Zu Omen or Tekton Lore

"I know if I check your earlier post you compare the Lores to speakers costing thousands more. I beleive you actually called them the best AND,last speaker you would own."

Yes! And they could have very wel been, if it wasn't for the upgraditis :)

"I would love to be able to have multiple amps , preamps to compare with the Lores , but as everyone knows here this not a inexpensive hob."

Cwazz - do what most of us do, sell your front end, and buy something different for equivalent $ that is a better match. What exactly do you have again so we can make recommendations? You definitely have to be willing to take some chances. It may seem like I have all thos money to burn - I do not. I am just using $ I have brought in from equipment I have sold. I agree I do not have the money to go nuts - especially being a young family with 3 children

Sebroff I apreciate the help , the 35 amp was actually a intergrated amp. I am use to the sub woofer.I had volume at 8-9 depending on the music.

well sebrof the tube amp did cahnge the sound , but it just wasnt for me , so the search continues!!

Cwazz,

Tube amps can sound mighty different. Particular things to keep in mind with them are not only the tubes used but also whether there is negative feeback in the circuitry and the amp's damping factor. Too high a damping factor with designs like the Lores leads to overdamped bass. That may or may not be your problem, but I'd put it on the list of suspects. I loved the Aleph 30 in a DIY speaker of similar design to the Lore. But the damping factor was too high and this seriously impacted the quality and amount of bass I got compared to amps with lower damping factors. Of course there is also the worry of underdamping too, which leads to less controlled, boomier bass.

Might be the speaker, might be synergy with this mystery unnamed tube amp.
