Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"

Hey roadwarrior75,

Eric designed this speaker for lovers of SET amplifiers. As I said in different posts on this thread, the Prefect Set sounds wonderful with high current/wattage solid state amplifiers.  I just happened to have my Threshold S/350e in the system driving the Perfect Set speakers when my guests came over to hear them.  Bon and Mark agreed with my take on them as being terrific performers.

However, I have spent hours listening to them being driven with the Triode Lab 2A3 SET amplifier and find them equally superlative and wonderful to listen to on all types of music.  There is no difficulties with volume levels, overall dynamics, and bass extension/control when using this 3.5 watt amplifier at all.  On my Ulf's when I tried tube amplifiers they did alright on them, but this much bigger speaker that dips below 4 ohms loves high current solid state amplifiers to reach their true potential. 

So, out of all the Tekton speakers the Perfect Set "sings" with SET 'flea watt" amplifiers beautifully and also can be driven with high power solid state amplifiers wonderfully.  It just happened when Bon and Mark came over I had the 350e in the system instead of the 2A3 SET amplifier.

Thank you Bon, Mark, and David for your kind words towards me.  You are always welcome to come visit, you guys are great guests, indeed! 

I forgot to mention that I have finally tried the LTA Micro-ZOTL  as a integrated amplifier (around 1 watt) on the Perfect Set and it sounded terrific.  Using a 6SN7 as a power tube in the ZOTL circuit has its own virtues such as tonal purity, see through transparency, and lighting quick speed that you hear clearly through the Perfect Set speaker.  For my personal taste I still prefer the LTA Micro-ZOTL as a preamplifier driving the Triode Lab 2A3 amplifier because I get more "meat on the bones" imaging and the overall intensity of timbres/colors goes up a bit.  Even with 1 watt I had no difficulties with volume levels/attenuation or roll off of the bottom end at all.

Nice to see this thread has solidified in a more civil direction.  Informative and educational.  

I suspect the PS speakers are not dissimilar to other Tekton speakers--revealing of what is upstream.  Which means they are capable of showing the merits of both tubed and SS gear.  Very cool.  You could pair these with Marantz budget gear and have a KILLER value, and also go in the other direction of high end tubed amplification and be rewarded yet again.

Wonder what David will end up with.

I have a pair of Perfect SET speakers, serial #8.  I went back and forth with Eric in email about which speakers to get with my amp..   and recommended these.  I did the usual search online for reviews, but couldn't find any.  I just decided to take a chance....

They took a bit to break in, but WOW.   I'm not mr. audiophile, just know that it sounds right to me.   

I'm just a happy customer. 

FYI, for those of you into Linear Tube Audio amplification: the microZOTL MZ3 is now available.
