FWIW
Here are additional info. to consider on the TEKTON LORE.
I'm posting these as I did not find these info. even on the TEKTON website.
Weight: approx. 59 lbs each.
Binding post: 1 pair (gold plated brass), 5/16"
sticks out of rear approx. 3/4"
Footing: Aluminum spike, 1-1/2" tall, adjustable 1/8"
In addition, Eric recommends the Kimber Kable 4TC bare wires (lightly soldered ends just enough to keep braid together).
Just ordered few minutes ago. Hope to receive them in 3-5 weeks (custom finish).
Will power them with 40W/CH, EL34, push-pull ultralinear tube amp. from Sonic frontiers (Assemblage ST-40 Signature) which I built in 2000.
Preamp: SF line2 SE.
Source: LP12/ Benz micro wood L2/ K&K max-out phono preamp.
The audiogon/audio asylum communities has always helped greatly with my decision making. Thank you all! Happy listening..
