Amps for driving Tekton Electron SE


Hi all,

Anyone have experience mating amps to Tekton Electron speakers, or other similar Tekton speakers (Double Impact being probably the closest analogue)? I ordered a 4 ohm version and the Tekton site says they are 99db sensitive (I doubt it). The speakers haven't arrived yet (6-8 week delivery time!). I presently have a pretty low powered and inexpensive 300b amp (7.6 watts per channel). 

What do folks recommend for amps? I'm curious about First Watt amps and Decware amps, but also just curious.

Thanks!
Josh

Hi MillerC! Thanks for the suggestions. Will check out the Raven. 

Electron SE and Perfect SET 15 are rated at more or less the same sensitivity on Tekton's site. I decided to go for the Electrons as they seem a bit closer to the Double Impacts that are too tall for my room, but have a similar compliment of drivers and a good review. Wasn't blown away by Steve Guttenberg's review of the Perfect Set 2 10 either. So will see. 

The 300b amp I have was pretty inexpensive and might switch it out at some point as it's a bit grainy. But I haven't yet tried it with upgraded tubes. Here is a review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dExnR7CJMSo
