TEKTON OWNERS

Just received my Lore Reference speakers, less than a dozen hours on them but already they sound fantastic.  I've only been able to listen at very low to moderate levels so far but they are providing me with the type of sound i was looking for.  There's definitely a clear, lively sound that seems effortless.  I'm hoping that after a proper break in that the bass will fill in a little more, i'm sure it will as it's still very early.  I'm powering the Lores with an older Peachtree Audio Nova integrated and using mostly TIDAL streaming or my own ALAC files through either Chromecast Audio, Sonos, or my new Sonore MicroRendu.  I'm also waiting for the matching center channel to arrive to use for 5.1 movie/tv viewing.
Any Tekton owners want to chime in with their opinions, setups etc?  Any other Lore Reference owners here?

I have auditioned the Double Impact speakers, not my cup of tea.

But my son in law recently purchased a pair of Mini Lore's and I really like the way those sound.

@01svtl I encourage you to ask your question(s) directly over at Tekton Design. Eric will give you guidance about which models fit best within your budget and needs.

Since you already have dual subs and a ’larger’ room, I’d look into scoring a pair of Impact Monitors (B stock, if new is over your budget). Herb Reichert recently reviewed the Impact Monitors (current Stereophile issue) and he has the Kef LS50s as a loudspeaker in his ’associated equipment’ listing. I believe you will find his review will address the needs you bring up in your post.

Also take a look here: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/tekton-impact-monitors

All the best in your quest.

I love my Ulfs, but since my tinnitus has significantly worsened, I have sold all of my electronics and I need to sell them as well.  They are in perfect condition, not a scratch.  They are custom Gray metallic and come with Grilles.  Looking for $7300, Pickup only in NJ.  Please message me if interested.

I just got a pair of Lores,with audax gold tweeter. Bought them used so they are broken in. I'm driving them with 225 watt amp 75 amps peak current. Found they need a really good recording to make them shine. I want to try a few subwoofers with them. Room is 12 X 15 pretty small,I have hat much bigger speakers in the room with no problems.

I own a pair of Enzo XL's.

I upgraded the tweeter to a BE tweeters with as close to the original spec'd speaker as I could find. It was actually a "drop in" replacement. About $300 each, if memory serves.

Despite the 2 ten inch woofers, I would not categorize the Enzo's as "bass heavy", and used a sub with them.

I'm glad you're enjoying your speakers. 

I've since moved up in the food chain to a pair of open baffle speakers (not Tekton), but still have the Enzo's sitting there. Not a bad speaker for the price, but they can't hold a candle to the open baffle speakers (which, at a MSRP of $10K, is completely understandable).

I ran mine with a Classe CA2200 and Classe CP800, so 200wpc. Sources were pretty exclusively CD players.

Mine took a long time to break in, so be patient with them.
