Tekton Double Impacts

lpretiring:
I will anxiously await your receiving and listening to the Electrons. I have been procrastinating over which Tekton to eventually order for my winter place in Florida. I won't be there until December, so I haven't attempted to communicate with Eric as of yet. I also have a small room there....11x11. I'm concerned the DIs size will be a problem as well as dealing with its' abundant weight. The Electrons seem to be a safer bet. I'm still not sure what the sonic differences are. I presently have Zu Superflys in the Florida space with a small subwoofer. I'm using a Dennis Had Inspire amp which will drive the Tektons as well. I assume I wouldn't need a sub with either Tekton....I don't listen at loud volumes. My "taste" can probably be best described as a Koetsu lover....going back to the earliest incarnations.

@vitop:

About the Ulf jr's: How tall are they? I would assume they also have the 15 tweeter arrays with 4 low mid drivers.  What's the size and configuration of the bass drivers? Thanks

...Yeah, my only reservation is whether to spring for the Electons or the Mini-Ulfs. My room is 13x12x8, so the larger models might not be optimal.

It’s just only that when @vitop mentioned Houston, and some available to audition my ears perked up. It’s always at least a fun excursion going to audition speakers. :-)

Hi Lula,
Yes, a lot of strong similarities to our quests.

Eric mentioned to me that aside from the frequency benefit on the extremes of the D.I.'s that the 2 models are about the same. I'm fine with a true 30 hz low end and in my case being 65 years old I'm told that old folk lose some high frequency extension as we progress. So if your o.k. with a 30hz low end, when you ripen up some more you will have nothing to worry about if you choose the Electrons is my early opinion.

I also struggled with the issue of size and weight. I think many do. It is a tough decision.

The one thing that really bugged me was the loss of sensitivity between them which is impacting my amplifier options. 

My room is 11X15X8 and I as well perceive that I listen at a senior level.

I will absolutely post my impressions, however my instincts are suggesting to me that it may be awhile before the delivery guy rings the bell.

@sebrof I am in Houston. If you're in Texas you could still be 900 miles away! LOL
I didn't search back as to what flavor of Tekton you wanted to sample in Texas, but I have DIs with the upgrade package currently. I should have DI Special Editions in a couple of weeks.
If you come, bring Scotch and your bike. Just got back from a 25 mile ride myself. It's a bit warm in south Texas today!
Lastly, I am an underachiever in the signal path vs the average on this thread. No SET amp. No multi-thousand dollar DAC or TT. But I think you can get a good idea of the speaker's capabilities from my rig. Just drop me a PM if you are actually close and are interested in coming by.
