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.

In the interest of overall fairness to Teajay with respect to Tekton... it’s worth noting that in his HTR review last month of the Model 50s as speakers that can be paired with Set Amps... he concludes by saying that he liked the 50s so much that he bought them. 


I for one one appreciate that he he looks for smaller companies that are doing great things... and tries to shine a light on them.

Hey invictus005,

I recommend you let your very intelligent dog that you mentioned before read my statement.  I believe your smart canine will make the correct interpretation or see the parallel more clearly then his master.

@teajay To put things into perspective, in another thread Invictus005 stated:
Devialet makes the best sounding amplifier in the world and it’s an integrated amp. So there.
That’s where he’s coming from.

There is a preponderance of posts strongly suggesting that Tekton speakers are poorly built and that customer service is very hot or miss. If you're going to call all those people liars, then you're obliged to prove every one of those posts is false. Good luck. 

Also, clinging to the claim that there's anything of wit or intelligence in that patent punches a big hole in your respectability. Go look at it if you haven't. The patent claims to protect any speaker design with multiple drivers in any configuration, including typical 2 way, 3 way, 4 way, and line arrays configurations. It's not with the electrons that produced it on my screen.

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?
