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.

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?



Teajay.

 If You did not come on here and proclaim them as the Bell of the ball almighty giant killers,    Tekton may have a better chance at being taken seriously. In any Tekton thread there have been individuals like my self who have had first hand experience with them and are considered Trolls or hatters. We have met and albeit , we don't agree on speakers, I respect your passion. You might have had the largest CD collection I have ever seen, definitely the best organized

 In thirty years of this high end industry I, as others have seen many speakers that claim to be the next giant killers with spiral zenophonic linial phase aural acoustics that some individual has figured out.
 Bashing big names and disparaging manufactures for charging more than you think is not gonna gain respect.
  It is also very difficult for many to accept something as the next best without paying  $400 to try it. No dealers to demo makes most leery and a costly ordeal. Show conditions are always less than ideal

 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,  Its far easier for both the consumer and the and the manufacture as shipping is costlier, and time is saved  with less damaged units !  Many manufactures market to the idea that once a person gets their product in their home they have a much higher chance of them not returning the product based not only on joy but fear of rejection from others. Reshipping hassles.. On a desert island even a ugly girl becomes pretty !

 
 
 
whats your thoughts or have you reviewed    BE  version vrs their silk?

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...…...
