Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions
My impressions are quite simply this.  Never in 35 years in this hobby have I averaged 10+ hours of listening to music a day with half of that time spent critically listening to them in the afternoon/evening hours each day. The array is extremely ... 
Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions
@david_ten I don't know how many have received the Encores per se. I only know that several people have placed orders already for their Encores.  With the longer lead times I would say it could be awhile before anyone chimes in with their opinion ... 
LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR
I concur with @bullitt5094. I am an extremely happy owner of the first pair of the Tekton Design Encores which run $8500 and are basically miniature versions of the Tekton Design Ulfberhts which is normally a $12500 speaker, but currently are only...

Decided to tweak out today and apply some minor digital room correction via ROON’s built-in Eq/DSP to alleviate any peaks in the speaker response caused by the room/speaker interaction. A steep Q pull down of about 5db around 42hz and 15k is all t...

@triumphtt02 - Congrats on ordering the Double Impacts! I’ve enjoyed mine thoroughly for the past year. Many hours of happy listening.@rpw The Encores are very new, so you may run into a dearth of people responding only because not many people hav...

@343mps  I can tell you that the first person who heard my Double Impacts bought them after hearing them.  He is ecstatic with them and texts me frequently to tell me how happy he is with them. I spent no effort advertising them except a brief men...

My audiophile friend, Johnny, bought my original Double Impacts texted me the following:Late last night I finally got my wife and daughter (Gregory's Mom) in for a listening session. My daughter, Christal, after the first song said "I feel like I ...

@craigl59 I was told by Eric that they were of German origin. I have no idea of the brand. He only expressed that they went down to 300hz, a full octave lower than the Double Impact's tweeters. As an aside... SO... I’m listening to a very high qua...

@grannyring Very well stated. The footprint of the Encores is 2" wider, 2" less deep, and about 6" taller than the Double Impacts. (13.25" x Depth 15.25" Width x 62" Height). My only gripe is the 175lb weight was a bit much for me, but with some h...

@corelli The 15 tweeter MTM is no joke. The higher quality tweeter drivers used in the Encore are very revealing and with 15 of them the vocals and instruments from the 300hz midrange all the way through the treble region is just effortless, incre...

@charles1dad Thanks, buddy! I'm so happy everything has come together so well.  Couldn't be more ecstatic.

@david_ten He should feel really good about this design. I decided I'm selling my Nords and just keeping my Diavolo tube amplifier.  Sucks because I really like the Nords for what they do on these speakers, but I really need to recoup some money t...

I'm listening a Blue Coast Recordings https://i.imgur.com/Ivt9WMF.pngNow I've heard the entire album a dozen times on my DIs, but what the Encores do with acoustic guitar solos is nothing short of amazing!  I'm in heaven.  I highly recommend that ...

@mlg Thanks for the kind words.  I like the way you think. I enjoyed having you over. It's great meeting enthusiastic audiophiles to gab a mile a minute with and also to listen to some tunes!  I look forward to seeing you Thursday to return the fa...
