Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions

Hello fetguy,
I appreciate your polite and well reasoned explanation to beme54. With regard to audio it is imperative to view the entire picture rather than focus on a few measurements in isolation. I don’t doubt jcarcopo’s listening impressions or his great success using an 8 watt amplifier.

I haven’t heard the very new (model) Tekton Encores. I have heard the Double Impact (DI) driven beautifully by the Coincident Frankenstein (8 watt SET) and the DI SE version driven beautifully by the Aric Audio 8 watt SET.

Measurements are what they are, however actually listening and directly interacting with an audio product is far more meaningful and definitive.
Jcarcopo I celebrate your deep happiness with the Encores.

@charles1dad Thanks for the kind comments. I guess I could have been nicer myself, but I'm not as centered as you always are.  I need to work on that. 😂

@fetguy  Thanks for the informative and helpful comments my old friend.

Charles 1 dad, I know how jcarcopo hears, he is a gestalt guy, how the over all musical picture is drawn. Not so much about "is there a peak here, or does the image shift .01 degree if I move my head here", but more of a "how is the music I am hearing is affecting me, is it moving me, how is my soul being massaged". So if he says he is being moved by the music, I know the speaker is doing many many things right.
I am the "detail" guy, looking for what it is that is taking that emotional response away, or covering it up. I am like a hound dog on that stuff. What with all the barking and stuff....

I’ve never seen @fetguy cry, ever! Lol j/k, but he's pretty much sized me up accurately! 

Should have been there when I zipped....ah...nevermind.
