Zu Omen or Tekton Lore

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.

"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..."

Fair enough. I think he was joking about you being Eric but who knows.
I see 99 guys raving about the Lores, there's got to be a few guys who say different. Life is never that cut and dry.

Hey Sebrof,

I started with the Omen, then got a pair of Omen Defs, and it was "WOW". The Omens on steroids without sacrificing
anything. Just more of everything. Then traded them with
about 300 hours for a pair in Ghost black, and now have about
80 hours or so, and they are coming around just like the first pair! I love speakers, and kind of hate the idea of not playing with any more, but these are so amazing I don't want any other speakers. I will only move up the Zu line if my ship ever comes in.

OK Gpowered I guees I should have added a :) after my attempt at a joke . Let me state now THAT GPOWERED AND ERIC ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON . My apologies to Eric if I caused any harm to his reputation.
Getting back to Gpowered . I post on here to get info , not to be lectured at. I am sorry if I did not drink the same koolaid as you , I just find , the LORES a bit brighter then I thought they be . Not that they are not a good speaker , they are , just , like any other speaker ,,, not perfect .The brightnes may well be my electronics , but how can you state that , when by your own admission you are not familiar with my amps/preamps???So spare me the the lack of experince comment . I did talk to Eric before I bought the speakers , told him what I have and he said they would be no problem.I am not griping about the speakers , as you have commented. Just stating MY opinion ,as you have stated yours. I will say this for the last time , so Gpowered listen,,, I like the LORES , like there finish , are they perfect ,,no but NO speaker is . I listen to the speaker ,, not to there finish Gpowered so that does not affect my expectations of the speaker, as you have previously noted.
OK so with this post , it will be my last on this subject ,,thanks, its been great.
