Good amp for Tekton lore s speakers?

I am strongly inclined to agree with the above posters - you're sound is too bright secondary to far too much hard/reflective surface in your listening room. Your options? I think the most cost effective one would be to do something about the room - simply hanging draperies should help a lot. Further, if you can put thick throw rugs or a largish carpet/rug on the floor. Another trick wold be to have soft, fabric-covered furniture - great for lounging and controlling the brightness of hard surfaces as are bookshelves with books/albums on them.

My 2nd choice would be the equalizer...that is a hard one for me as I am a bit of a purist. If at all feasible, I either defeat my tone controls or leave them at the 'flat' setting. But, in your case, an EQ may be necessary.

Regarding amp, if I correctly recall, the Lore's are mid-90s in efficiency. With $1500 to spend and that level of efficiency, you have a large world to explore! Definitely peruse the A-gon amps for sale & auction. As pretty much all of us here are audiophile addicts, we tend to treat our gear as well as our offspring. That translates to being able to pick up well-cared-for gear at prices far less the full retail. Take your time and do the above things first. while undertaking those projects, keep a watchful eye for some candy on A-gon.

A nice Decware mini torii has a treble shunt to back off the highs.

With the Lores I would look at a couple of the Decware amps

I use a 4 watt mini with 92db De Capos in a 12 x 22 room and plenty of loud is there :)

I have recommended the BADA 225 hybrid integrated many times. Very nice inner detail with enough power to turn it up if you like. About 1200 at Pacific Valve with 30 day money back.

I don't know if you have solved this, I see the thread is 4 months old. As everyone has suggested, room treatments make a very nice difference in taming top end or absorbing room nodes on bass. If you cannot do much treatment, I would suggest if possible to set these up in a triangle listening pattern, pull them out from the side walls as much as possible, then have the speakers at or near a full tow (pointing at you) when in your listening position. This will cut down on room interaction and with the speakers pointing at you rather than being capable of rebounding off glass will keep the top end from peaking so much.... next an amp/pre or integrated that doesn't have edge and is smooth will help a ton. For an amp, I would recommend a First Watt... one of the 25 watt models, maybe a J or newer or even one of its knock offs... pure class A, smooth and warm... then lastly a good inexpensive pre, I'm sure you'd get a ton of recommendations for a inexpensive tubed pre... I hope this helps,

I like the Decware Mini Torii idea - after you try to do something about the room...surely you can find some window treatments to tame the reflections of the glass and some throw rugs. Again, no amp is going to help much in this situation until you fix your rooms issues.
