Best floorstanders under $999 for low power SET amp?

Thanks

Eric is now offering a Pendragon center, rear and dual 12″ subwoofer. Not much info yet. They aren't on his products page -- you'll need to go to his Blog for more info although I have read elsewhere the center is offered at $800.
I have heard the Lore-S and I liked them a lot but thought they might be a little too smooth for rock. I have had it suggested to me that I might prefer the std lore. However, the subject is Omen vs Lore which leads me to believe that they sound similar to the Omen and no offense to the many people who love zu but I just found the sound too different to what I am used to.
Right now I have Totem Rainmakers. I would love the Devore 88s but they are WAY over my price range :(

I had Omens and Lores at the same time and compared in a couple of different systems and rooms with 2 friends. Go back to May 2011 in this thread if you're interested.
Sebrof, thanks for heads up. I also read a review about pendragons vs omen defs that seemed to answer my concerns. In that thread a reviewer stated that for him the omen defs sounded too different from "normal" speakers and it was as if you were sitting in the front row vs mid hall. I guess that is how I felt when I heard the std omens. Not saying that it was bad but just not for me. Of course there is no substitute for listening to them. If anyone has a pair in NYC I would be much appreciative.
