High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
Rebbi,I like the De Capo a lot; but I like both Tektons much better. First, the bass is really, really good. Remember, I am a bass player. The Tekton is easy to drive, benevolent 8 ohm impedance, 95db, 98db efficiency, 38hz or 30hz bass. They thro...

Last comment: you could also have Eric Alexander put in a Mundorf silver cap, it's inexpensive, raises the bar even more.

Rebbi,I'll sit here and laugh my evil laugh joyously listening to my various Tekton speakers (M-Lore/Lore $650 and $1,000 respectively). I did refer you to that Tim Smith Wall of Sound review previously, more than once in your previous threads. I ...

Charles, I plan to do just that. I feel like the kid in school looking over your shoulder for good notes. I really trust your ears, Brownsfan, Rebbi, Jwm, too, amongst others. All your musical values are very similar. Looking forward to your conti... 
Has anyone tried the Coincident Dynamo 34SE
Thanks, and good luck.

Also, I'm positive the Tektons will match beautifully with any of the discussed amps; the AN Kit my wife builds will be paired with either the larger Lore, or perhaps we go all in on a newer Tekton model. As for my room it's likely time to say goo...
