Zu Omen or Tekton Lore

For the Tekton Lore owners, what have you found to be the best speaker placement method for them? Mine sound great but I haven't tried messing around with placement all that much.

Thats a very good question Nico.

I find the Lore can change quite a bit with different toe in/out. A bit too much in my room and i have played around alot trying to decide which i prefer.

I found that toe in so the speaker is almost firing staight at you brings more detail and focus with vocals more upfront but looses some bass impact, the sound stage narrows and on some recordings can bit a bit in your face when playing loud.

Toe them out so that they are almost straight ahead and i found the soundstage widens alot more and the overall sound is more even handed across the range and is more forgiving to the recording and volume. Bass has more punch and vovals take a step back. I have i prefer this setup overall but at times i still change it just to confirm it in my head.

What about in the middle of the two positions? Yeh you would think this would be the ideal considering the above but i found it hard to get that middle ground in my room.

I like to have them off the wall as much as i can without loosing too much bass as i find the sound stage depth is better.

Now this is in my room so ymmv. At the moment i have them on the long wall of my room and sit about 8 feet from them
and they are about 7foot apart. But im am planning to turn the room around so they will be on the short wall and i will be able to sit a bit further away. I used to have my previous system this way and the room accustics where better.

Andrew Robinson has recently posted that he will soon be reviewing a Pendragon Theater system. Outside of this thread, he has been my go-to source for information on Tekton speakers.

Steve Guttenberg just posted his review of the Enzo: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-57582778-47/tekton-enzo-a-strong-contender-for-speaker-of-the-year/?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=TheAudiophiliac

I don't know if it is a full and complete review or just the beginning, albeit a very substantial introduction, but Andrew Robinson's review of the 7.2 Tekton Pendragon Theater System is now up. I recommend the video clip he incorporates into the review for anyone jumping over to read his thoughts.

Unlike every review on any piece of equipment I have every read, he doesn't actually spend any time discussing specific movies or music. He does spend time discussing the application of this kind of system to one's own room, including noteworthy comments about the challenges using the surrounds might pose and a brief evaluation of the sub-woofers performance, or slightly lack thereof.
