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.

That was a nice dissertation from Jim salk on his using the Satori BE. HE NEVER SAID BE WAS HORRID AS A MATERIAL FOR A TWEETER !
 DID he?     This industry has a memory like an elephant.   .

 

 I never said SB has poor drivers. If Tekton uses a $53 midwoofer Retail and it plays their intended pass band so be it. Bigger companies have purchasing power and can have drivers custom made with differing magnets and voice coil winding.

 Huge claims by the pom pomers claiming they beat $30k speakers is Typical Internet sales on these forums. Distributors allow demos and proof by direct head to head comparison.

Snapsc,

Hardly any speakers that Stereophile measures are found to have sensitivity ratings outside the margin of error for the testing. Go look it up instead of making it up.
