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.

@stephenurquhart Yes it's a custom color.  Eric will paint your Encores any automotive or specialty color you chose.  The high gloss finish is extra labor intensive and does normally cost $1000 more lately.  I'm not sure what current pricing is but expect to pay around $9000 or even a bit more.  Ask Eric for current pricing.

So $1,000 extra for high gloss and how much extra for a custom color?  Do you know what any of the colors look like without the high gloss?  Would they be like a flat finish?Thanks,Steve

@stephenurquhart there's no charge to pick any color you want. The high gloss is the up charge.  I've owned both double impacts in a flat finish and Encores in high gloss.  High gloss is worth it to me.

@jcarcopo can you mention other speakers you've heard that the encore compares favorably to? I really appreciate your insights but comparisons with actual models makes things very concrete to me.

Thanks!
