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

Mr m
it wasn't one rogue reviewer. Tekton has stellar reviews from Positive Feedback, Stereo Times, Reichert of Stereophile, Steve Gutenberg, Steve Smith...and many other reviewers...mostly echo teajay, many of whom bought the speakers. Best, mikirob 

First, thank you teajay for your post alerting us on the Perfect.

Second, I have owned three different Tekton speakers, a mini monitor single driver, the Lores, plus Mini Lores. All were very good speakers that punched way beyond their price points. I have owned excellent expensive speakers as well as moderate priced speakers; both monitors and floor standers. I currently have DeVore 0/96 as well as Harbeth 5 SHL.

My amps and preamps have also been numerous and variety of types: Cary 280, Threshold, Forte 4, Pass, RM10, Golden Tube SE 40, plus Golden Tube 300B mono blocks that Salvatore holds in high esteem, Prima Luna, and much, much, more going way back...my current amps include: Leben CS600, Cary's 300B (older version, Dennis Had era) Coincident Dynamo, vintage Eico.

Due to teajay posts here I bought a MicrZOTL 2. His review spot on; honest reporting. I say again teajay, thanks for the heads up on the Tekton Perfect which I am seriously considering purchasing. Perhaps “Perfect” for my SET proclivities.

And finally, Eric Alexander treated me in a timely professional manner. Best mikirob 

Suggest monitors quash the several posters here slinging “black bile” at teajay and Eric Alexander presenting no facts or evidence; merely wanton heresay. What these d2girl, rotaries, kosst amojan, mission coonery are doing is slander and libel by legal definition as I believe was pointed out by steakster. Audiogon, you are ruining your own site by allowing folks to cast unwarranted bile against a respected reviewer and manufacturers. Best, mikirob 

Cleeds,
thanks for the heads up. 

teajay,
Another Coincident Dynamo SE question: my current main system is DeVore Orangutan 0/96 with Leben CS600. It is my intention to pair a Coincident Dynamo SE (also own LTA MZ2) with the PERFECT speakers, Border Patrol DAC in a 14x17x9 room as second system. Do you think this system, PERFECT, will compare favorably with the DeVore's?

teajay,
thank you for your response. I am likely going to pull the trigger on the PERFECT early next week after getting my wife on board. Pick color. I value your input. Best, mikirob 

Dcevans,
what tubes do you use with the Dynamo? Best,mikirob 

dcevans,
sorry I wasn't around yesterday to answer your tube questions. So, here goes: first, a question, do you have the most recent Dynamo or the original? I have owned both. The original Dynamo is a sweeter sounding amp though less robust in power supply. The original uses 5U4G rectification or equivalent and the newer model 5AR4/GZ34 or equivalent.

My original Dynamo SE sound best with Gold Lion KT-77s; they were compared to Psvane black 6CA7-Z (el34) which I used initially for about 6 months. Then I conducted a tube shootout. NOS Siemens el34, Tung-Sol el34s, New Mullard el34s and Gold Lion KT-77s. My results matched reviewer Steve Smith's results closely. Order of finish: KT-77s Psvane, Tung-Sol, Mullard, NOS Siemens.

My 6SL7 choice is either RCA Red base 5691 or NOS Sylvania 6SL7WGT. Rectifier tube best NOS GEC 5U4G, NOS Mullard CV378, RCA 5U4G or NOS Mullard 5AR4.

Along the way I modified my original Coincident Dynamo SE at the advice of Yazaki-San. Read about this gentleman on Jeff Day's Blog now on Positive-Feedback. Yazaki-san recommendations included strengthening the power supply, use of better capacitors, NOS resistors, rewire of internal wires with Old Western Electric tin-plated copper. 

You might consider contacting fellow Agon member grannyring for a loom of Dueland powecords, interconnects, speaker wire...all of which work great with the Coincident and my current Tekton speakers, Lore and Mini-Lore. I also use these wires with my DeVore Orangutan 0/96 Leben. Best, mikirob
