Zu Omen or Tekton Lore


Best floorstanders under $999 for low power SET amp?

Thanks

Question: have Lore or Omen owners ever paired these FRD speakers with low-powered solid state amps? I'm thinking specifically about a 40-watt Peachtree idecco. My father-in-law (not an audiophile, but audio-curious) asked me to put together a $2K 2-channel system that works with all his sources including the cable box, Blu-ray player, and his ipod. The idecco seems a great match for his sources and lifestyle, but clearly its MOSFET amp section is not the finest to to found. I'm thinking that we could make the most of it, though, by pairing it with an efficient FRD. The fact that Peachtree chose to exhibit its Nova (80 watts) with Zu Essences at a show a couple of years ago makes me think that the idecco and Lore combo might not suck (given all the compromises we're making to provide functionality and meet budget.)

Whaddya think?
Cymbop. I have had the exact same question. Will the idecco be enough to drive the Lore's at a high volume?
Has anyone tried to replace the Eminence Legend B102 drivers with something different (e.g. Eminence's other series)? I've wondered how much of an upgrade will the Lore have with the B102 is replaced with a more expensive driver. If it makes a difference, I would ask Eric to give us options to choose what drivers to install. There are several Eminence 10" drivers that are more sensitive than the Legend B102.
Don't let the price of the Eminence drivers worry you. Being one of the largest driver manufacturers in the world and the b102 a classic means they make 1000s of them for Marshall and Fender and other pro audio oems etc...... Economy of scale
