Binding posts for signal input are located at the bottom of the back of the speakers. The two sets of binding posts above, closer to the middle of the rear of the speaker, are not for signal input but rather for application of resistors to adjust the tweeter response for room integration and taste. Resistors not included.
"The Tekton Encore loudspeaker is not another step forward or another upgraded Double Impact loudspeaker. In my opinion, and despite any similarities, the Encore is an entirely different concept altogether. They sound like no loudspeaker I've had in my dining room. They're quick and nimble, yet powerfully alert in the bass region without bloat or blunder. Their midrange is unusually natural, rather in the fashion of a fine ribbon loudspeaker. All the drivers are located right on the front baffle - where you can see them, yet they emit sound as though there are additional drivers on their periphery. Image density and incredibly low noise gives them an almost eerie sense of quiet.
Last but not least is their asking price. These puppies retail for $8,500, rather expensive in typical Tekton terms, yet, they're quite simply the best sounding loudspeakers I've heard in a very long time. In my opinion they'll stand up handsomely against speakers in the $50,000 to $100,000 range. Don't blame me for being smitten. I just happen to think they're that incredible." - Stereo Times
