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?
