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.

@ks2  In response to your comment, I would suggest that you can be very comfortable with the Tekton line.  I suspect the newer Perfect SET is another excellent speaker and a huge value.  The VAST majority of Tekton owners are very very happy owners.  It's just that some have focused on rearticulating a very small number on negative posts over and over and over.  This skews ones perception.  As teajay points out, some very high end brands all have things that go wrong.  It's part of life.

I will say this.  I know of NO speaker line that offers so much for so little.  This is not opinion, it is simple math.  Add up the cost of the drivers alone in the DI's, for example, relative to their price.  It's a crazy low mark up.  Eric has offered the audio community a huge value here.  MORE importantly, he knows how to blend the drivers in a special way.  One uniformed poster suggested a "DIY" effort with Tekton  which is just sheer ignorance.  I've done a few DIY builds with good results--but nothing close to my DI's.  Nor would I ever fool myself into thinking "I could do that."  
@teajay Any new discoveries on the Perfect SET? Have you used other new amp with them? 

Have you used the speakers connected directly to the MicroZOTL preamp, like you did with the Double Impacts?

Thank you for your response 
 teajay,
how does the sensitivity compare to the nsmt 50, Does the nsmt play louder at the same volume settings on your amp(s)?

thanks.
