Ive been wrestling with the same decision. But I am looking to build a HT 5.1 and now Tekton offer a bookshelf that I can use for surround. The vandy bookshelves are expensive, heavy and hard to find in the used market. By the way agree with the comments about John R, great fellow and salesman. He will show you around his store with not pressure.
Tekton Lore ...... compare with Vandy 1C
I'm loving my Vandersteen 1C's, but am thinking of MAYBE trying a new speaker at a similar price point. Please look at my system, and let me know if the Tekton Lore would offer a significant change, and if that change would be an improvement. Yes, I know that I can have a 30 day trial with the Lore, but before doing so, I want to see what you guys and gals think. Most of my listening is 1950's - 1960's small ensemble jazz, jazz and folk/rock vocals, and acoustic music. 65 % vinyl, 35 % CD's. Thanks a lot.
