| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions The DIs were good, great even at times. But I don't miss them now that I have the Encores. | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @vsedakov I had upgraded DIs for a year and a half. They were really enjoyable speakers. I definitely prefer the Encores. Compared to the DIs, the Encores are fuller, wider and taller. Bass is significantly deeper as well. The Encores are mellower... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions I haven't heard Moabs, but large-scale classical music sounds fantastic on my Encores. | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @protoss71 My understanding is that they had a few of the front ported Encore frames already built and I imagine they wanted to use them, but still offer the new non front-ported sound, hence the foam plugs. If they are removable that gives you so... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Enjoy! In my experience they definitely went through significant changes over the first 200 hrs. I think they still are continuing to evolve slightly at this point. Throughout the break-in period at different times different frequencies would eith... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @charles1dad I will certainly post my impressions and comparisons. The Don Sachs preamp will be arriving far before the amp (still in the queue, no ship date yet), so I will have time for it to settle before adding his KT-88 amp to the mix. Honest... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Charcoal is dark gray. Mine are the newly redesigned front port-less Encores. Eric said he made the change recently for all Encores going forward. They still have the standard rear ports though. Since you ordered before me then I would guess that ... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @jsoku I ordered them on 7/21 and received them on 8/21. I got lucky with the speed. I hadn't expected them for at least another month, if not two or three. Maybe they got a cancellation for charcoal Encores and I was next on the list with those s... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @jcarcopo That's good to know. I guess then the Aegirs are performing on par with similarly powered amps. I wonder if the protection is being triggered by impedance dips, or wattage needs? | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Yes, I can report that the monoblock Aegirs have powered the Encores without any problem, until today. I was playing a the Taiko group Kodo's album Ibuki and had the volume up to about 85-90 DB. This is a really bass-frequency-heavy album, and the... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @jcarcopo I'm curious - why not use both bottom and top binding posts?Also, how do the resistor pots work? | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @jcarcopo If my Aegirs don't end up working with the Encores I'm trying to develop a working list of other amps to consider. I have heard many good things about the XA25. I know the Tektons can be driven without much power, but I'm curious to hear... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @jsoku I will certainly post about how the Aegirs work with the Encores. I ordered about two weeks after you, but as you say the timing could go any number of ways. I'm curious how you decided to go with Encores. You mention you have previously ha... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @jsoku I have been using a Freya + with monoblock Aegirs for a year now without any problem with my DIs. I’ve seen people posting that they have the same setup with Moabs without issue too. I just ordered Encores, so we’ll see if the Aegir monoblo... |
