Tekton Lore-S

I just bought the signature 15 but we had a problem with the charger so a new charger is in the mail now. I had a great six hours with the battery and really liked it, it certainly had plenty of power for the tektons, lots of bass, nice mid detail, and could go much louder than I could want, and I have a very large high ceiling room. So, in terms of power, it's fine. I'll post more on the sound when I am able to give it a real listen, and probably the amp needs some break in as well. One thing I did notice is the system brings out a lot of detail and the difference between sources and recordings was pretty significant. Somehow, i think that's normal for a good system, this is my first approach to a high end system.

Hey there!

I am currently leaning heavily toward purchasing the Tekton Lore-S (and pairing it up with a Leben CS-300xs integrated). I listen to virtually everything, but my rotation is fairly independent rock band heavy. My ultimate goal is a musically involving "live" sounding system. If I actually take the plunge I'll let you know my thoughts. Right now I'm in the money saving, old gear selling stage. hehe

It's exciting to see all the chatter about these floorstanders here :)

Sig 15 and Lore-S is a great combo which I used until I had to move some things around. For the $$ you simply can't go wrong, Vinnie at Red Wine is a great guy to deal with also.

I'm thinking of pairing these with my Line Magnetic Audio 216IA. Any owners here using these with a low powered tube amp?

I ordered a pair of Tekton Lore S speakers in mahogany finish. I waited about 3 months, and received them 3 weeks ago. I sold a pair of Goldenear Triton 2 speakers, and was without music for almost the entire time I waited. I don't know why I sold the Goldenears because they are fantastic speakers. I read about the Tektons, and got caught up in the hype. I'm always searching for something different, and a little better. Maybe if I took the wax out of my ears, I would hear something I did't hear before too. Anyway, I set up the Tektons. I am using a Core Audio Kratos all digital amp, the same amp I used for the Triton 2. I play all of my music trough a modified Mac Mini. I was very disappointed with the sound. The Trition 2 was better in every way. Don't get me wrong, the Lore S sounded ok, but the Triton 2, blew them away. I was having some buyers remorse, and played the the Lore S sparingly. Realizing that they were not broken in, I left the Lore S playing 24-7 for about a week. What a difference that made. Unbelievable. Bass, slam, clarity, imaging, and sound stage really opened up. More importantly, they are the livest sounding speakers I ever heard. Better that the Triton 2? Yes. Not in the bass department, but everything else is better. I added a subwoofer, and turned it up just a little to fill in the bottom octaves. OMG. Is there better? Possibly, but i'm guessing that I would have to shell out a ridiculous amount of money to even reach the level of what I am hearing. I've been into this stupid hobby for way too long, however, I never sat down and listened to music the way I am now. Truly amazing.
