| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore All very important to keep in mind, Goraman. I'm glad you made those points. The trouble for me, as I've been down that road of tweaking things when I needed to make a significant change, is that you don't know what you don't know. This is probabl... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I ordered mine in early March of last year, and didn't receive them until the first week of April. Granted, I had a special veneer that took some extra time. Eric was pretty up-front about being patient, but it did take a little more time than he ... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I don't disagree with Goraman's comments about amps and other switching around not making more than minor differences, compared to what changing speakers offers in the equation. However, I would say that sometimes for me that 1% difference is all ... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Floosh, yeah I've had an initial foray into amp experimentation. I have an Onix SP3 playing for the past two weeks. It has the recommended upgraded tubes - Groove Tubes 12AX7, Electro Harmonix 6922, SED Flying C 6L6GC.My other amp I had been using... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I would say the Lore-S has effortless detail, soundstage depth to spare, and a good warmth. Lore has the dynamics and can fill a room more, though. I was persuaded by the idea of pursuing greater detail from the Lore via Goraman's upgrade approach... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore +1 on Floosh's comment about tweaks, Goramon. I do want to move forward with those tweaks, but am not very confident with my soldering skills and also would want some details on component ordering. Great summary and suggestions though. I'm left wo... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Thanks for chiming in, Wind. Good to see another person's thoughts on the Lore-S. Eric has developed a pretty interesting range of speakers here, and it's good to know how they might compare to each other. We're still missing some Lore and M-Lore ... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Well, I also forgot to mention that I didn't find the Lore-S very sensitive to interconnects or speaker cable swapping, not as much as the Lore is. I have the copper version of Sweet Reveal cables from Tuan over on Audiocircle and some level two M... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I forgot one last set of thoughts. I find the placement of the Lore pretty sensitive to very small changes and kind of hard to get the right balance of center fill and soundstage width/depth. When you get it right, it's really good, but it takes w... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Wow, this thread has gone really quiet lately! Thought I'd try to bring it back to life a bit with some final thoughts about the Lore vs. Lore-S comparison.I now have my original Lores back in the house after a couple weeks of giving the Lore-S a ... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Hey Rischa, glad to hear you're giving them a go. I don't think you'll be disappointed. A word of advice to make sure and mess with placement a good bit. They sounded great to me out of the box and without toying with placement to a great degree, ... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Sionlim - "I do however rock out and blow my windows out.The Lore is very tempting, but refinement is actually what i really want."Well, the Lore will rock out, for sure, and the Lore-S have much warmer and rounder tone to instruments, kind of a f... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Sebrof - looks like the V3 Katz Meow have the same drivers as the Lore-S, and they're virtually the same price, too. Not surprising they have pretty similar sound. Yeah, if pressed to choose one or the other - which I am - it's quite a hard choice... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I now have the Lore-S in house as of last night. They only had about 10 hours on them before showing up at my place, and I put about 5 on them last night. I'll be playing them while I'm at work all week and also in the evenings, so I should have a... | |
| A Zu / Tekton / Omega Speaker Positioning Thread I have Lores. Not sure my exact dimensions off the top of my head, but it's something like 35" from front wall to rear of speakers, low-20's inches from side walls to middle of drivers, and toe-in is so that they cross about a foot in FRONT of my ... |
