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.

@charles1dad You're comments are never lost on me! I'm learning how to take the high road! 
I wish all it was allways an upgrade when we dump gear and get newer "better" gear. We all have the experience of it being a downward, or merely lateral, move in musical enjoyment.
You are such an inflammatory dickhead @fetguy! If I didn't know and love you, I would hate you! 
One case comes to mind of Jcarcopo. He ditched a cheap two way speaker , and his first SET amp,  and bought a pair of Anylsis Omega planar/ribbon loud speakers.
It took him 11 years to get back to the enjoyment he HAD with the cheaper setup, and two more years to get where he is now.
