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.

I received a pair of Encores with a Be upgrade for the main tweeter about 6 weeks ago. I had a job change after they were ordered (more work, less money, but I am grateful to be working) so I have not had the time or energy to do a proper A/B versus a pair of Wilson Yvettes.  My preliminary review is that they present a taller and better defined soundstage than the Wilsons.  I listen primarily to classic rock and classical, and the bass response for rock is just better in the Tektons.  My other quick observation is that the Tekton's are better when I am not sitting in the primary listening position.
I do not have a wife, so the "big boxy look" does not matter. I got the high gloss Rosso Folgore upgrade and I think they look great
