Zu Omen or Tekton Lore

HI Sionlim.....I am in San Francisco also.....shoot me an email m1organ at gmail. I would be happy to have you over sometime for a listen.....

As far as the bass comments, I was not trying to say the Lores have insufficient bass, but merely saying they have much much less than the Pendragons. Also I was saying this in regards to Sionlims comments about not needing a lot of bass. I have owned both the Lores and the Pendragons btw. In my bedroom, which is maybe 12x15, the Lores were ideal. In my living room of 20x40, the Lores were too small and the bass lacking except in the nearfield where they were superb!

The bass in the P-Dragons is actually almost too much as I live in a Victorian....thank goodness one neighbor is 90 and deaf and the other travels alot!

I can see where the Lores may not be enough for your room. I'm in a 22x14 room with the speakers on the long wall. I sit around 8.5' from the speakers and my sofa is right up against the rear wall. I went from the Lores (which I loved) to the P-Dragons (which I didn't) and back to the Lores. The Dragons just completely overwhelmed my room. No matter what I did I just couldn't get them to sound right. I suspect that part of the problem may have been the 4 ohm impedance. I'm using a fully restored Scott LK72-b amp. At the time of purchase I didn't know the Dragons were a four ohm speaker. Had I known I wouldn't have bought them. A more modern tube amp may have helped a little, but I still had the room to deal with. I'm committed to the Scott so the Dragons had to go. I learned a very expensive lesson.

Hi all ! Rsfphil.....My room is just a touch smaller than yours and have been tempted by the Pendragons . I kinda figured out my Lore's have great bass in my room and not to mess with the Pendragons . your comments above reconfirm for me to stay with the Lores . There has got to be something wrong with these things tho....I am driving a pair of $1000 speakers with $14,000 worth of equipment....kind of blows that rule of spending 1/3 or whatever of your budget on speakers . They just cant be this good...lol

Thanks, Finsup! ;-)

Morganic and Sionlim you live 2 hours from me in Roseville just out from Sac.
I would have thought most of you where on the East coast.
