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 I agree, it’s proven the xa 25 is perfect match for the impact monitor, The SET would probably shine on the XA 25...
@jetter

+1... @jayctoy

Absolutely agree the XA25 will be great with the Perfect SET! Just put a wonderful tube pre in front of it and < mike drop >!! :)

thanks again for the feedback

sounds like the SET  works best with more powerful SS amps?

these might not  be suited for "flea watt" amps, is what i'm gathering?  

Thanks 
The Tektons loves good ss amp, Iam using modified SS  Plinius SA 100...My Viva tube is 22 w it does sound good on my impact monitors, but can’t do the dynamics and the bass impact Plinius does.....When I order the SET I will be using my concerto 40 w art audio...this is probably enough power for them...
Roadwarrior75 you can try your Threshold with the SET if you decide to order, the combo at Teajay is well match, the SET are happy...
