Zu Omen or Tekton Lore

Hey friends iv had the Pendragons for a little over 1 month and this is coming from a guy who loves his music .... Truck hold 6 12" inch eve full range speakers with bema speaker in front and back and rear so imagine the sound coming out from a alpha sonic 2000 watt amp with 2 12"inch solobaric...extreme dosnt matter what kind if music you prefer one thing about a good set of speakers is that it will perform no matter weather music home theater .... Mind you I have my pendragons hooked up different then most ... Some would say crazy but remember my truck system and those massive speakers ... Now I have a pioneer sc-57 which has a class D pioneer based of ICE .... Being high effecient this class d not to mention a 192k 32bit Dac it has more then enough power to drive these speakers and I can't go all the way up on the dial this concludes the point im trying to make.... Huge soundstage .... Tight deep base and although ohms are different between car and home stereo I promise you anyone who purchase these speakers will no doubt realize it was the best choice you may have made year to date.... Enjoy

I'm glad you're enjoying them. If only I had a bigger room. Oh well. Looks like my loss was your gain. My Lores arrived yesterday and I couldn't be happier. Everything is right again.

Hi all ! Evank... I think the veneer is $250 or $300 upcharge . Rsfphil....That 4 ohm load on the Pendragons is what steered me to the Lores . My small tube amp doesnt like low ohms . These Lores are just fantastic .

I am running Pendragons with a 11 watt Xindak amp and it is plenty of power. I am getting powerful, tight bass with beautiful tonality and very articulate upper bass. I wouldn't be inclinded to think a 4ohm load is big deal as long as it is linear. Capellaudio bought those Pens and described his room as being small... I would conclude that would be the issue. The Pendragons need more than just 10x12 or so room to play or they will overwhelm the room. It sounds like they were a bad match with that Scott amp as well... but lets not be quick to such a conclusion that it is a 4ohm problem... because as I said my little chinese amp has no problem whatsoever. Since I replaced the tubes, I am getting crystal clear beautiful sound that transcends the Lore by a fairly wide margin (as it should re the price difference), and with that I am off the upgrade train finally! That is not to say that the Lores don't sound similar.. as they are great and surely do.. but the Pens recreate the live event better as they have a much thicker, and more powerful bottom and play more open due to the design with the triple tweeter array.

This gentleman clearly downgraded because in his room, simply less is more.

Hi GPowered,
I think your point is worth emphasizing as most people on these boards simply read good or bad, but one big key is matching speaker with room! The Lores are amazing in a small room at nearfield, but I am sure the Pendragons, which are very similar to my Omen Defs, would be much better suited in a larger room. Not that the Lores are bad in a large room, but just not as large of a soundstage, less dynamics, and less bass than the larger speakers. Maybe one day I will get to compare the Pendragons to the Omen Defs. That would be a better comparison, and my guess is that I would prefer the tweeter in the Pendragons over the OD's.
