How far do you sit from the Encores?
How far do you sit from the Encores?
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... |
@kingdeezie Well, I'm reclined at 10'. I'm at ~8' unreclined which is more intimate and revealing. The soundstage of course shrinks a bit though. 6' is pushing it, but not undoable. These aren't exactly bookshelves 😁, but maybe I'd call and ask Eric for advice. He might suggest a different speaker. See, it really depends on how you like to listen IMHO, I have a friend who likes to listen more nearfield to his towers. He likes the effect. Are you at 6' by choice or because you have no choice? 😁 |
