Zu Omen or Tekton Lore


Best floorstanders under $999 for low power SET amp?

Thanks

Having read this thread carefully, of course I'm only able to 'imagine' the sound of the Lore-S. I'm attracted by everything I'm reading about them. My present speakers are British LS3/5a monitors on stands. I like classical orchestra and 50's jazz and I value nuance, refinement and good scale. Has anyone heard both speakers and can advise me as to how they compare? My room is 14 X 16, long wall placement
I heard Zu for first time recently at Capital Audiofest.

I heard the Essence speakers. I thought these to be promising but appeared to be run off an underpowered amp at the show which limited what they could do. The demo seemed more about how few watts could be used rather than optimizing what the Zu's could do, even in a relatively small hotel room used for the demo. Will have to hear again with a better setup.
Hi Mapman,
The Zu Essence is widely accepted as the anomaly in the Zu lineup. In the same price range the Superfly or the Omen Defs are much more dynamic, lively, and each supply a large dose of the Zu House sound.........
