Zu Omen or Tekton Lore

I'd call the driver a slightly blueish gray. Not the perfect match with a wood veneer in my opinion, but I don't notice it as much as when they first arrived. Not really a big deal to me. I have much worse aesthetic issues in my living room than these minor issues on otherwise very fetching speakers. I did suggest to Eric he should consider grills an option, especially for wood veneers. He said he's been looking into it with an industrial engineer, and he hopes to offer a retrofit for those who already have Lores and would like grills. He didn't mention anything about timeline. Honestly, if faced with the prospect of shipping costs to and from Eric and also time without the speakers, I'd probably be fine not even going for grills. I'd sure miss the tunes while they're away.

Thanks for the crossover info. I have found that taking some of the load off my main drivers by using both a high and low pass filter really improved things. Not sure if this was due to taking the load off my main speaker amp or from taking the load off the speakers...

Worth experimenting with perhaps.

Thanks for the info and glad the mp3 problem isn't with the speaker

Light in the bass? I never considered the Lore to be light in the bass. It's not earth shattering bass. It's very ballanced and not dominant. Bass is a personal preferance to most people. Some people just want big bass and everything else is secondary. I like a ballance with a little slam when slam is needed.
Room placement will definatly help out in the bass department.
I'd much rather have clean bass than more bloated bass.
Deeper bass would be nice, but for what it has, it's very clean and to my liking.
Just my opinion.

In regard to Cwazz comment about them being bright: understand that the Lore is not a rolled off sound. It took me a little while to get used to this aspect of them. I've had bright / hot sounding speakers before and the Lore is not that. Actually, it pains me to even hear someone say that, because I am EXTREMELY sensitive to bright sounding speakers and these would have been out the door quick if that were trhe case. I can’t even listen to some Monitor Audio speaker for instance.

If you are experiencing some issues with brightness, I would strongly advise to check out the rest of your chain and look closely at your room. At 98db eff. and this full range driver, they are going to reveal EVERYTHING. If you are after a warmer sound, there are plenty of loudspeakers out there that roll things off. Also, no speaker will sound good a brittle room, although a warmer speaker might be easier on the ears.

Now, in regard to the light bass comment... understand that the Lore is not going to kick you in the chest at 30hz. It would unwise to believe that any $1,000 speaker could do that, unless it was seriously compromised in other (and likely all) other areas.

Genjamon - I am also surprised to hear you find Lores are light in the bass. My Omens with the 10"er are anything but light, I even had to raise them a little (they port out the bottom) to get the bass right. I would assume the 10"er on the Lore would be similar in this regard.
Have you used that amp with other speakers?
Have you played with positioning?
Or maybe you're just a bass freak :) What's your point of reference?
