Tekton Lore-S

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.

I am now operating a Red Wine Signature 15 amp and Tekton Lore-s speakers. After I finally figured out there was slight short in the line input of the amp, that was tremendously detrimental to the sonics and sound stage (sneaky little twit - only certain recording were affected - no static just subtle loss of power), I am really blown away by the combination. I have never heard better Coltrane and Davis. Also female vocals and harmony (American Beauty, Workings man dead, CSNY, Dixie Chicks, etc are staggering good - ice music taste- huh. While Led Zeplin, Springsteen are good, badl recorded or re-mastered material can be an issue. Beatles, McCartney are wonderful. The whole set up cost me about $2000. Sound for Sound, best music setup I'vs had. Though my Dunlavy IV and CJ Monos wih Wadia were pretty special. Hope this helps those looking for input;

hello all,
   I am a new owner of a pair of the Lore S speakers.  The only thing that I would like to hear is a little more bass.  Speakers are built like tanks and sound so crisp and clear- just need a bit more bass. Any suggestions? Thanks all.      Sarge

What amp are you using and what kind of room? 

Hi sko, thanks for your reply. Its simply a 2 channel set up using a Denon 3300 avr. (It delivers 105w per channel into 8 ohms). Think I will need a subwoofer?
