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

@iwasgointo, I owned Legacy Focus 20/20s for a while, very good speaker. I'm not sure the Encore can give you more bass impact but they might go lower? With 14 tweeters crossing over at 300Hz I think you'll get more midrange and vocal detail and transparency vs the Focus. They both play loud w/o strain, but the Encores might be even more dynamically alive than the Focus. The Encores are more efficient allowing for more choices in low powered tube or SS amps. Why not call Eric and see if he has experience with Focus speakers, he could give you some valuable insight?

@iwasgointo Maybe you need the Ulfberhts? They feature dual 12" woofers vs the dual 11" woofers in the Encores, al beit it's a much taller, wider, and more expensive speaker.  I prefer the more slender and slightly less tall asthetics of the Encores in my room and find the bass to be very sastisfying. I agree the major gain to be had with the Encores is the MTM Array handling from 300hz to 20khz which makes them very beautiful, coherant, transparent, and electro-static like in the midrange and highs which are also very smooth and not harsh or bright at all. 

Any updates on Encores/Lyngdorf/Tube amps after further breaking-in and deep-listening sessions? ***heavy breathing***:)

@latebloomer I'm terribly sorry for not replying.  I must have unfollowed my own thread by mistake. LOL -  I currently only use the Lyngdorf and it's a very good sonic match with the Encores.  It's not analytical sounding at all.  Very neutral, slightly warm sounding like a very clean tube amp.  No harshness or grain whatsoever. I sold my Art Audio Diavolo SET amp if that tells you anything.  Mostly because I felt with room correction engaged 8wpc wasn't enough to handle 10db of compensation at 100hz due to a persistent (I tried moving the speakers to no avail) bass suck out in my room.  However, I have recently purchased some 50wpc 6C33C PSET Monoblocks from Lansing Audio yesterday and hope the added wattage can give me the holographic and palpable sound that SET amps are known for while allowing to still use the Room Perfect Room Correction to clean up the 40hz bass mode in my room which when not attenuated for creates a bit of congestion obscuring the midrange. 

Dear OP

Congratulation on getting  50wpc 6C33C PSET Monoblocks.

I was also tempted to participate in the auction but I have two excellent SET amp so I may not need one more.

It will be fun to drive Encore with 50W SET amp.
