Zu Omen or Tekton Lore

Eric use to work for Kimber.

The Q cable I am using is similar to 4TC, in that it is a twisted configuration, but transcends it because it is a type 2 litz which means it is a "twist of a twist." Not only is it effective as shelf shielding, but it completely eliminates skin and proximity effect. It is evident by how nothing sounds rolled off. I testify to you that this is a world class cable. 4tc is not. This is a case where you really have to forget the reviews and magazine ads and try for yourself. If you research what works best with SET and low powered setups, it is frequently Litz or just look at what Tommy Horning puts in his amazing Horn Hybrid speakers – silk cut Litz.

Just a thought, if I was to go with solid core, I would be much more apt to go w/ Zman's design over Speltz. Reason: he go's the extra mile with the Cryo treating and twisting it. Speltz is just a solid core wire – nothing to it really.

I just picked up the Lore and met with Eric. What a great guy you absolutely get the feeling from the first minute you meet him that he is not here to sell you a pair of speakers but he is here to share his love and knowledge of building a world class speakers with you..I took the speakers of the boxes and they are damn heavy i know it is way way too early to talk about how good they are but i can tell you this from the first LP or cd i played i can feel the bass in my face and a fantastic midrange. again i know it is too early and Eric told me just to let them run for 15 hours or so at a moderate to bit higher volume and by tomorrow i will get at least 70% of what the Lore can deliver. I can't wait to hear the difference.. To all of you Audiogon members who are looking for new speaker,do yourself a favor and CALL ERIC.I will post a follow up later this week

Congrats Boniccie - don't forget to give us a nice write up!! They take a good 200 hours to fully break in so be patient. You wll notice them playing more effortless and having the ability to move more air as time goes on.

To all of Lore guys - please post your reviews at audioreview.com I was the first to review the Lore there and I am sure Eric would appreciate it. This is surely "the find" at such a great price, and I wouldn't want to see the price increase due to lack of a following, etc.

God bless all of you!!

All this talk of everyone getting their Lore's has me very anxious now. I ordered mine a little while back, but I did order them with a veneer option, so that obviously creates a delay. I ordered a pair of Fostex based Tektons from Eric about a year ago and have been super happy with them, but now I am very eagerly awaiting the Lore's! :)
