I have now owned my Perfect Set 15's for a little over a year, I have them connected to a Decware SE84UFO amplifier and I have never been happier with any other set up I have ever heard or owned. It just seems to keep getting better each time I put another album on the table. I know how personal sound can be for each individual yet, the advice I would give to you, give these a try at some point just so you don't sell yourself short when looking for the perfect sound for your ears.

[@V1ralB1ack]

Same I got pendragons and want the moab and perfect set. I have a 300b but plan to buy Decware to pair with it as well. I love my tekton towers more than any other speaker Ive ever heard or tried

[@musicfreak21]

I’ve now seen every speaker video. We need more content!

[@TektonDesign]

Agreed!

[@_Chev_Chelios]

This is great info. It really should be converted to useful copy and made available on your site. With such a bewildering array of models and very little information shared about the ideal niche for each one makes decision-making practically impossible.

[@BicycleJoeTomasello]

It's called marketing, no matter the validity of your design you are still basically baffling people with bullshit so you got to float like a butterfly float and sting like a bee.

[@scchengmus]

Thanks for this review. Answered many of my Q’s between this and your DI’s.

[@audiorick841]

Thanks Eric learned a lot from this video. I am not an expert and I would’ve tended to go with the larger speaker for the larger amp and not the opposite. Makes a lot of sense once you explain it. 👍🏻

[@danashay]

Of all the speakers available today, I'm really feeling Tecton in my future. Time to retire my beloved Cornwalls. Really having no trouble with this decision, and I haven't even listened to them yet! Very exciting!!

[@kohnfutner9637]

Glad I saw your channel, Eric. I want a set of tektons at some point, but I want to understand which is best for me. These videos are helping me understand.

[@cp070476]

The power of Cerwin Vega and the sound of Audiophile... Perfect!

[@ralphfurley123]

Mr. Alexander, thank you so much for providing additional information on these speakers!!! Much appreciated!!! Just a suggestion, perhaps all the info that you are providing in this video should also be available on the Tekton website! It would certainly help those of us interested in learning more about the speakers you build! Thanks again for your time!!! ☮️🖖🏽

[@geoffreylacher8891]

Thanks for these videos Eric... keep 'em coming!

[@thesupergamermario3701]

Eric please make new videos on your speakers. We love them.

[@drc97086]

I am using a 6.5 watt SET amp with my new pair of OB Sigmas, and it sounds very nice, and plenty of volume.

[@cosmonaut9942]

Great info. I've had my eye on the SET 15 for awhile. I'm using a Decware 2 watt per channel amp into an Enzo 2.7 with great results but the Enzos are going into another room.

[@ggc7318]

Great information. Without this information I would have bought the wrong gears.

[@grandpixel]

what about the perfect set 2-10 and how does the 2-10 compare to the ENZO XL with the 7-tweeter array option?

[@anjovandijk9797]

any recommendations for 200 + watts solid state listeners

[@ryanamendt8363]

Buy anything else. This guy is a fraud and maniac.

[@alexanderstefanov6474]

Hi Eric, could the 15 be ordered as a 4ohm for higher powered tube amps like the Primaluna dialogue premium HP?

[@thesupergamermario3701]

Great video. Eric please make a video on you Enzo XLs.

[@Cup10cake1]

Eric, why is the 15 inch set version so much better for small wattage amps than the 12 inch version? Is the 2 db difference in sensitivity that demonstrative in low wattage situations or is it more than that? Thank you for the education.

[@isaacc7]

I’m willing to bet that the 15” woofer is under-damped compared to a “regular” speaker. The idea is that if your amplifier doesn’t have much of a damping factor, SET amps are notorious for this, you need a woofer that is easier to move. The drawback is that if you put a more powerful amp on an under-damped woofer the bass gets out of hand. So the 12” is high sensitivity but with a more typical woofer dampening whereas the 15” has both high sensitivity and a lower amount of dampening on the woofer so you can use tiny amps.

[@philrob4468]

im thinkin one of these might be a good match for my 25w class a amp... or do you think on a class a amp like my musical fidelity a1 it can power something more like the double impact

[@philbarone4603]

Am waiting for my Double Impacts to arrive so we’ll see. Pairing them with a Prima Luna 300. The service wasn’t great though.

[@russelhaxby6194]

I think that if I ever hear the Perfect SET 12, it will be the speaker I want. I wonder how it does with Schiit's 20 WPC class A amp.

[@jamescease4280]

I'll bet that would be a great match.

