Zu Omen or Tekton Lore

"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.

Individual taste and expectations have a lot to do with perception. I love the Lore, but I also respect others opinions on them also.
If I had bought the Omen instead of the Lore, Chances are I'd be writing great things about Zu.
The fact that we can have such great speakers at prices that almost anyone can afford is thrilling to me.
Have fun in the hobby.

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.

Interesting enough, gpowered having Kirksaeters. I use the 220s (92db) with my little Sophia Electric Baby (10 watts) in a 35 x 17 room to loud conversation levels. Yesterday, I took my amp to a dealer friend to listen to Zu Omens and Cain Abbeys. I really liked the Abbeys, although bass shy. The Omens were just far too congested sounding. I'll stick with my Kirks. I got mine as demos for about $1000.00. I play vinyl 75 percent of he time, tuner 20 percent and cd 5 percent approximately.
