| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @stereo5 Great, thanks for stopping by. Many people who have owned speakers costing many times the price of the Tektons, own Tektons. I am one of them. Reviewers have said as much as well, but I understand since you haven't heard them. I can o... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @sedond @whacky I always thought the woofers were simply placed on the bottom of Encores so that the treble tweeter height would be ideal. If he located the woofer and the midbass driver beneath it it push the entire array down considerably. Th... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions I've never heard the Ulfberhts, but I'm absolutely sure they have several pluses over the Encores. I pushed Eric to build me the Encores 2 years ago because I wanted a more room friendly and more asthetically proportioned speaker similar to the Ul... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @bourcier I've only oggled their website a few times. I was drawn to the 25th Anniversary Super Zen Triode 6wpc monoblocks (how could you not want a pair after reading that marketing material, 😁), but I fear atleast15wpc might be really the minim... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @cooThe Audio Mirrors @Sedond/Doug recommends are another high powered SET option as well. They're made in the USA at a very fair price. I've not heard them yet personally to offer any input on them delivering SET-like goosebumps and magic especia... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @coot Well, bass is subjective. I'm not a bass head to begin with. My Allnics provide ~10db of feedback and possesses ~10db damping to produce very tight, accurate, and even prodigious deep bass on thunderous deep house or on kodo drums for instan... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @coot Thanks for the kind words. I’ve never heard the Moabs, but I like to think to the Encores are special and believe Eric would mirror that sentiment as well. Regarding bi-amping: I’m not a fan of it, it’s really unnecessary with the Encores. W... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @charles1dad You could put me on a feeding tube and build a toilet into my recliner and I'd have little reason leave my new man cave, but I'm already clocking entirely too many hours listening to music as it is. With the quarantine in place/covid... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @jsoku Congratulations on going with the new Encores! I love mine very much. They are my forever speaker. Regarding powering them I'm probably not going to be much help. I run source direct from my Matrix Audio Sabre X Pro MQA DAC and power mine... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @2psyop Things may have changed since the price reduction. I always though the whole point of paying for DI SE was to get the upgraded scanspeak drivers, but please somone correct me if I am mistaken. I'd clarify concerns or questions with Karma ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @2psyop You can replace just the center or treble producing tweeter if need be. It's not cheap and may put you over budget. I'm not fond of beryllium drivers and the wrong person to recommend the upgrade. You could do the whole array possibly, bu... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @charles1dad Well, my best audiophile friend, Mike, already owned the autoformers and some Atmosphere OTL amplifiers and he runs with just 1 pair of tubes due to heat issues. He suggested I ask the designer, Kang Su, if I could run with 1 or 2 tu... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @david_ten I agree, I had been driving my Encores with 60wpc Allnic A6000 Quad Parallel 300bxls SET Monoblocks, but I found out I am also able run my amps with just one 300bxls tube each which produces just 15wpc per monoblock. This is plenty of p... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @2psyop Get the Moabs, I think personally it's a better value for your money and space. Just my 2 cents. I have the Encores, I love them very much, but the Moabs are a much better deal for under $5k when compared to the Double Impact SE. | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @chenzobat Thanks a lot! I'm glad it has been helpful. It means a lot to me. |
