| Tekton Double Impacts Charles, I will defer to Jonathan on what he considers a ’significant’ movement from where he was with his Double Impacts to where he gets to with his Encores.For me, a cable loom change is greater than a component change because it is a system wi... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Reminds me of my Corporate Days. Leave a meeting to sign off on a sale, and the guys do their best to slip something by me. Tonight it was dinner for family! 😊I agree, it’s for Jonathan to decide. My reference point would be where he was with the ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Friendly (and delicious) wager with Charles and Jonathan. I'd love to hear back on @jcarcopo 's findings after a full two months of break in and time spent getting to know his Encore's intimately.He has already rolled in the Emission Labs 300b XLS... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @jcarcopo It's my understanding that El Diablo seduces with what you want to hear, in the now. Charles is the guy you got to be concerned with!!! 😂Truth be told, it's actually a joint effort to get to 5K with gusto. 😉 | |
| Tekton Double Impacts In @jcarcopo 's case, I believe it will be more about finding the correct balance (vs 'upgrading'). Break in was significant, and lengthy, with my SEs. If that holds to some degree with the Encores, as you say, time will tell.My point is general i... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @charles1dad Agreed. Agreed. And Agreed some more. : )I'm glad you brought up Break In. Important point. I believe it's also worth considering the following: As one (in this case @jcarcopo ) becomes intimately familiar with his Encores and how th... | |

| Pre and Amp Suggestions +1 on Sunny’s T+A recommendation. I replaced my Pass XP-20 and XA-30.8 (in my primary system) with the T+A PA 3100 HV. Despite doing so, I also support your looking into a Pass Amp / Integrated / Separates.Since it hasn’t been mentioned: the Vitus... | |
| TEKTON OWNERS @01svtl I encourage you to ask your question(s) directly over at Tekton Design. Eric will give you guidance about which models fit best within your budget and needs.Since you already have dual subs and a ’larger’ room, I’d look into scoring a pair... | |
| Seeking informed recommendations for power cables and interconnects @arturos73 Great opening post. Clearly laid out and full of information.@whart Provides a terrific summary and approach. Having recommendations as a guideline from those like @gdnrbob as a fellow Vandy owner and others who have similar equipment o... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @jcarcopo Thank you for sharing your impressions of the very first Encores and their response to amplification components. BTW, three posts in an effort to help out. Six more posts and you'll be on page 100. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @craigl59 @jcarcopo I'll be writing up a 'journey' review which will, among other things, shine a spotlight on why I chose solid state and more power for my system. I believe it will address some of the things you have been working on and trying ... |
