Stereo Times review on the Tekton Design Encore Monitor

Hey pbecker128,

Remember, I made the Encore Monitor my budget speaker of the year because of cost vs. performance ratio. The Encore speakers are $3000, the Arno 40 speakers are $15000. A much higher price does not allows equate a higher level of performance. However, in this case it does. The Arno 40 speakers are at a higher qualitative level in their performance than the Encore Monitors. For the details regarding the Arno’s performance read my review on them on Stereo Times. I made the Arno 40 speakers my "no cost consideration" reference speaker of the year.

Both the Encore Monitor speakers and the Arno 40 speakers are wonderful music makers, but are at vastly different price points.

Thank you for the review Terry. How would you compare them to the Arno 40 which you also have?

These are monitors? Why would anybody claim these are monitors? There are so many true monitors that have better midrange and tweeter setups like all the speakers using AMT units, for example all the borreson, raidho, ps audio, and others.

If you like the looks of Tekton, I’m sure you will like the looks of these. I’ll continue to us my amt driver or diamond tweeters with a true midrange driver.

I've been cryin hard at times when i listen to my recent Moab...It's a big monstrous looking speaker, but, it's kinda delicate, how the sound comes out of it...Forgot to lock the door last week and the spouse barged in on my moment of vulnerability... and she said..."the fk's going on here?" lol

....It's that midrange, i suppose dawg.

The reviewer is spot on and on target of how low of mass that group of speakers make in mid and high.momentum is mass x velocity  because they have such a low mass they are fast quick and responsive.high spl because there are so many.eric offers such a broad range of products.it is so good that one of the speaker manufactures across the pond has copied its design. While I don't have the encore I have it's big brother,moab and ulf.they are amoung the best bang for the buck enjoy the music stay healthy 

I have had several inquiries regarding what is the up charge for the stunning black gloss piano lacquer finish on the pair featured in the review. The cost for the upgrade is $500 for the pair of speakers.

Maybe some of the master-ers using Adam audio crap should set these up in mid-field... might eventually get a good recording out of some of these guys.

Teajay I still remember the room where the Encore monitor are place now. Where me and Mark heard the ps 12. I still have the ps 12. Mark sold his and bought Moab. If I did not buy my Borensen x1? I would go for the Encore monitors.Very good review , thank you hope will cross path at axpona 2025.

I have no idea how these speakers sound but the price given the driver costs is phenomenal.

If he made a simple 2 way speaker he could sell them each for $50.
