The Encore takes the idea of the Double Impact and makes it even better. With the patented mid-range tweeter array and Italian mid-woofers, it produces a smooth, life-like sound unlike any other loudspeaker on the market. It is detailed, classical, and refined, reproducing the sound of jazz and symphonic music so it sounds like you’re live where the music is being recorded.

Description
High-end loudspeaker manufacturers have become very good at making visually striking products that are undoubtedly works of visual art… but unfortunately, those looks don’t necessarily translate to better sound. At Tekton Design, our emphasis has always been to create the highest-performing, yet cost-effective loudspeakers conceivable – all of which are solidly grounded in electro-acoustical physics. We reject the notion that high-end hi-fi needs to be high-priced, and boldly ask: Do you want a pretty pair of museum pieces that put out “good enough” sound? Or are you ready for loudspeakers that produce a level of fidelity positively guaranteed to rival or often exceed the biggest and most expensive brands out there at a fraction of the cost?

I bought my Encores in April 2022 and I’m absolutely staggered by their beautiful performance. Before my Encores I had a pair of high-end horn speakers and they sound very similar in terms of responsiveness and speed, but without the coloration that horn speakers tend to show. These Tektons play all kinds of music effortless and with amazing detail and precision. Just like life music, natural and dynamic. For me these are the perfect speakers, worth way more than they cost.

I bought the Encores two years ago. I do not have the BE tweeters and they sound phenomenal. The bass is incredible the highs are perfect. I am running a Mark Levinson Amp. Just like the previous review the better the equipment the better they sound. The speakers are completely holographic in image and separation. The soundstage is huge on the speakers. I went to a hi-fi shop in town that had $80,000 worth of electronics with 40k speakers ,and then went home and warmed up my system. The encores absolutely blew them away.

Well, I’ve had these Encore’s about 12 day’s. I’ve letting them break in. Their about three hundred hours in. These are without question the best speakers I’ve ever owned. I’ll go as far as to say the best I’ve heard under $80,000. I paid $7300 on the specials page so I didn’t have to wait on them to be made. They just happened to be built out exactly as I would have ordered them. I have them with the BE tweeter upgrade. I’ve been used to listening to ribbons and plainer speakers. I won’t go in to all of the usual audiophile descriptions here but I bought them sight un seen. I could not be more pleased. For the money you won’t find anything at or near their price point that will compete with them. For those who are curious about the BE Tweeters let me say once they’re broken in there is absolutely no ear fatigue what so ever. The highs are extended without drawing attention to themselves. The speaker is very coherent from top to bottom. Sweet on top and clean on the bottom. The resolution is spectacular and on par with any planer or ribbon but with more meat on the bones so to speak. More three dimensional than the ribbons or planers better dynamics. The speakers are so effortless. Eric you are genius! I would highly recommend the Encores. Just make sure you have a proper sized room and that you allow them to break in and you will be rewarded for your efforts. The better the electronics you put in front of them the better they get.
