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.

Has anyone noticed that the weight of the Encore published by Tekton has dropped from 175lbs to 145lbs?  Thirty pounds per speaker is an enormous amount. Where did all of that weight go?  
Hello all...I'm new to the group.  Was very interested in the Encores.  Did notice the discrepancy between the 145 lbs on the Tekton Design website and the 175 lbs that others quote.  Are there reviews other than stereotimes?  Would be interested in seeing some measurements.  Thanks!
Well, I was told 175lbs. I can’t easily weigh them as I don’t own a scale, but I would simply contact Karma or Eric and ask the question. Maybe Eric altered the design to make them more affordable. As I recall they originally were $9000 with gloss finish, at the time. $9200 with grills. At times they are on sale for as low as $7k for non-gloss finishes. Great speaker!
A FOREVER SPEAKER. 


chenzobat, Straight from Eric the Encores weigh 145 lbs. Perhaps the 175 figure is with packing or an error.
