Zu Omen or Tekton Lore

FRSDs with that big honkin' Parasound?!? (Just joking)
We're all too busy sitting around listening to music to post. Try to find a pair to listen to and you may find they work for you, too.
I have the Zu Omen and Tekton Katz Meow driven by a 2A3 SET. My review is that if you are in a small room the simplicity of single drivers makes it easy to get great sound in there. Certainly worth a try.

Maybe all the recent Tekton Lore buyers are too busy enjoying the music from their speakers to participate in the forum now.

I'm curious about their OB speaker designs. I keep missing out on the classified listings for them. Seems like as soon as they are listed members jump on them.

Also I think members here are keeping Tekton real busy. I sent them an e-mail some time ago inquiring about some older Tekton models and still haven't heard back.

The Tekton site has a pretty nice video on the front page now of a Lore speaker cabinet being made. Kind of reminds me of the Zu Audio video some time ago. Nice cinematic quality.

Serbof/Jedinite24,
So looks like the Tektons are easy to fall in love. It is not that I do not spend time with my system. But because of the new baby, my listening time has cut down drastically. I setup my system again last week. Before that I used to simply surf the forums between the baby's naps. That was when, by some sheer chance that I came upon this thread.

I liked the Tektons because they look like simple design like my beloved Quads. Honestly I can easily upgrade my speakers at this point to a speaker in between $4K to $6K range. But my Quads are so awesome that I do not have an itch to upgrade. But knowledge is always important and I want to make sure that I do not miss on some good stuff.

The best thing that has happened to me is - my newborn is easily soothed when I rock him to sleep in the music room, with the music running in the background. I hope he too likes music as he grows - just like his older brother :-)

Hey guys! 2 months + in now... fully broken in... and COMPLETELY satisfied with my Lore / Quicksilver Mini Mite / Cary cdp-1 / Q cable setup. They just keep sounding better and better. I honestly believe after all of the systems I've had, this one is really special in terms of real high end value. I am off the A'gon train. Guess I'll set up a little home theater now, lol. God bless!

Just a quick note to mention: after 250+ hours of run in with ALL equipment, I have noticed a great amount of focus and precision in the soundstage. It is as deep and 3 dimensional as any system I have had, and beyond. It is really quite remarkable for a $1K pair of speakers. People I am telling you - the sound from the Lores is so amazingly realistic, I pity the individual that decides to spend 5x this to get the same result. Live music recordings are BREATHTAKING!! Granted, I have made good choices in system matching and the synergy is all there, but if you are on the fence or stuck looking at competing offerings, do yourself a favor and choose the Lores - they are nothing short of amazing!

Again, I have owned:

Dynaudio Focus 220 II
Dynaudio Confidence C1
Dynaudio Audience 70 and 42
Paradigm Studio 60v4
PSB Synchrony One
PSB Stratus Gold I
Von Schweikert VR-4 Jr
Rega RS7
Quad ESL 989
Carver Amazing Speakers
Martin Logan Ascent
Dali Ikon 2
Silverline SR12
Kirksaeter Prisma 50 (home theater)

All of these had their strengths and weaknesses, and most of them cost much more than the Lore. The Lore is a completely different animal – it plays extremely loud but at the same time is as delicate and focused as the best of them. No frequency sounds detached - that is perhaps the most profound truth to these. Its highs are crystal clear and beautiful, while the mid-range is second to only the Quads I owned - that is really saying something! The lows are tight and very articulate, but again do not expect a $1K single driver speaker to shake the earth – the laws of physics will not allow it. But as other have said here the lows are of good qaulity.

The bigger speakers above (e.g. Carvers) had more bottom end then the Lore, but I enjoy the total package of the Lore much more than ALL of these … and I am sure that some of that has to do with all of the money I was able to save.

Again, to Christ be the glory and I am grateful that there are honest guys like Eric delivering the goods affordably.
