Stereo Times review on the Tekton Design Encore Monitor


Hey GON members,

My review of the Tekton Design Monitor just was posted on the Stereo Times website. I made the Encore Monitor my 2024 budget speaker of the year. In the review I get into the details about the Encore's performance, which is superlative for a $3000 a pair of speakers, that retains the special quality of kick and aliveness in the Tekton Design house sound, but then adds a new sense of refinement in vivid tonality/timbres and overall musicality. Dare I say, a touch of the classic Sonus Faber charm back in the day when Franco Serblin still owned the company. Hope you enjoy the review and find it helpful in informing you about the Encore Monitor's performance.

Nice review--I am not in the market for new speakers, but if I were, I would make note of these ones.

Cheers,

 I don't have anything to say about the speakers or the review except :  How is something that big called a monitor? Looks like a floor stander to me ....

Meyer bluehorns are considered monitors, not to mention big TAD pro monitors, etc. It has nothing to do with size.

I accept as valid my post-deletion. Apologies! But what if we were on a wine forum and one poster repeatedly posted links to his wine publication in which he onlya touted the wines of a single producer who happened to be a good friend of his? 

Hey fsonicsmith,

I accept your apology. However, you again make a disingenuous statement regarding my history of threads on this forum. I have written professionally for three different websites. Yes, it is true that I refer GON members to my reviews for the details of what I'm informing them about. But your statement, "only touted the wines of a SINGLE producer" is completely and utterly false. I had not reviewed a Tekton Design speaker for close to five years and had many different companies speakers in for review during that time span. I know many people in the industry and have become friends with some of them. However, I never written a positive review or brought information on a product to the forum based on my relationships with the any manufacturer.
