Which Tekton???

I am running an Outlaw 2160, Fluance RT85, and Schiit Modi 3 currently into Elac debut 1.0 speakers. I have gotten a bonus and have around 2K to spend and really like what I have heard review wise from Tekton. I have looked at other brands (vander, klipsch, JBL, Elac, Zu, ETC) and for the money seems like Tekton is the way to go. Being in OKC I have no places to audition speakers so I am choosing by youtube reviews, reading here, reading online about room acoustics and general research. With my budget I trying to decide between the Perfect set 10 and Electron which is a smaller version of the double impact. Also I am mainly rock no jazz or classical. Thanks in advance for guidance.

@millercarbon, so many Tekton speakers.  I was thinking he should get the Electron speakers, not the Enzo speakers.  The Electrons truly look like scaled down Double Impacts.  Just smaller woofers and midranges, while the tweeter array seems almost identical to the DI.

@dlongj75 If you have just placed your order within the last week you should have no problem changing speakers if you want to.

If it was me and had your decision to make I might go with the Electron SE or Electron, if I had the amp to power them, or thought I would in the future. However, the 8 vs 4 ohm difference is there. But, as you can tell from the above responses, no one seems to have heard both, and only a couple seem to have heard either.

I would discuss this frankly with Eric.

Also @dlongj75, I read somewhere that the array crossover on the Perfect Sets are designed for the single, at the center array speaker to act as the tweeter.
I was thinking about this today.  I am not sure of the answer, just throwing this out there.  But I believe in all the "higher" speakers in the Tekton line that is the case, i.e., the middle speaker in the array is a tweeter.  But if the Perfect Sets are two way, not sure how that could be the case.  Wouldn't it need to be a three way speaker to have the middle array speaker be a true tweeter?

I would rather have the Electron, talk to Eric.

Without having heard either, I am just speculating.  But I would take the Electron over the Perfect Set any day.  Wouldn't you think that Eric has the 4 way crossover down pact?  And the Encore builds on the basic successful skeletal framework of the DI. I would think dual 8" woofers per speaker will give them plenty of slam for rock.  I'm surprised you don't see it this way.  JMHO
