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.

was looking on the Tekton website and speaker is rated @96dB  and with a 12" bass driver. will my LTA MZ2  have enough, to get good solid bass or should i stick with more power for better bass  impact and soundstage?

@teajay 

have you tried the Coda #8 amp and are you still getting goosebumps or do you prefer a tube presentation?

asked a few questions on Coda #8  thread and  no response?

Thanks

thank you for the feedback.

did you guys listen with both tube gear and SS  and your thoughts?

was looking at adding a second system and thought about the SET speaker. since i own the LTA MZ2S (1 watt)   it would be a wonderful combo?

Thanks

thanks again for the feedback

sounds like the SET  works best with more powerful SS amps?

these might not  be suited for "flea watt" amps, is what i'm gathering?  

Thanks
