Zu Omen or Tekton Lore


Best floorstanders under $999 for low power SET amp?

Thanks

I'm curious if the ZU's are $500 better sounding (which is personal taste of course) than the Lore's. At $1500, you are getting close to XQ KEF series (I know, a different type of speaker). My thought process works like this, are the omen's $1500 speakers, that were offered for $999 or are they $999 speakers they are able to sell for $1500. It doesn't matter if they sound good to you. But, since I cannot try them both locally (I know both have great return policy), it makes sense to try the Lore's first. I wish more people who have heard both would chime in

There are a few additional things to consider:
1. Zu includes free shipping both ways with a 60 day return policy.
2. Resell value.
3. If I were looking at the $1500 price range, I would get a B stock pair of Superfly's (Zu just sold one this week for $1800). The Superfly HO Driver is better, it also comes with Mundorf caps, and has better internal (silver) wire.
On the other hand, I have not heard the Lores, but would love to and I hope to soon. If I were single I would just order a pair but my LR is full! The price to performance of the Lore is very high right now and I bet you would be very happy with either:)
I agree with Morganc that you'd probably be happy with either.
I have and love my Omens that I bought for $999. If I were looking today I would opt for the Lores but that's just me.

btw I don't believe there is an answer to the "are they $999 speakers selling for $1500 or ate they $1500 speakers that originally sold for $999.
I have been following this thread and yesterday I ordered a pair of Lore speakers. After Zmanastronomy said they were not a pretty speaker, I decided to spring for the gloss finish, in black. Eric said it will take two weeks for the gloss finish to be ready, and now I am thinking of changing to gloss white since it may go well with my audio room. Have any of you seen the gloss finishes, and what do you think of them. I am a little concerned about resale value, especially for white. Also, I asked Eric about speaker cable and he said get Kimber 4TC. Eric used to work at Kimber. 4TC cost a fraction of my current speaker cable. Thanks for any comments.
Mlg, I think Gpowered got his in white. He sent me a photo and they look real sweet.
For the price point, I don't think you'll be selling them any time soon after you hear them. They are quite good.
I'll PM you about some cables. Welcome to the Lore club.
Looking forward to your impressions.
