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.

I bought the original Lore's about 3 or years ago . I was shocked at what they could do with 17 wpc of triode power . Fast forward to last year ….bought a pair of Enzo 2.7's . They are amazing with the First Watt F6 , Cary SLP-05 and Ayon 2S. I really don't get the Tekton bashing on here , the bashers sound like they got their feelings hurt somehow. I have spoken with Eric 5 or 6 times now and he always is friendly and delivers what he says he will , he even sent me the grilles ( lol ) .  I was thinking of trying a pair of the Perfect Set's to pair with my Bottlehead 300b amps , however , I might build their Jager speaker instead . Cheers .