[@thefixxer72]

Thank you sir. I love getting info from the source. Can you make a video for the Electron and the differences from the SE? Great work man, love your speakers.

[@4thewin759]

Love these videos. Keep them up.

[@moon-light1354]

How do these compare to the KLIPSCH CORNWALL IV or similar Klipsch...

[@thewiseguy3529]

These are way better than Klipsch from what I understand. Nobody had made speakers like this before. This brand is the closest thing you can get to concert speakers with out spending $500,000 on actual concert speaker.

[@artsabound7627]

great product idea with the popularity of low watt tube amps ..

[@robertdebellefeuille245]

I am in Quebec Canada would like to listen to the double impact before buying

[@TheNLHAZE]

This guy is not some one you want to deal with I'll call you later tonight.

[@TheNLHAZE]

Do yourself a favor stay away from the guy friendly advice

[@seanb3303]

Thanks for video. Would be cool if you designed an omni that was easy to drive. Transmission line design.

[@OSQQ123]

You guys should start selling in Europe. I really really want to have one of your speakers, but it is simply not possible here in Europe

[@JesseShotland]

thank for the videos! do one on the OB sigma next please!

[@danmar007]

Before watching this video the Tekton I knew is a tool company!

[@stevengagnon4777]

I discovered that tool company today

[@NeilBlanchard]

I can vouch for a tweeter that gets down into the midrange - I have Linaeum LT1000 speakers, and the TLS tweeter is crossed at 440Hz - it is a revelation. The tweeter is about 94-95dB efficient, but with the 8" woofer (that is in a transmission line cabinet) being only ~90dB, the speaker is not nearly as efficient as yours.

[@porkchopspapi5757]

I listened to linaeum at Raido Shack on their line of speakers in the 1970's. Dark & no details.

[@NeilBlanchard]

@@porkchopspapi5757 1970's? Um, they weren't made until the 1990's ...

Very cool!

[@dougg1075]

You had me at “ too much bass”.

[@fabiowarner7796]

They do work with 100+ watt amps as well right? Or will they sound inferior to when you use a tube amp

[@Miki-mf5uj]

My favorite speakers! Is delivery to Serbia possible? Thanks!

[@TektonDesign]

Sure. We can ship to you.

Is he saying my 300 watts @ 8 ohms crown Xls 1500 would not be a good fit for this speaker?

I wish they would reply to you! That is my question!

Mine too

The Perfect SET 12 inch... www.tektondesign.com/the-perfect-set.html

[@dougg1075]

Not at all is that what he is saying

[@thewiseguy3529]

I think a 4 ohm amp is ideal. I don't know for sure. But these speakers require serious power. They will fry amps if the amp os not equipped to power them.

[@danashay]

Oh Bravo!! Waaaannt!! Make more vids please!😎

[@griffincui]

Finally, the 15 can replace my Tannoy Turnberry SE.

[@toddclarke1580]

Is Perfect SET 12 now called just "Perfect SET" ?

[@poppawasarollinstoneboom9396]

I got 200watts per channel what the he’ll is he talking about lol I’m new to this stuff

[@johnsweda2999]

Why don't you bevel the edges about 2.5 inches across fading off just below the side of the bottom mid-range tweeters. I hear people say it's hard for your speakers to disappear and why have so much baffle not good. Who makes the drivers for your speakers. Why don't you suffer from combi problems Or do you?

[@gilaadklein9386]

Watch the video on the DI speakers and you'll have your answers.

[@mariancol2428]

A few seconds of music please, test ..... I connected a DAC to the laptop, I can tell ...

[@MRB1910]

Why don’t you allow your potential buyers to comment on your videos any longer? Are you hiding from something? Did your feelings get hurt?

[@huckfin1100]

I don't get it at all ! Why would someone but speakers that big and nice just to 8 watts through them

[@huckfin1100]

@Jason Reyes I guess !

[@huckfin1100]

@Jason Reyes Hope it turns out for ya, ! All I have is an old JVC 350 WATT EQ with a 150 w ONKYO RECEIVER with a pair of 100w Polk audio floor speakers had all for at least 20 years and still using, that's all I need !

[@huckfin1100]

@Jason Reyes Believe or not but I shop pawn shops sometimes you can walk out of one with a smile, that's how I got some parts of my system, also on a budget here.

[@sarahsablok]

How do these compare to Klipsch Cornwall iv ?

[@ryanamendt8363]

Klipsch won't sue you if you don't like the speaker.
