Tekton Electon/DI compares to what?

"I had emailed Tekton about a week ago about some product information and still have not heard back. Customer service is pretty important to me especially if I can't buy locally..."

 I found Tekton to be very responsive via phone calls.  I had made a couple of calls, having to leave voicemails, and the calls were always returned either by Eric or his assistant. They were courteous and answered all my questions, never tried to upsell me.  So today I ordered a pair of Electrons. They were upfront and telling me it would be a couple weeks before I receive them, so no surprises there. I'm really pumped to hear these! 

I can't speak to the Electrons because I have not heard them, but I have heard the DI speakers and ended up ordering a set of mini Ulfs from that.
Speakers I heard were Sonus Faber, Wilson, Paradigm (both regular and Persona line), B&W, Martin Logan, Legacy Audio, and I'm sure some I am forgetting.

Agreed  Walter.   It amazes me that people have nothing better to do with their time than torch a given brand at every opportunity.  Imagine reading the thousands of posts on the DI thread just waiting for that perfect moment to inject some venom.  Get a  life!

Look, I understand the skepticism toward Tekton speakers and even, to a degree, some of the backlash over their "sudden" popularity. For sure, a healthy skepticism is a highly desirable quality in the world of high end audio. I was skeptical myself, but I had some time off this summer and just wanted to see what all of the fuss was about. So I tried the Double Impacts, and after a few weeks of breaking them in, I got it. In my system and to my ears and for my listening preferences, they are phenomenal speakers, and not just at their price point.

I can also understand how someone might not find them to be their cup of tea, though I would caution anyone trying them to give them a chance to settle in, especially if they are new, before making a final judgment. Measurements notwithstanding, there is an undeniable subjective element in what we like and do not like in sound, so if someone doesn't like them, so be it.

What I cannot understand is the persistent drumbeat of the four or five self-appointed Tekton detractors--all of whom admit to having never actually heard the speakers themselves--who constantly show up in Tekton threads to disparage the speakers. Skepticism is one thing, rendering a judgment on something you have no firsthand experience with is just ridiculous, and doing it repeatedly is...weird? Absurd? Foolish? Irresponsible? Take your pick.

Maybe the speakers and their relative affordability is somehow threatening to folks with a lot more money and ego invested in their speakers. I have no idea and don't care. Not my circus, not my monkeys, as they say. But those who are considering an audition of the speakers should be aware that a lot of the negative talk about Tekton speakers--at least in this forum--has been generated by these same few members, whatever their agenda or motives may be for posting repeatedly about speakers they have absolutely no experience with.

The OP is seeking input from people who have actually tried the speakers. What is so difficult to comprehend about that?
