Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions

I am the very happy owner of the first pair of New Tekton Design Encores and I thought I would create this thread to answer any questions anyone might have regarding the Encore speakers, room considerations, and associated equipment. If you’ve order your pair already, please chime in. I really want to hear what other people’s experience are with these unbelievable speakers.

I drive my Encores with both an Art Audio Diavolo SET 300b Tube Amplifier with 8wpc and I switch in my 700w Nord One-Up SE Monoblocks for non-critical listening and some big pieces of music that benefit from the extra power.

Ordered a Lyngdorf TDAI 3400 today!  Hope it lives up to the hype.

@jcarcopo  I didn't get a chance to play much with the 3400 yet and didn't do any "room perfect" experimenting but I have to tell you that right after I put it in my system and replaced my Pass XA25 I already heard some really good things happening.  I will be putting my Pass up for sale... Great amp as it is it's not a match for the 3400 (in my system and in my room).

@waltersalas  My Encores should be arriving soon and I will share my impressions after a while.  The problem for me will be getting the speakers and the new amp more or less at the same time.
