Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp...

It is harder to achieve quality on a larger scale than a small one no doubt.

My system is designed around the speakers which require quality on a somewhat larger scale. I've found a good modern class d amp to be a game changer in regards to accomplishing that. It is very efficient and very green. I cant find a fault with the performance. What it sounds like depends mostly on what it is fed.

Brownsfan has the Triumph Extreme MK II and the De Capo along with an 8 watt SET. He says the Coincident Triumph is superb in his system. He is a very astute listener with much insight and experience .

Bill,
"Massive quality" I like that!

Charles and Rebbi, I love the triumph extreme IIs driven by the 300b Frankensteins. They are very different speakers than the deCapos. Rebbi loves his deCapos. The coincident speakers may not be to his liking. I think buying used or with an in home addition is the way to go.

Brownsfan, I believe, has both the DeCapos (Rebbi's) model as well as the Coincident Triumph, hopefully he chimes in and sheds some light from personal experience.

Mapman, the Tektons have no weird impedance dips, like dropping to 2ohms. It remains stable, never less than 6ohms. Did you read any of the reviews? Or my first-hand comments about the Tektons?

Tektons certainly don't enjoy ad-driven hype or Polo like labels; they just perform, and perform well with SS or low-SET.
