| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Thanks. I am just using the AVR as a DAC for my HDMI sources because most standalone DACs do not accept an HDMI source, and I don't use the multichannel or theater modes--just straight decoding in pure mode. For music I use a Chord Dave DAC.Whil... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions After waiting about 10 months, My Encores arrived earlier this month and I've been listening to them for the past two weeks. I had followed jcarpopo's excellent recommendation using a Pass Labs XA25 as a power amp (I was afraid of quickly getting... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Yup. I also asked him to make me a center channel SEAS Pendragon which may be taking him extra time since he doesn't make that model any more. | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Is charcoal black or dark grey? I ordered just basic black on 6/27. Oh well.Did yours come ported or not ported? | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions sid-hoff-frenchmanThanks for updating us that the Encores work well with the Aegirs in monoblock mode. That's good to know. Are you satisfied with the sound or do you have any pangs of amp-upgrade-itis yet?Can I ask when you received your Encor... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Thanks! I did join the group a few weeks ago. Useful--someone just posted answering a question in my mind that I had not asked (whether the Schiit Aegirs in monoblock mode would have any problems with the Encores--his experience so far was that ... | |

Almost 10 years ago when I went to an audiologist to get my hearing checked), the tests revealed that I have accelerated high frequency hearing loss starti... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @sid-hoff-frenchman My previous Tektons were the SEAS Pendragons. Back in 2013, I called Eric to inquire about trying out his Pendragon speakers which were getting a fair amount of rave press at the time for their "live" sound. I explained to E... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Thank you both. I'm going to wait to purchase the power amp until the Encores arrive which--given Eric's busy backlog--who knows when that will be--I placed my order at the end of June and he told me the lead time was 6-8 weeks but I remember fro... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Anyone have any experience with the Schiit Freya+ and Aegir for the Encores? I read in another thread that 2 Aegirs in monoblock mode was a good match for the Tekton Double Impacts, but I also hear that running the Aegirs in monoblock mode is not... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Thanks for the suggestions. I asked Eric for a recommendation for amps, and he also recommended Parasound. Looking at their amp line, I don't think I'd get enough of a bump-up from their lower priced amps relative to my Yamaha--I think I'd have ... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions I just ordered a pair of the Encores. I've owned a pair of the Tekton Seas Pendragons since 2013 and love them but was getting the upgrade bug so I called Eric to ask about the Encores and Moabs. Eric thought if I liked the full sound of the Sea... |
