Zu Omen or Tekton Lore

They show a picture of the new Pendragon center speaker in this thread here...

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.

I'm in the process of upgrading the crossovers, and need a little advice.

I was curious about the zobel, the crossover I recieved from Eric has a zobel, but is 5.6uf and a 3ohm resistor. I believe the zobel you guys talked about is a 4uf and an 8ohm resistor. Now is it a replacement for what's there or is it put in parallel with what's there? Or would you leave well enough alone?

Did you guys experement with extra damping material, what did you use and what where the effects?

And as a side note, I'm not going with the mundorf sio yet... I can definatly see why they are suggested, I think they would be synergistic with this speaker, but alas finances at this point. Anybody try any PIO, I'm going to try Russian KBG first and possibly try bypass with SSG Silver Mica.
