Zu Omen or Tekton Lore


Best floorstanders under $999 for low power SET amp?

Thanks

I have had my Lores since October. Eric was very accommodating. I needed them shipped so they would arrive on a certain day and he went the extra mile to make sure it would happen. They are very easy to drive. I'm using a restored 30 watt vintage Scott amp and I have more than enough power. For the money they are an absolute steal. They ran me a little over a $1000 shipped to Philadelphia. I think 30hz is a little optimistic on the bass. I think the mid 30's is more reasonable spec. The vast majority of music doesn't go below 40hz anyway. I'm in a medium size room and as far as I'm concerned the bass is fine. I think anyone with a low powered tube amp should definitely consider the Lores. As I said before they are an absolute steal for the money.

I have about 50 hrs. on my Lores and I am guessing that is still not enough . I am a bit disappointed on the bass , not the lack of it , just sounds a bit muddy to me so far.
Cwazz - what are you driving your Lores with, and what source? Also, Zman told me about this trick... tilt them back slightly and the bass will tighten and sound more natural. You may be used to a different type of speaker's bass???

Room, placement, and front end + cables can have everything to do with that. The Lore's bass is not muddy. Give it more time to loosen up also.
