Zu Omen or Tekton Lore

I have seen the measurements and they are just that , measurements . Meaurements that are posted on Tekton website , beleive what you want ,I'll beleive my ears .
How much are the new speakers?
No I am still looking for a new amp/preamp or intergrated .

I know what you mean - the Lores are a very clean bass and not designed to have artificial "fullness." I've owned many speakers that sounded more "weighty", but few have matched the articulation/accuracy of the Lore's bass.

I think you would be a good candidate for the new speaker - Eric is telling me that the weight and bass is just incredible. I believe it, and it better be for a 54" tall speaker with 2! 10" drivers. He is selling it for $2K as the introductory price. But I know that's not cheap to most of us, yet it is very reasonable when compared to the speakers out there that sell in that range - at least for now on paper anyway. Time will tell...

Let me know what amp/integrated you decide to go with. I still believe you haven't really heard the Lores yet. Good to hear from you C...

Oh and Charlie, I agree... it is all about the sound qaulity, but I would be careful in "trusting" the ears when it comes to hearing specific frequencies. This is where measurments are MUCH MORE accurate (assuming the measurment is done correctly). My ears can believe I am hearing 30Hz, when it is really 50 if you know what I mean.

It sounds like you are a guy that really likes slam and dynamics. If so, then unless you are in a smallish room, you will surely benefit from another driver. Bass authority is done best with a dedicated bass driver. With that said, the Lore is FANTASTIC consider that driver is doing 30Hz - 3KHz. Simply astonishing... now imagine what it will do when it's crossed over to a dedicated mid? That's where the Pendragon comes into play! Lore on sterioids!!!

well some of us just simply buy Erics new speaker when he introduces a new one . I really don't think you know what I mean when I state I am not happy with the low end but that is ok . Good luck with the new speakers and chasing nirvana!

Yes, I know what you are trying to say Charlie. I am just trying to give you some facts and insights. If it's not enough for you, then so be it we are all unique in what we perceive as high end sound. If it were me, I would try some different scenrios in the room and on the front end. Not sure why anybody would sit there and just not be happy ... ?

But as far as chasing nirvana, remember I have downsized from a $13K+ rig at one point. This is all for fun and to get some reviews on a speaker that some may be more reluctant to try since it is a little more expensive. It is also a better fit for my room. Stay tuned!
