Zu Omen or Tekton Lore

"My reason for switching is to get a little more forgiving speaker for lower quality recordings"

The lores will be perfect at this. That's an area that is critical for me, because my inventory of "audiophile" recordings is practically nothing. For me, it's all about the emotional experience and the ability to give God the glory. A highly analytical system is not my cup of tea, but with that said, the paradoxical truth about the Lores is their ability to be forgiving but also sound like live music on live recordings. No other speaker I have listened to does this. The P-dragon does it as well. Maybe it's an Eminence thing...

Utah - Just FYI, I had Klipschorns when I took a chance on Eric's Katz Meow V1 speakers. I have never looked back, I have never missed the KHorns, and I like the Lores even better than the Katz. I didn't realize how much "unforgiving-ness" I was putting up with listening to KHorns ;)
Not sure how the mods to your LSs apply here, but I'd be willing to bet you would not be disappointed with the Lores.

Re: eminence thing. The Katz 1 has a Fostex driver, so perhaps Eric has something up his sleeve to pull this off. Interesting...

I want to thank everyone who has participated in this chat since it turned me on to a high efficiency speaker with a benign impedance that sounds really good. I'm not, and have never been in to horn speakers; my wife and I come down on the slighty warm/neutral side of this audio world.
As I listen to the small Tekton 4.5s, which prompted me to purchase the Jolida FX 10 for a desktop system in a small room (office), my ears are blown away by this small combo...and it hasn't broken I yet. Today I hooked up my Cary 280 V12 with 50 watts of single ended triode and Wow! Wow! The little Tektons really came alive. Huge soundstage, I mean extremely wide and deep. Very present and live, voices, male and female large and live, timbre just beautiful, real piano, even the bass got deeper and a tuneful type, not one note. I'm really hazard now, wife too.
Can't wait to order the Lore...thanks all!,

Has anyone recently contacted Eric to bring the price of the Lore down to what it was before ($850)?
