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.

Unfortunately, I only got to page 2 because of the derailment. I wanted to read a thread about this new line of speakers but it seems I am unable to do that, and it is because of a few people that insist on sharing their dislike for the company...not because they have heard this specific speaker or are even remotely interested in doing so.

I own a pair of DIs and really enjoy them. They make me want to experiment with tube amps and explore new avenues of sound. I looked forward to reading about these started by somebody who has lots of experience with this company’s speakers and others in a community who are interested.

 There is a popular company of cables, and I really can’t stand them. I own a pair of their cables, and they are okay, but I just don’t like the company, their marketing, or really anything about them. Because the cable industry is so huge with so many choices, it allows me to look elsewhere.

i don’t like them, SO I STAY OUT OF THE THREADS THAT FOCUS ON THAT COMPANY’S PRODUCTS. How hard is that for others to do the same with a speaker company they dislike?

I am not a fanboy, one of the sheeple, or whatever else you want to peg me as. I am an A-goner interested in reading about a product by people who care about it. Can you stay out of our way, please?

Well said. Hard to ignore the posters you are referring to, but I have finally learned how to do it. I am also rather interested in these speakers.  Great value certainly.

Thanks @facten, I was reading about Sophia tubes just the other day!@ dbass I tried the Sylvania bad boys today.Fired up the system and immediately relaxed into the music.Organic and smooth.A little too opaque though,sigh....I missed the detail.The journey continues.I'll PM you with anymore revelations since I am seriously derailing this thread now.

Thanks - and as well am curious about the Sophia Electric 6SN7s - if you take the leap please do update.  Perhaps I will start a separate thread on this.

I am following Tekton speakers for a while and it seems most ppl love them and some totally dislike them.
Has anyone heard the Be versions?
