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

@sedond The link I provided was provided from a friend who also owns the Encores who had taken his tweeter array apart because he's crazy. (He even sent me a ghastly picture with all them tweeters hanging out, I felt sorry for the array...lol).  He sent me 2 links (one was the wrong tweeter) and I probably copied the wrong url.

@whacky, I would measure for you, but I can't locate my tape measure at this moment. I'm also dealing with cleaning up the aftermath of a nearby lightning strike which took out my modem, switch, router, Roon Server, and UPS that I know of. I have the Isoacoustic Gaia Titan Theia (they were a demo pair and cost about what the Gaia I cost and totally overkill, but maybe I'll buy the 1812 one day, lol!) I'm always in a reclined position when listening and therefore seated lower and everything sounds great to me so I wouldn't worry too much about the treble tweeter height being a tad higher. If I find the tape measure I will let you know, I misplaced it when I installed room treatments a couple of months ago and I just need to clear my mind and retrace my steps. :-)

@jcarcopo,

I checked out your system and it is a very well thought out and put together system.  The Art Audio tube amp is really something special. I heard their amps at an audio show and if I was to buy a tube Integrated, Art Audio would be on my very short list.  

@stereo5 Thanks for kind words. My apologies for any misunderstanding on my part prior, I wasn't trying to be dismissive and I didn't know you had heard the Pendragons or had a negative experience. I only can speak to the Double Impacts and the Encores and they fit the bill for what I looking for in a speaker sonically (not so much asthetically, but with the Spanish Tile high gloss finish, I'm pretty please with how they turned out).  They are very coherent and the midrange of that array is quite spectacular imho. 
Unfortunately, my system setup is a bit out of date on Audiogon. I now have some Allnic A6000 monoblocks that use 4x 300bxls tubes in a parallel SET configuration and produce 60wpc.  I also have a Pass Labs Xa25 I'm really enjoying that I recently purchased. You can't go wrong with Art Audio though for sound quality, I've owned two of them over the years. I just wanted more power so I moved up to the Allnics. 

I have heard Allnic equipment and again, you have excellent taste. Enjoy your system. 

Anyone have any experience with the Schiit Freya+ and Aegir for the Encores?  I read in another thread that 2 Aegirs in monoblock mode was a good match for the Tekton Double Impacts, but I also hear that running the Aegirs in monoblock mode is not a good match for 4 ohm speakers and can trip up the protection circuit on the Aegirs.
Jcarcopo, do you like the XA25 with the Encores?  I am thinking about the X25 too after your previous reply to my original question about power amps, but $4,900 is a big jump from the $1,600 for the Schiits (or $2,400 for 2 Schiit Aegirs and a Freya+), and with the XA25 I can't go all balanced with the XA25 using the balanced out from my Chord Dave.
