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.

@grannyring I hope your assertions pan out.  I could really use the money selling off my Nords, Benchmark DAC2 HGC, and even the Diavolo (even though I really don't want to give it up). At least the Luxman Amplifier switcher makes switching amplifiers a turn of 20amp rated heavy duty knob, so no cable swaps are needed.

@evolvist My room is smaller, only 16x14.5x9

@evolvist My room is 20 X 20 with a cathedral ceiling, but opens up in the back.

Hell, mine is only 13x12x8, but I have lots of acoustic treatment and the ability to move it around. *sigh*

@evolvist I'm pretty nearfield to my Encores and I love um.  If you liked the DIs, you're going to be ecstatic with the Encores. Read my prior posts for my listening impressions.

@jcarcopo  What's nearfield for you? Can you share your Encore positioning, distances, etc.? Thanks.
