ENCORE SEVEN

The EGG-SHELL brand (tube amplifiers) was created by the Polish company Encore Seven and existed for 10 years until 2022. Currently, the company’s products are developed under the simplified name: Encore Seven.

The product portfolio is now, as we speak, under a complete re-designed process. When as the company, we draw full benefits from our own achievements – all the best features of tube amplifiers, as part of the EGG-SHELL Prestige series, we are redeveloping the circuit, tightening the game and creating a new reference product which elevates all our R&D findings and brings to life an amplifier which competes in completely different league. With employing all the new futuristic concept to the chassis we managed to blend the classic radicalism of the EGG-SHELL Prestige series amps into the futuristic body, which still holds to its traditional ART Deco roots and as such continuous to be a timeless beauty, which always will be pleasing object in the eye of the true connoisseur.

Features of Encore Seven's new generation

To path all the improvements reflected in this new product will be a long list, let us point to those which remain crucial for Us:

Unique visual design, we named the “V-TUBE ENGINE” characterized by inclined lamps in a V arrangement, a horizontal standard circle and a glass front panel, and sandwiched chassis design optimising thermal comfort of the Tube Engine.
Precision of workmanship at the maximum available level of quality.
Innovative gyroscopic remote control of highest precision.
A true hi-end level product.
Extremely good price vs. performance factor.

Encore Seven SYNCHRONICITY

Ladies & Gentlemen, please meet an advanced, aspirational evolution of the EGG-SHELL Prestige series: The Encore Seven SYNCHRONICITY integrated. Its Push-Pull heart beats with KT88 tubes and gives out 40 Watts per channel.

We will provide more information about it soon.

Encore 7’s Egg-Shell @ 360^o

Amplifier itself not only sounds good , but also looks very stylish. Unique chassis had been designed to fulfill not only esthetic demands, but also first of all, to meet circuit demands for the best sonic execution. Neither to say both targets had been completed and this wonderful amp is nothing but the shining little star. With lovely balance between pure ART DECO proportions and V6 engine like layout for all vacuum tubes included it is A LOOKER and THE PERFORMER at the same time. It is also WOMEN”S APPLE IN AN EYE!

PRESTIGE RANGE WITH EL34 POWER TUBE

Please have a closer look at complete Egg-Shell amplifiers line in our offer to find more about. Two of them are Triode circuit employed EL 34 Pentode based amps.

The amplifier marked with the number 15 has 15W RMS power per channel and operates in class A. The second model has the power of 9W RMS per channel and it also operates in class A. It additionally differs from the more powerful brother by having its power supply system based on vacuum tube rectification. Other way they both using same output tube.
