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

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

@gimmeroc Thanks for sharing your preliminary thoughts about your experience with the Encores compared to the Wilson's.  I'm glad to hear the Encores are an improvement over the Yvettes. 

 I love my Encores very much and consider them my forever speaker.  I find their superb coherence lends to their great imaging, soundstage, and revealing inner detail.  I just moved my entire system to a bigger dedicated room and I can't wait to get my 18 ATS acoustic sound treatments in about a week to tame the slap echo by reducing the decay.

It sounds good now, but soon they should sound spectacular.

Again, thanks for sharing. 

@klh007 , I have noticed the difference in the woofer surrounds between the Encores and the Moabs...closely looking at pics. Was thinking that it had a more refined driver.  Do you currently own the Encores?  Appreciate the description.  Certainly looking for everything you described.

@gimmeroc, thanks for the comparison with the Wilsons.  I never considered the Be upgrade for the main tweeter...will look into it.  I share the same musical tastes and occasionally listen to opera.

Currently I have Focal 936 Arias, a BAT VK-75SE amp and just upgraded to the BAT VK-33SE preamp.  The Focals are very good... mids are well defined and clean however they don't present the sound stage that I'm looking for.  And at times the speaker can be fatiguing.  However, the system is setup in a finished basement in need of room treatment.  

@jcarcopo, thanks for this forum!!  It is my best source of information on the Encores.

@chenzobat Thanks a lot! I'm glad it has been helpful. It means a lot to me. 

@chenzobat, The woofer in the Encores is a pricy one from SB Acoustics.
