Yes, that's correct. I (John J.) ordered the Encores about a month ago and hope to get them sometime next week. I followed the same path as Walter, i.e., DI to SE to Encore. Jonathan was hugely influential in my decision to go for the Encores. In my case I also decided to replace my amp ( Pass XA25 ) as I think the speakers might need more power to really thrive. Sound unheard I ordered the Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 which should arrive shortly.
Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions
I am the very happy owner of the first pair of New Tekton Design Encores and I thought I would create this thread to answer any questions anyone might have regarding the Encore speakers, room considerations, and associated equipment. If you’ve order your pair already, please chime in. I really want to hear what other people’s experience are with these unbelievable speakers.
I drive my Encores with both an Art Audio Diavolo SET 300b Tube Amplifier with 8wpc and I switch in my 700w Nord One-Up SE Monoblocks for non-critical listening and some big pieces of music that benefit from the extra power.
