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.

@jetter it's not a "trial fee" but you are responsible for return shipping which can be pricey for a heavy speaker.
@lula it's actually easier to manipulate a floorstander around on furniture gliders  than to move the monitors around on stands.Low side tables would be easier.I've got mobility issues too🙂Getting the larger beasts in the house can be done by sliding them around carefully in their boxes.A tarp or even a dollar store shower curtain underneath helps.

@teajay 

was looking on the Tekton website and speaker is rated @96dB  and with a 12" bass driver. will my LTA MZ2  have enough, to get good solid bass or should i stick with more power for better bass  impact and soundstage?
