Stereo Times review on the Tekton Design Encore Monitor

I've been cryin hard at times when i listen to my recent Moab...It's a big monstrous looking speaker, but, it's kinda delicate, how the sound comes out of it...Forgot to lock the door last week and the spouse barged in on my moment of vulnerability... and she said..."the fk's going on here?" lol

....It's that midrange, i suppose dawg.

These are monitors? Why would anybody claim these are monitors? There are so many true monitors that have better midrange and tweeter setups like all the speakers using AMT units, for example all the borreson, raidho, ps audio, and others.

If you like the looks of Tekton, I’m sure you will like the looks of these. I’ll continue to us my amt driver or diamond tweeters with a true midrange driver.

Thank you for the review Terry. How would you compare them to the Arno 40 which you also have?

Hey pbecker128,

Remember, I made the Encore Monitor my budget speaker of the year because of cost vs. performance ratio. The Encore speakers are $3000, the Arno 40 speakers are $15000. A much higher price does not allows equate a higher level of performance. However, in this case it does. The Arno 40 speakers are at a higher qualitative level in their performance than the Encore Monitors. For the details regarding the Arno’s performance read my review on them on Stereo Times. I made the Arno 40 speakers my "no cost consideration" reference speaker of the year.

Both the Encore Monitor speakers and the Arno 40 speakers are wonderful music makers, but are at vastly different price points.

Thanks @teajay ... great review!
