Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp...

Brownsfan,
Can you characterize some of the differences between the Triumph Extremes and the De Capo's?
Thanks!

Mapman,
No, I've said all I am going to say about Tekton. It's a great speaker that will be overlooked by many. Too bad, go pay a few thousand more and good luck. Best.

Mik.

TEktons might well be the ticket. DEfinitely high value and a reasonable fit it would seem for most any case. Plus not much risk to try. I would consider those myself. On paper. the Coincident just seems to be designed specifically for the task at hand, which is a good omen for good performance at least up front, but there is more to it than that. One must listen to know. Does Coincident offer a home trial/satisfaction guarantee? That would certainly help.

I spoke with Israel Blume of Coincident. The Triumph Extreme is designed to have both extremely high sensitivity and extremely flat impedance across the entire frequency band. It is designed for SET, he told me.
There's no home trial. It's US $3000, delivered.

Reb, I think you have all the relevant info available to decide. Some more detailed impedance/phase info on specific Tektons would be useful but not needed to save some money perhaps. Or go with what seems best on paper for more. Or try something else. The balls in your court to decide at this point I think. What you have ain't so bad for now it seems so take your time.
