Tekton Lore ...... compare with Vandy 1C


I'm loving my Vandersteen 1C's, but am thinking of MAYBE trying a new speaker at a similar price point. Please look at my system, and let me know if the Tekton Lore would offer a significant change, and if that change would be an improvement. Yes, I know that I can have a 30 day trial with the Lore, but before doing so, I want to see what you guys and gals think. Most of my listening is 1950's - 1960's small ensemble jazz, jazz and folk/rock vocals, and acoustic music. 65 % vinyl, 35 % CD's. Thanks a lot.

Adam18,
The Vandersteen is a pretty decent speaker at its price point but I would agree with mikirob. The Lore is much more efficient and has a high load impedance. This design(simpler crossover) type usally is more open, dynamic,life- like and IMO more natural in sound and realism. With your stated musical taste this would be a excellent match with a high quality low-moderate power tube amp.It`d be ideal to trial the Lore for direct comparisons.It should really mate well to your Rougue amplifier (much easier speaker load to drive, better sense of ease)
Best of Luck,
Call Mark Obrian ask him how he can
Hi Pass your Rogue integrated
Bi amp with a Vandersteen 2WQ
This will dramaticaly lower the whole systems distortion
improve Clarity transparency and dynamic range..
Its the same concept as with the premium Vandersteen Quattro, Five and Seven series.

Hi John,
How much $$$ for what you suggest? The Tekton Lore only cost $1,000.00. One of the best bang for buck speakers out there, like Vandy's are...
By the way, JohnnyR of Audioconnection is one of the best, honest dealers out there in audio land. I would always trust him and listen o his advice. I must admit that he knows a lot more than I do, but I also trust my own ears and straight up no mods against the older 2ce or 1c, I'd still go Tekton Lore.
