Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions
@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 s... 
Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions
Well, I was told 175lbs. I can’t easily weigh them as I don’t own a scale, but I would simply contact Karma or Eric and ask the question. Maybe Eric altered the design to make them more affordable. As I recall they originally were $9000 with gloss...

Shucks, my comments were removed. Sense of humors are hard to come by in these trying times.

Yes, it's just speakers.  😂

@millercarbon.Well said sir!  Perfect!

@jaytor Perfectly stated, I wouldn't change one word!  👌

@canibefrank fine, then you owe me $8500 😂  
OMG, just removed my speaker grills and the sound just opened up to a new level!

@Listening99 Hmmm. I wouldn't say they are in your face or fatiguing whether powered by solid-state or SET Tube amplifiers. I will say they are very dynamic. Hell, if I'm being brutally honest, I may have a slight proclivity for a bit of forwardne...

Go either with the DIs upgraded, but I'd buy the larger Moabs for small increase in money over the DIs SE. They are huge speakers, but Eric will tell you regardless of their towering size they work fine in smaller listening rooms.  The DI SE has m... 
Point of diminishing return for a DAC
$2k for the Matrix XSabre Pro MQA DAC. Best measured performance on Audio Science Review out of 150 tested dacs.  
Forever speakers around $5000
Tekton Moabs - $4500 everyday price. Much more speaker than you'll ever get from any other manufacturer.  They are huge though! They won best sound of show a few months ago at whichever show that was. I think RMAF, but don't quote me. I own the En...

@Listening99 The DIs are very coherent and well integrated IMHO.  People have put them in rooms smaller than yours.  They have no glare or harshness in mids or highs. They will provide ample bass for your room size.  I can't speak to the Electrons...
