Hi Ecruz.

I'm not sure how/why the tweeter in the Lore is preferable to my ears....but it was. And it's been so long that it wouldn't be fair to really even write about the differences I heard as my memory is horrible! Simply put the Lore had a bit more sparkle on the top in and it wasn't "bright" in any way at all.
Ecruz,

I am the guy that sold you the Pendragons. To me, it all comes down to priorities. As good as the Pendragons sound, I would let the video take a back seat. But that's just me since I would never mix the two in the first place. Any time you try to put the two together, one or the other must be compromised.

For example. In order to get the best movie "imaging" on your 106" screen, you need to place the speakers where they ordinarily wouldn't sound as good for two channel music. Or vice versa. You make your choice and live with it. But we shouldn't fool ourselves into thinking we can have the best of both worlds. And this isn't even taking into consideration the compromises that multi channel front end gear presents.

I hope you figure it out and find something that works for you.

Thanks! Waiting to sell the Dragons, then I'll order Lores. Even though the Dragons do not work, visually, in my room, I will definitely miss the sound. They are amazing!
I stepped away from this thread for a month after making my post about Glenn Beck talking about Tekton only to come back to read some really amazing comments. Amazing in that I only mention about Glenn talking about Tekton, nothing else in my post, certainly nothing political, and then a firestorm of negative comments from some people. People who obviously did not take the time to actually listen to his comments. People who evidently are pretty closed-minded.

To summarize Glenn's comments - the audio clip runs 9:34. He spends the first minute and half simply talking about how amazing the speakers sounded to him and his staff. He then spends another two and a half minutes talking about his conversation with Eric, the designer of the speakers, and the balance of the clip is about how wonderful it is to find really good craftsmanship, and how important it is for one to find one's calling in life and then to commit to it - taking pride and ownership in whatever it is that one commits to. I figure about 6 seconds are political.

Surely, those who sniped in this thread could find common ground with those ideas?

Anyway, it's too bad the thread was momentarily derailed. I wanted to share the clip because I agree with those who think Eric is making something really special.

It wasn't your post, it was a few down from yours.
But you posting and bringing it up will surely reignite the fires.

Boy those Omens and Lores are great speakers, no?!?
