It has been almost a month now since i picked up my Lore from Eric in Orem Utah. I would love to call myself "Audiophile" but i guess i still have a lot to learn and maybe so many systems to listen to before i can call myself Audiophile.At this point i really don't see the need to listen to many systems in fact after listening to the Lore in my system i would rather be an audio lover then audiophile. Several audiogoner said it early in this forum Do not waist time and any more money and go do yourself a favor and order the LORE..What you will get with the Lore is an absolutely amazing soundstage, fullness awith tons of clarity, details and lovely focus. I used Eminent Technology a while ago and yes you get the sense of more air flowing around the notes but you will not get all the other benefits that the Lore can deliver. So many talk about comparing the Lore to other speakers Well i am glad i didn't have to compare speakers to each others and made a great decision by buying the Lore..
Just got back from Axpona in ATL, and while I heard some really good systems... it was a '180' from what I experienced last year when I came home realizing my VSA Jr Mk II / Parasound combo was just not cutting it.

I am happy to report that my Lore/Quicksilver combo presents the music much more realistic and even better then many $30-40K systems I heard!! Those systems had more spl and deep bass, but there is no way they could match the level of realism of instruments, soundstage depth, and beautiful articulation that my system has.

I bought nothing!! I long for nothing!!! This is a huge win for me!

I have no trouble believing this.
Amazing how a well thought out system puts a wrench into the law of diminishing return.
Enjoy!
Exactly sebrof!! And when I shared this w/ some people there, they just looked at me like I had 3 heads i.e., 'surely a $3K system can't stand up to this' ... lol.

Too bad it took me 15 systems to figure this out. But hey, wisdom comes at a cost sometimes... especially for those of us that choose to learn the hard way :o(
Ya know, I have to chime in here and say, I to am happy as a clam with my Zu Omen Defs. I am on the same page as Gpowered
with his Lores!
I have heard many systems, and even though I am a speaker
W----, I cannot see myself buying another speaker (Unless it's a bigger & better Zu). In fact, I am on my second pair
of Omen Defs, breaking in with about 70 hours on them now.
Amazed every day! That's something that wore off after a week with most every other speaker I have ever owned!
