Tekton Electron SE

I had a pair of Tekton Double Impacts that I sold when I moved to a smaller home. After a year of evaluating various smaller speakers I decided to go back to Tekton but with the more compact Electron SE. In my room these speakers work perfectly. The bass on these smaller speakers is unbelievably deep and tight. I miss none of the punch from the bigger Double Impacts. On mine's I used a single Beryllium tweeter on the middle of the array. The tops on these are very extended and crisp clear more so than the DBs. The imaging and sweet-spot is electrostatic-like with excellent ability to present the faintest details in a recording. In my appreciation other than the ability to convey a "bigger" bass the Electrons have a more refined sound and the bass in my room is more than sufficient with a tighter presntation than that of the DB's. Feel free to send questions if you have any.

I use a couple of high end speakers (TAD, Schweikert) in my dedicated stereo room. I try to explore more "affordable" speakers in another room for multichannel and stereo.

Stuff from 3 designers, Andrew Jones, Danny Ritchie (GR) and Eric (Tekton) seems to consistently hit waayy above their price point. I had Tekton speakers in the past and I would put them up against some high end speakers. I only settled on the Adante series from Andrew Jones because I wanted it to be a series that I could also use for both stereo and multichannel.

There is plenty of crap posing as high end in the high end market. Only a few things are actually worth the price, ime. No, you don't always get what you paid for  I suspect that it is primarily dealers for high end lurking on forums like these that try to thread crap whenever GR, Tekton, etc are discussed. If your stuff is so pristine, why are so insecure, Mr. dealer? (tk tsk) ...Your sht should shine ever so brightly above the rest and you should have no insecurities in life...no insecurities at all about earning your daily bread (wink wink).
