Zu Omen or Tekton Lore


Best floorstanders under $999 for low power SET amp?

Thanks

Has anyone tried any Red Wine Audio with their Lores or siblings? With Vinnie's new 15 watter coming out, I'm anxious to try his newer stuff. I had a 30.2 integrated that I sold a couple years ago to go cheaper and still nice with the Miniwatt, then with the Ampino. But I haven't heard his stuff with the new battery technology nor with the tube buffer, and I'm getting curious as to how they'd work with the Lores. Thoughts?
Anyone compared the lore to a magnepan 1.7 or 1.6? I know we are talking of 2 different types of speakers here but i was just curious.
Happy listening Dan
Well I had 1.6s years ago, same room but completely different gear. For me it was the fact that in my small room 12' x 13' x 9' the Lores are a better fit. And I did the whole flea power amp thing, once I did that there was no going back...for now anyway.
I don't really remember the Maggies that well, but I did have a sub with them, and I don't need a sub at all with the Lores, no way no how.
If I had 1.6s now I would consider the Lores a sideways move maybe, certainly not a downgrade.
Sebrof. Thanks for your reply to my question. I am
Driving my Lores with a primaluna tube amp for a year now and they
Sound great. I will stick with this combo
For a while.
Boniccie - the Maggie sound is extremely detailed and transparent. They are fun to listen to, but vastly different. They are a wall of sound opposed to the 3-dimentional and deep soundstage that the Lore throws with a good tube amp. That combo you have has to be awesome. Hopefully you are able to bring the Lores out into the room a little to get the depth effect. I also think the Lores sound more realistic in terms of a "lively", or effortless presentation.

I have my Pendragons dialed in just right now... I figured out the perfect set up in my room, and I would take these over a pair of Maggie 3.6's any day. There is no compression with the music whatsoever, and now that I have them set right... imaging is spot on. Missing nothing with them... and I am listening with a 200w Marsh A400S right now. never thought solid state would work so well with the Tektons...
