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.

Not saving anyone from any "Evil Forces" Just asking questions and not getting answers

 When a company draws a line in the sand and makes a blanket statement that we all are wrong and hearing things terribly from inferior material that others are praising and low and behold. Its suddenly appears in their Top line speakers at a premium.

 Whats that tell you about the company ? They were not correct with their thinking ! Many of consumers may have bought the other material recommended by the manufacture using it, Now their speakers are upgrade able to a better material that they were told not to buy !  
 Maybe the mods should make a section just for reviews of reviewers. No posting just a review. Then its Caveat Emptor

 It looks a tad sales like in most of your threads in not only mine but others opinions
Im sure this wont last !

When I threw out the idea of a truce...It was NOT to say you should not defend yourself....you should & did....as did others who would prefer that these threads remain as positive as possible.


The truce suggestin was to say that all the detractors had pretty much said all they can say...as had all of the defenders...so  it seemed that nothing worthwhile was going to happen...until you/we got back to actually talking about the performance of the Perfect Set.

@oddio....its pretty clear that you don't like the looks...again, no big deal...based on looks, you won't be a Tekton customer for the time being....not everyone is.    I made it a point at the Florida Audio Show yesterday to ask people how important looks were to their purchase decision (why, because there were some really beautiful products being shown)...and would looks stop them from buying a speaker that they liked...pretty much what I heard was about 60% said that looks mattered enough to stop them from buying something they didn't like....but then again, you may like the ultra modern Paradigm Persona and hate the beautiful woodwork of the Legacy...as they say..beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

@jtcf  +1  totally agree....from the Tekton website...." * Returned speakers must be in new condition - no signs of damage or abuse, including scratches, fingerprints, dust, etc."  couldn't be more clear...and I also use the gloves and towel method when I'm auditioning things.

@teajay....to follow up on your sweet spot comment...is it that the Perfect Set is at its best at a low listening level....or that its really good all listening levels and just that its a surprise how good it is at low levels?

Yep, they sound better than Maggies (any of them)
