Description

Tekton Design stands alone as the only loudspeaker manufacturer crafting luxury-grade fidelity priced in the value category of hi-fi.

This loudspeaker outperforms comparable models from Magico, Sonus Faber, YG Acoustics, and Wilson Audio, even those priced above $85,000, in both sonic quality and measured performance.

The Tekton Design Encore prioritizes performance without compromise. We believe stunning fidelity doesn’t have to come from a loudspeaker in the luxury category (Sonus Faber, Magico, Wilson, Focal, etc.) with a museum-worthy price tag. How can we say this? How have we produced a loudspeaker that surpasses the performance of luxury models priced at $85,000 per pair? We do it through our patented intellectual property. 

“I have lost track of the phone calls and email correspondence from audiophile clients informing me of Double Impacts, Moabs, Encores, and Ulfberhts outperforming the most popular competitor’s models priced from $10,000 to $100,000 per pair.” – Eric Alexander, inventor and audio designer

“Every audiophile should expect perfect midrange! I’ve been inventing and designing loudspeakers for over 30 years and have only heard the words ‘perfect midrange’ from the mouths of discerning audiophiles in reference to our patented tweeter arrays.” – Eric Alexander, inventor and audio designer

The Tekton Design Encore elevates the award-winning Double Impact concept to a whole new level. Our patented midrange tweeter array and premium European-crafted mid-woofers deliver an unparalleled sonic performance – smooth, lifelike, and breathtakingly detailed; i.e., perfect midrange.

Experience Unrivaled Sound with the Tekton Design Encore Loudspeaker

The Tekton Design Encore loudspeaker, designed by the acclaimed Eric Alexander, redefines audio performance, standing as a flagship model that embodies Tekton Design’s dedication to delivering high-performance audio at an exceptional value. This speaker is a testament to the company’s philosophy of providing audio fidelity that rivals luxury brands, but at a more accessible price point.1 Prepare to rediscover your music with unparalleled clarity, detail, and dynamic range, thanks to the patented technology and meticulous engineering within the Encore.1

Key Features and Benefits

The Encore is engineered in the USA and boasts an ultra-linear frequency response from a true 20Hz to 30kHz, with an incredibly tight +/-1dB deviation between 28Hz and 20kHz.1 This wide and linear response ensures that every nuance of your music is reproduced faithfully. With a high sensitivity of 96dB, the Encore can produce significant sound output with modest power, making it a versatile partner for a wide range of amplifiers. Its 4 Ohm impedance and 800-watt peak power handling highlight its capability for delivering room-filling sound and substantial dynamic reserves.1

At the heart of the Encore’s exceptional performance are its meticulously chosen drivers: two 7″ mid-bass patented “overtone & harmonic” transducers, manufactured in Europe, and dual 10″ low-frequency transducers.1 The proprietary 30mm 15 dome radiating hybrid MTM high-frequency array, protected by U.S. Patent 10805715B2, is a central element of Eric Alexander’s innovative design.3 This array contributes significantly to the speaker’s exceptional clarity and detail.1 The Encore also features a minimum-phase midrange crossover section, ensuring perfect sonic coherence and accurate imaging.1

Patented Technology for Unmatched Clarity

The Encore’s patented low-mass midrange array is the key to its exceptional clarity, detail, and dynamic range.1 Combined with meticulously engineered components and premium European-crafted mid-woofers, the Encore achieves what Tekton Design calls “perfect midrange”.1 This focus on sonic purity allows listeners to experience their music with a level of precision and realism previously thought unattainable.

Outperforming the Luxury Competition

Tekton Design boldly states that the Encore outperforms comparable models from luxury brands such as Sonus Faber, Magico, Wilson, and Focal, even those priced significantly higher . This claim is supported by professional reviews and user experiences, highlighting the Encore’s exceptional value proposition in the high-end audio market.

