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

Jcarcopo,
Based on the description of you by fetguy you and I are cut from the same cloth. If you aren’t moved by and engaged with the music and there’s little or no emotional connection then the components in use are inadequate. People listen to music for pure enjoyment whatever their taste/ music niche may be. The experience shouldn’t be analogous to a sterile/analytical lab exercise IMO.

@charles1dad I couldn’t agree more buddy! I think some people chase hyper-detail or exaggerated resolution, and they try too hard and ultimately fail to recreate the original recorded event in their listening space. I’d rather experience an emotional event in my listening room that although may not be as detailed or perfectly accurate, but nonetheless is emotionally satisfying; an event that makes me forget I’m listening to a recording. I don’t want a merely close reproduction, I want to close my eyes and be there in the moment deceived into thinking there is no equipment or speakers. I don’t go for a perfect reproduction, it’s still a reproduction and you’ll be chasing that dragon forever. I try to create an organically real and palpable event in my listening space. Having said all that, damn if the arrays on the Encores aren’t able to do amazing detail retrieval and in such an effortless way as to appear completely natural and audibly satisfying with no fatigue. It’s just so perfectly done.

Charles and jcarcopo,
Amen to everything that both of you said, and well said too!

@roxy54 Thanks for the kind words! :-) 

Hi Roxy54,
Having read many of your Audiogon posts over the years I'd conclude that you are cut froth same cloth as jcarcopo  and I. You relish the beauty of music and view it as a gift to mankind. What a "strange" coincidence that  we all happen to own and enjoy 8 watt  300b SET amplifiers 😀😀.
