Zu Omen or Tekton Lore

Jarrett,
Your placement sounds great to start. You may want to experiement with toe in. I have mine in toed in a bit. Also, loosen the front spikes and get the speaker tilting back a bit - zman told me about this tweak for single driver speakers and it makes the bass sound even more natural. It is good that you have them off the back wall! If you sit a little but close to them, you should get an amazingly deep sound stage. Also, allow 150 hour for break in! Enjoy!

Cwazz said he likes the Lores but he doesn't find them to be the holy grail...What's the issue? He is relaying his experience with them, which is what he should be doing. Better than commenting on something he's never heard, which happens all the time on these forums.
The Lores seem to be real good speakers. But don't get bent out of shape every time someone says they aren't the best speaker ever in the world ever. Different people have different tastes, rooms, music preferences, etc. etc. Jeez.

I meant an Epik Phoenix sub!! That's what I had not a Legend lol.

Sebrof... I am fine with diverse views - that's what makes the hobby so much fun. I enjoy seeing it through the eyes of others. The issue was the comment about me being Eric, and all of the other negative comments here and there that have no substance. Wondering if he even owns a pair of Lores...

I have a Counterpoint with a Hafler preamp . I have to admit I think the pre amp is on the bright side."

I didn't see this post from earlier, so my bad on that. It sounds like your expectations are a little different, perhaps because of spending the money on the finish? But after reading this, i think your electronics may be part of your problem. I am not sure about these electronics. You may want to try a more refined preamp like a Conrad Johnson, but i think you would really fare well with a pair of Quicksilver mini's also - i am using them and not lacking bass at all.

Or if you just want to do a preamp fo with the Vincent preamp. I heard Vincent electronics at Axpona this past weekend and they were one of the best rooms for the money.

Lastly, move the speakers around in your room and if bass is still not cutting it, then add the new inexpensive REL T5 sub to the system. That ought to do it.
