Funny you should post this today as I was thinking the same thing as I was listening to my Salk ST's with LCY Ribbons today. I still find them to be fantastic speakers after all these years, but now with moving into a larger space (read my unfinished basement) I have the ability to both pull speakers further out from the wall and the space sucks up much more bass so I tend to wonder if the Encores would fill that void for me or if I'd be better off maybe just adding another sub. (I have a Rythmik F12 as well.)
