This is my introductory post to the GR-Research circle.
I'm the proud owner of the Encore Extremes. I've had them for about two weeks so they are still breaking in, but I love them. They are the pinnacle of my audiophile journey, speaker-wise, so far. They are great in my small listening room. Speakers disappear, soundstage is wide and deep, clarity it excellent. And they sound great turned up - fantastic bass that punches way above their size!
And excellent customer service from Danny and his team. When I ordered them I hit the Maple finish by mistake. GR sent a confirmation email right away which alerted me to my screw up. I frantically, emailed and called to ask to switch it to the Walnut option. The folks were on it an very helpful and I even got an email from Danny himself saying "We got you covered." And sure enough they did - beautiful walnut Encore Extremes delivered in a matter of days. Packaging was excellent too and shipping very reasonable.
I'm very happy with my new Encore Extremes and Gr-Research!!
I've had the Encore Extremes for a couple weeks now. Still breaking them in, but I love them. For me, they are the best sounding speakers I've ever owned.
