn't keep getting such enthusiastic reviews from users as well. I want to hear these speakers!

Good low-end specs and small drivers for smaller rooms. But sensitivity is rated for 8 ohms, and this is a 4 ohm nominal speaker.
It’s not too tall at 46", and a small footprint; also good for a small room. If it has rear ports, I wonder how far it needs to be from front wall.

Would love to see the impedance curve of the Electron and the actual sensitivity spec at 4 ohms nominal.

Great info, Al, was waiting for your input. My Android locked up, so my post was sorted after yours.

Mac, realise that if you were to any mods inside the speaker, it would void the warranty.
An external crossover might be possible, but I think it best to have a schematic of the crossover network, and it would need to be bypassed.
