@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.
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.

@sedond You might very well be right on the tweeters for the Moabs/Ulfs since I’ve no idea, but I always wanted to believe he used better tweeters in the DIs SE vs the standard DIs, but I may be totally wrong because my memory is not very good. I thought it was an eminence tweeter in the regular DIs? It’s been years since I sold my DIs. I always wonder what the premium price was for the SE and figured it was for better tweeters. Here are definitely the Encore tweeters, https://www.parts-express.com/wavecor-tw030wa13-30mm-textile-dome-neodymium-tweeter-with-heat-sink-a... |
