spatial audio m3 or tekton perfect set
@gochurchgo, you might want to look into Tekton's offerings. While I haven't heard them personally, there is no shortage of positive reviews in their lineup.If used/semi vintage towers are in the running, consider a pair of KEF R107s. I've owned t... 
spatial audio m3 or tekton perfect set
@gochurchgo,most of my critical listening is jazz based, but that includes artists like Ron Carter. Bass heavy recordings in my collection include Jill Scott, Eryka Badu, Tool, and rap artists like Talib Kweli.I am running dual 15” sealed subs in ... 
Considering a new SACD Player
As an owner of the Yamaha, I support the recommendation of the CD-S2100. It's built at a much higher level than you'd expect from a large manufacturer. In support celander's point, this unit won't force you to buy 2 pieces of equipment (and associ... 
spatial audio m3 or tekton perfect set
Happy Spatial M3 Turbo S owner here. The open baffle design creates an an amazing sound stage. More info on what you're looking to achieve with the upgrade would help. If you have any specific questions on the M3, fire away. I feel these will be e... 
Advice about Tekton: replace ATC SCM20 SL with Tekton Electron?
I see the frequency range on the ATC doesn't go that low. Are you using a subwoofer?Not trying to direct you away from the Electron, but have you looked into the Spatial Audio line? They have distribution in Europe which may end up being less cost... 
Review on Tekton Design Perfect Set Speaker just went live on Six Moons.com
@Tea,I see from your review that the gloss piano black finish adds $600 to the price of the PS, but no mention of wood veneer options. Do you know if that is still an option on the Set? I'm guessing it's not cheap if offered,  but they would look ...

Good to see both Perfect Set threads back on track. I'd welcome further reviews from owners of the Perfect Set or Perfect Set 15. I feel one of these would do well in my office setup powered by my Latino ST-70. 
Review on Tekton Design Perfect Set Speaker just went live on Six Moons.com
Thanks for the report teajay, I'm interested in the Perfect Set 15 after learning about the original PS. I wonder why both are offered, other than a minimal difference in foot print? The frequency specs appear to be the same, but I would expect th...

Pass Labs AMP’s- What is the best Pass Amp Sound for You from past 10 years
I've owned a Pass Labs XA30.5 the last couple of years.I like it mainly because it got me off the amp merry go round and had great synergy with both my vintage KEF 107s and more recent Spatial Audio M3s. The only other amp that came close to the 3... 
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
Good God how I love that the Tekton posts draw out the sensitive haters on this board. If Tekton's only disruption in the industry is another 5000+ post thread on this forum, then I wish them all the luck in the world. 
Marantz 7T recommendation
@rbtstock, I own a 7T that I bought on a local craigslist that would not power up. I brought it to Mid-Hudson Hifi in Florida, NY. They did a full recap, and replaced the red power light with an LED.They did a fantastic job, and the unit has been ... 
Yamaha SACD players
I have the cd-s2100 and its been in my system a couple of years.Its a quality piece of gear all round. Well designed, build quality is excellent, and the sound quality is fantastic.  I'm surprised there is not more buzz around these units. I think... 
Tekton OB Sigmas
Lula, I own the M3 Turbo S (purchased in August with their 60 day in home trial). The risk free trial is what pushed me to go for it. They are a great all round speaker but can be picky about placement (at least a couple feet from the front wall, ...
