| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Rocky,If your Lores are Bone stock and positioned level with your floor,your probably experiencing something different.The Lores are not a laid back music from the lobby or parking lot presentation,they make me feel as if I am 6 to 8 cocktail tabl... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Wow! since leveling them and letting them run in some more from sun up to sun down over the weekend and for 2 hours I ran the volume at 12:00! somewhere around 10 watts! Suddenly the high end went flat so I removed the resistor I added to the twee... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore One of the problems was due to my positioning,I tipped them back,Eric said that would spike the tweeter by as much as 3 db. After leveling them it helped alot.The other issue is with a bright pair of caps soon to be swapped. I am not blaming anyon... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Read a little up stream,I have used the same configuration with several pairs of speakers and had no sibilance.I was fortunate a few years ago to be able to compare some of the most expensive cables of the time and even Audio Note Sogon made only ... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Cables make very small changes,This change needs to happen at the capacitors.I ordered Clarity Cap ESA as with their SA caps they are ruler flat and don't favor upper mids and highs. | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore One of the things Eric recommended seriously helped the problem.The speakers where tipped back 10mm raised at the front spikes,leveling them removed a load of glare and reduced some of the sibilance !He also gave me some other ideas, more later.Er... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Sibilance you won't find it with every recording.Play some of the recordings I recommended,also if you remove the driver and look at the caps in your X over,you'll see that they are oblong not round and this means a higher ESR possibly masking/hid... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore By the way Dynamat and fiberglass serves two different purposes.The fiber glass absorbs and defuses the rear wave coming off the back of the driver cone and keeps the driver from ringing from directly reflected out of phase sound waves.The dynamat... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore That forward guitar sound is just what I'm talking about,try playing White Rabbit or Soak up the Sun and you will see what I mean.Not all female vocals will have this problem but recordings like Famous Blue Rain coat will point it out. A good read... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore The replacement caps where the Obbligato gold and Clarity Cap ESA and the shunting cap a Clarity Cap SA.The internal wire I used is Audison 14 awg. Silver and Sonus for the long run from the binding posts to the X over.I chose this wire because it... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I have owned my Lores for about 4 months now.I will start by saying they are a great speaker for the money.The thing they do best is well balanced bass and male vocals.I no longer need my Epos sub woofer($800.00) built for 2 channel down to 20hz.b... | |
| Audiocap PCU I have extensive listening time with Russian paper/oil caps and Alu/teflon vs. the audio cap thea and can say all of the oil filled caps seem to roll off the top end dramatically.I have several 2 way Superex ST pro B headphones I have loved for mo... |
