Tekton Electron has been released

The custom paint makes a big difference in their looks. It's a much more polished and professional look. My next pair will be BMW Phoenix Green. Eric does an amazing job with veneers, but the wait will be quite long. 

The 4 ohm impedence does make them less tube friendly but they sound great with tubes. My 24 watt Decware gives me SPL levels in the upper 70's, which is a enough for me 95% of the time, but strains beyond that. I'll be going with a Linear Tube Audio ZOTL 40 tube amp which will drive my DI's easily......it's the same amp Terry London used to review the DI's. The Electrons would probably do just fine with a smaller tube amp. I'm assuming those smaller drivers would take less power to drive but I could be wrong. 

Yeah......what Al said! What amazes me about Al's explanations is how he makes it so that I can understand the more technical aspects of audio. I feel that I should be paying tuition. Thanks once again Al for your enlightening contributions.

milpai, the DI's will work very well in a small room as they perform very well at low volume levels. If they are physically too large that's where the electron comes in. 

kalali, I hear you. I call Eric the mad speaker scientist as he's constantly inventing new models. Probably more models than needed but it's in his blood to create. I've not heard the OB Sigma's but have heard nothing but good things about them. 

wgutz, interesting point. I've owned Tektons in both the satin and automotive finishes and can't say there's any sonic difference. Like you I have a decent amount of quadratic diffusers in the room, maybe they lessen any reflection issues.

I've found the DI's to have no listener fatigue in my system at all. They are very dynamic and alive.......and as subtle and refined as need be. As Jeffery mentioned they are very revealing and will bring forth whatever is upstream of them.

For a frame of reference I had the Magneplanar mg 1.7i's before getting the DI's and had the Legacy Audio Focus SE's at the same time. The DI's had pretty much everything the Maggie's but added a lot more dynamic slam and much better bass. The DI's had a much more realistic soundstage also, one more in scale with the music than the larger than life soundstage of the Maggie's. The DI's and Focus SE's were more similar than dissimilar but again the DI's had more dynamic slam. All three speakers are wonderful and I'm not knocking any of them, I just preferred the Di's. For me the DI's presented the most realism and dynamics while still at least equaling the others in most other sonic attributes. 

I listen to a wide array of music with jazz and female vocalists being my favorites. And yeah, every now and then I like to revisit my youth and rock out to the likes of ELP, Metallica, Bowie.....oh anything from the 70's or 80's. Mostly it's the likes of Holly Cole, Patricia Barber, Sarah Jarosz, Rickie Lee Jones, Cowboy Junkies, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, McCoy Tyner and Keith Jarrett that I listen to. The DI's with my Decware Torii tube amp and PS Audio Perfectwaves provide beautiful music with all. 

Are they perfect? Nothing is but I've found no fault with them yet. 

Roxy54, the DI's are the most transparent speakers I've owned and reproduce vocals better also. I've owned Legacy Focus SE's, Magneplanar 1.7i's, Revel Salons, Magneplanar 3.6 and Vandersteen 1, 2ce and 3a's. I had someone over today who owns Zu's and he was very impressed with my DI's. The DI's are the finest speakers I've owned and that's saying a lot as far as I'm concerned because all of the other speakers I've owned were quite good. 

Grannyring......I've had my DI's for over six months now and still can't believe they are as good as they. They have no business being this good! So I can definitely understand someone thinking the praise regarding them is too good to be true!
I'm somewhat handy, I did wire my dedicated lines myself, is replacing the internal wiring relatively easy? I have some Duelund 16g wire.....the WE replica....would that work? I have the Clarity caps, the Duelund caps are intriguing. Would they be best done in an external crossover? As you've probably surmised, I have no previous experience upgrading caps, but I'm good with a soldering iron.

Thanks grannyring. Maybe I'll just try my hand at re-doing the wiring for now. I already have the Duelund wire. Thanks for your input.

Yeah lowrider, I realize it would void the warranty but it's a chance I'm willing to take. In all the years I've owned speakers I've never had a warranty issue.....lets hope that continues!
