Greetings
Thank you to all who have contributed to this thread. I have the Lore-S speakers for 2 months now and am very satisfied. I came to a choice Zu vs Tekton Omen vs Lore. The debate lead me hear. Both similar but the Lore was a better value and surpassed the Omen. I could only go on what I read hear and other sites. I was unsure about speakers I could not listen to before buying. I called Tekton and Eric answers the phone. Actually called several times and he always answers the phone. Big plus. Nothing better than talking to the owner designer and builder of your speakers.I explained to Eric the best speaker I liked was the Vandersteen 2ce Sig2. I wanted a more lively sound and the ability to have them vanish as the source. Eric felt his yet to be released Lore with Seas drivers would be the best fit for me. I needed tone, imaging, depth and detail. The Lore-S delivers on all accounts. Thanks Genjamon for your comments on the Lore-S. You described them accurately. I listen to a wide variety of music rock, classical, country, blues, At moderate and lower volumes they are very pleasing. The highs are very smooth. I found a slight tilt back helpful. To be exact, lift the front up 5/8 inch. The sound stage became taller, wider and deeper. I built platforms similar to the ones from Mapleshade. 1 1/2 thick x 14 x 16 with 3 brass points. The two in front are 1 1/4 high and the rear one is 5/8 high. The speakers are 9.5 feet apart with only a slight toe in. The result is a very spacious musical event. Eric has a winner here. His veneer work is art. And if you want he can do just about any color. Give him a call.