Rave Reviews from Industry Experts

Professional reviews from Stereo Times provide compelling evidence of the Encore’s superior sound quality. Clement Perry of Stereo Times declared the Encores as “quite simply the best sounding loudspeakers I’ve heard in a very long time,” suggesting they rival speakers in the $50,000 to $100,000 price range . Terry London, reviewing the Encore Monitor (a related model), praised its “superb transient speed” and “tight control over micro-dynamics,” contributing to exceptional clarity .

Immersive Soundstage and Precise Imaging

With the Encore, instruments are “locked in a vast soundstage,” creating an immersive listening experience.3 The speakers “completely disappeared, creating a deep, large, and accurately layered soundstage”.4 Users also report “glorious spatial detail,” allowing for a truly captivating audio presentation.1

Powerful and Controlled Bass

The Encore delivers a significant “kick like a mule when it comes to bass impact” while maintaining exceptional smoothness in the midband . The dual 10″ low-frequency transducers provide “powerful deep bass extension” that is both effortless and room-shaking.1

A Sonic Character of Aliveness and Musicality

Reviewers note a sense of “aliveness” in the Encore’s presentation, along with a touch of warmth reminiscent of classic Sonus Faber speakers.4 The midrange is described as “unusually natural, rather in the fashion of a fine ribbon loudspeaker,” offering a balanced sonic signature of detail, dynamics, and musicality.3

Overwhelmingly Positive User Feedback

The Tekton Design Encore boasts a perfect 5.00 out of 5 rating on the official website, reflecting the high level of user satisfaction.1 Users consistently describe the sound quality as “phenomenal,” “glorious,” and “musical,” praising its clarity, detail, and realism . The midrange and highs are often lauded as “perfect” and “amazingly accurate,” while the bass is described as deep, tight, and accurate.1 The wide soundstage and holographic imaging capabilities are also frequently mentioned.1

Many users believe the Encore offers performance comparable to or exceeding that of much more expensive loudspeakers, representing an exceptional value in the high-end market . Some have even stated that the Encore outperforms speakers from brands like Magico, Sonus Faber, YG Acoustics, and Wilson Audio in the $50,000 to $100,000 range .

Encore vs. Other Tekton Design Models

The Encore is positioned as a significant upgrade from the Double Impact, offering superior impact, dynamic expression, and lower distortion thanks to its patented midrange tweeter array and premium European mid-woofers. While the Encore Monitor shares a similar sonic character and D’Appolito configuration, the full-sized Encore resides above the Moab in Tekton’s flagship offerings . While the Ulfberht, Tekton’s top-tier model, may offer even greater three-dimensionality and focus, the Encore stands as an exceptional performer in its own right.3

 

Feature	Encore vs. Double Impact	Encore vs. Moab	Encore vs. Ulfberht	Encore vs. High-End Brands (e.g., Wilson)
Positioning	Upgrade	Above Moab 7	Below Ulfberht 7	Competes with/Outperforms
Performance	Superior impact, dynamics, lower distortion 3	Similar sonic character (Encore Monitor)	Potentially lower in 3D, focus, coherency 3	Often compared to $50k-$100k range
Size/Weight	Larger and heavier	Full-size Encore larger than Moab Monitor	Smaller and lighter 3	–
Price Point	Higher	Higher (full-size) 7	Lower 1	Significantly lower 1

Exceptional Build Quality and Design

The Tekton Design Encore is a substantial loudspeaker, standing 62 inches tall and weighing 145 lbs. Its design features fourteen proprietary dome tweeters, functioning as two midrange drivers, and an additional center dome tweeter reproducing high frequencies; combined these components comprise a forward-thinking innovative MTM loudspeaker array. Pairs of French manufactured Audax 6.5-inch mid-bass drivers and dual 10-inch long-throw woofers complete the impressive array of drivers. The rear of the Encore includes two pairs of Cardas 5-way binding posts for bi-wiring, along with resistor pots for fine-tuning frequency balance. The use of high-quality components like Audax drivers and Cardas binding posts underscores the commitment to robust construction and exceptional performance.
