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.

@jcarcopo,

Touchy, aren’t we?  All I said was I bet they compare to my speakers, I do not care who gives up expensive Speakers for the Tektons.  I owned a pair of Pendragons 5 years ago, they sounded like crap and Eric gave me a hard time when I wanted to return them after owning them for 10 days. They were also very cheaply made and the shipping cartons were a joke as both new speakers arrived damaged with no apparent marks on the shipping cartons.  My made in China speakers had no problems.

Editing out of respect for the topic, and to keep it on track.

@stereo5 Touchy? I'm not sure what you read that you took the wrong way, but I think you're reading entirely too much into my reply. I would ask you to please keep politics out of the thread, it's off topic, serves no purpose, and just causes problems.
