Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"

Just got in house for review for hometheaterreview.com Tekton Design’s new, The Perfect SET, which is close to 100dB efficient and never dips below 8 ohms, which Eric built to be used with SET "flea watt" amplifiers. It is a front ported design using a 12 inch woofer and his patented array of small transducers that function as a midrange driver with a single tweeter in the middle. I set them up in a system with a great 2A3 SET amplifier and found them so superlative I did not stop listening for over five hours! Taking about "goosebump time" the music was so beautiful that
I lost track of time.

These speakers have all the virtues of the other Tekton speakers, speed, utter transparency/micro-details, great soundstaging, and that special "aliveness" that I experience when I listen to my Ulf’s. What really amazed me was what the Perfect SET was delivering on the bottom end frequencies, subterrainian/taut powerful bass, that was shaking the room, all coming from at most 2.5 to 3 watts.

If you love SET amplifiers this speaker is a match made in heaven, and remember this pair just arrived and is not totally burnt in yet.

kosst, what upsets you about Tekton’s success? You do realize that they are successful because they have many happy customers, and relatively few complaints, mostly about speaker grills arriving late.

Are you posting to inform these satisfied customers that they should not be happy with their purchases because you don’t like their construction or the patents? If not, what is the message, I'm sure its clear to you but its not clear to all readers?

Cap.... "In "My" opinion if Tekton wants to promote their line with no distributor distribution. They should offer a PAID hotel stay, or fuel reimbursement to and from any owner or place that may have Tekton speakers to listen and demo." 

Cap, this is really not a practical idea. I cannot think of one company that offers this service at all, especially not for a relatively low cost product like a Tekton speaker.  There are reasons.

Think of it like this, when I travel on business I am required to submit my expense reports with supporting documents in order to be reimbursed for my travel cost.  They want to know I went where I said I was, and the business purpose for my travel.  They also want to know I spent my per diem hotel and food cost on lodging and food, not alcohol, theater, or the ladies.  My immediate supervisor has to sign off that he has reviewed all of this before I am reimbursed.  Who is going to verify all the travel documents sent to Tekton?  Also, my best friends live in Manhattan, LA and Miami and do have Tekton speakers, I just remembered I haven't visited them in a while...…...

I don't understand the $300 "trial fee" mentioned above and a $400 fee mentioned in other post about the DI.  Do you actually pay Tekton for the trial or is that just the returned speakers shipping cost you pay Fedex or UPS?

kosst, even if you were right, it doesn’t matter. If you were selling speakers, I would give my business to Tekton just to not be buying them from you.  I did not always think this way.

It would be interesting to hear how the PS will sound with the Pass xa25, seems like they would be perfect together.
