Zu Omen or Tekton Lore


Best floorstanders under $999 for low power SET amp?

Thanks

Interesting enough, gpowered having Kirksaeters. I use the 220s (92db) with my little Sophia Electric Baby (10 watts) in a 35 x 17 room to loud conversation levels. Yesterday, I took my amp to a dealer friend to listen to Zu Omens and Cain Abbeys. I really liked the Abbeys, although bass shy. The Omens were just far too congested sounding. I'll stick with my Kirks. I got mine as demos for about $1000.00. I play vinyl 75 percent of he time, tuner 20 percent and cd 5 percent approximately.
Omens congested suggest they were probably not set up right.
The only time I had them sounding congested was when there were no spikes under them, and when they were on spikes but set to low. They are bottom ported and very sensitive to
floor distance. When right, they are very electrostatic like
and not boxy or congested sounding at all. Just saying! :o)
MT,

Sounds like it as mine are on the warmer side of
neutral to neutral. Toe in/out changes that dramatically.
And/or electronics.
