Zu Omen or Tekton Lore


Best floorstanders under $999 for low power SET amp?

Thanks

Well I had 1.6s years ago, same room but completely different gear. For me it was the fact that in my small room 12' x 13' x 9' the Lores are a better fit. And I did the whole flea power amp thing, once I did that there was no going back...for now anyway.
I don't really remember the Maggies that well, but I did have a sub with them, and I don't need a sub at all with the Lores, no way no how.
If I had 1.6s now I would consider the Lores a sideways move maybe, certainly not a downgrade.
Sebrof. Thanks for your reply to my question. I am
Driving my Lores with a primaluna tube amp for a year now and they
Sound great. I will stick with this combo
For a while.
Boniccie - the Maggie sound is extremely detailed and transparent. They are fun to listen to, but vastly different. They are a wall of sound opposed to the 3-dimentional and deep soundstage that the Lore throws with a good tube amp. That combo you have has to be awesome. Hopefully you are able to bring the Lores out into the room a little to get the depth effect. I also think the Lores sound more realistic in terms of a "lively", or effortless presentation.

I have my Pendragons dialed in just right now... I figured out the perfect set up in my room, and I would take these over a pair of Maggie 3.6's any day. There is no compression with the music whatsoever, and now that I have them set right... imaging is spot on. Missing nothing with them... and I am listening with a 200w Marsh A400S right now. never thought solid state would work so well with the Tektons...
Gpowered thanks for the info. Can you please tell me
How far are the speakers from back wall ans side walls.
I remember someone in this thread mentioning that
His Lores are just 7" from the back wall and the bass
Is great. I am not a bass fanatic at all and my Lores are 31" from back wall and 20" from side walls.
I am about 1-1.5ft from the left side wall, but then I have quite a bit more distance to the right due to the room layout... and 28.5" off the back wall (from the back of the speaker). I could flip the setup in the room but then it means I have window on the back wall... I'd rather avoid that.
