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

Welcome to Tekton @protoss71. I was simply told to disregard these things.   I will say, they sound awesome though. 

@protoss71 My understanding is that they had a few of the front ported Encore frames already built and I imagine they wanted to use them, but still offer the new non front-ported sound, hence the foam plugs. If they are removable that gives you some options to at least play with porting and unporting them to see which you prefer. 
Regarding the upper quad resistor posts, I asked Eric about them. He said if you use some resistors you basically can turn down the tweeter. He said with such expensive speakers if people wanted a tweak, installing those resistors allowed him to offer some tweaks from a distance. If you feel it is too bright and want to turn down the tweeter, you would need to reach out to them to send you some resistors. I haven’t heard of anyone yet using them. But you never know, you might have a super bright amp or room or something.

Out of general curiosity though, I wonder why the Encores have four resistor posts each, while it looks like the Ulfberhts only have two. 

The front vents were removed a few months back and Encores with front vents come with plugs. 

The Encore has two resistor pots. One for midrange array and one for the tweeter. It makes it a bit more versatile. I'm not aware of anyone actually using the resistor pots.

  

Nice to know the resistor pots are there if I need them. I will call Tekton for details if I feel the need to use them. Burning in going ok. Initially edgy treble and recessed bass, now boomy, one note bass and recessed highs, mids are clearing gradually. No “live” feel yet. Although, that seems to be a trait of the Moab’s more then the encores from what I have read. No Thiel “edge” so far, the reason i purchased a different brand from my 2.3’s.  

@protoss71 How is your warming up going? Judging by the time, major changes should have already occurred.
