Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions
@sedond I mistakenly stated that my listening position is higher than the tweeter, it is lower in fact. Silly me. Maybe the Rick Simpson Oil is clouding the clarity of my verbosity. Lol.

I do have a niggle on the encores, however. I wish the tweeter was lower.  My listening position is higher than the tweeter, causing decreased HF. If the Encore was set up like the Moab/Ulfberht, each woofer at opposite ends of the speaker, it wou...

@jsoku.  Congrats on your new encores! I have been digging mine.  They took forever to break in. As Millercarbon stated "My suggestion would be to ditch separates, and all the extra multi-channel stuff". I couldn't agree more.  Just a kick ass 2 c...

@vsedakov,Never used the resistor pots. Don’t know how to use them anyway. No information from manufacturer on how to use them received. I do not have any need to change the mid to high frequency. Low frequency, however, is different. I have a sma...

"When I ordered I asked about this. Eric said that the woofers have remained the same since the beginning. The entire woofer is 11" but the inner part is closer to 10. He said he got tired of people saying "Hey that's not 11 inches!" so he changed...

The Encores are breaking in progressively. First the treble was emphasized, then after some serious electronica, the bass loosened up. Then the mids and highs were recessed, now the upper mids are recessed.  I'm thinking the polycell array needs t...

Nice to know the resistor pots are there if I need them. I will call Tekton for details if I feel the need to use them. Burning in going ok. Initially edgy treble and recessed bass, now boomy, one note bass and recessed highs, mids are clearing gr...

@davidantonio I just bought a pair of Tekton Encores for my 11x17 room. Breaking them in now. Eric is very certain about speakers not overloading rooms. Although not fully broken in yet, I don't feel the bass is overloading the room. I would go fo...

@jafant Not sure what I’m doing with the Thiels. They are great for speech intelligibility, may put them in my 2nd HT system. I was using Audioquest no frills cables, got them on sale. They are soft sounding. I have MIT terminator 2’s and MIT Biwi...

I just bought a pair of Tekton Encores (4ohm) to replace my 20 yo Thiel 2.3’s with upgraded coax drivers (the upgrades made all the difference in the world).   Breaking in the Encores now. Adjusted for inflation the prices is about the same. The T... 
Thoughts on my speaker selection?
Ever think about Tekton? Great reviews. Made in USA. Great price. Long wait time.

What’s is the deal with no owners manual? I don’t know how to use the jacks to add resistors to alter the sound. No paper manual is no prob, but why not emailme a digital manual?

Liking the encores so far. I did read that the newer encores no longer have the front mid bass ports in earlier posts. Mine came with the ports, but with foam plugs in each of them. I found that strange. Why have the ports if you are going to plug...
