Zu Omen or Tekton Lore

@ Morganc,
I will ask Eric tommorrow as i head down unfamiliar territory once again. Front ports sound awesome to me. And nowadays listen to less Psychedelic Trance and more Yundi LI and yo yo ma.-Its SF, i listen to some hippie weirdo stuff !
I do however rock out and blow my windows out.
The Lore is very tempting, but refinement is actually what i really want.
Again my top runners before i stumbled upon the Tektons were:
Cremona M - second hand
Paradigm S8v 3 - second hand
Focal 836 w- new never heard
Legacy audio classic HD - heard it was good match with my amp.

I was looking into the Pendragons as a speaker for my home office/ den. It is starting to have room treatments and bass traps for a better sound. 25 x 15 small room
Speakers I was actually looking into the Sonus Faber Cremona M, as i already have a liuto and love the sound it produces.
VR 33, as it can be on the back wall-cant beat that! and also not so hi fi sounding-more of a club venue/live performance.
Paradigm S8v3.-going to hear them later. Proac 18 - tube lover for smaller rooms. outside contenders are legacy classic HD, Focal 836w and lawrece audio violins- never heard em but have high sensitivity as well.
I always try to follow the rule of thumb in audio.
Main source is CD/computer/ipod=Ayon CD 07.=2-3k, Amp is Ayon Spirit 3=4-5k, speakers Where the brunt usually is 4-10k. I have tried in the past year to use lower priced High Value speakers, but they always come up short. I am just afraid of pulling the trigger again on a speaker that is hyped up from advertisement money. Albeit tekton is as often spoken as a Kia.-not a big name
I am not a bass freak , tight and controlled is fine , lower registers probably not use to it.Ive tried 1.7 and it sounded really tweaky and missing anything in the lower registers unless driven. Golden Ear - NOPE not for me-moved my neighbors to hate me with its woolyness. Martin Logan source- not well implemented from the lows to highs. These speakers has to be on the top of anybody's list and made stereophiles recommended list in the 2-2.5k arena.

After reading all these glorious post of a $700 speaker, i am really intrigued at this particular brand. I would like to further know more about them from owners and not paid writers , which i now want to unsubscribe from stereophile. As i am learning that unless u have 50k to spend audio heaven is in your next life.

@Sebrof,
The M lores price correction 650! I think the Lores will suffice as the Pendragons are a wee bit overkill, but at that price of 2500 its hard to pass up a full range speaker. And if the posts are right, this is like a major audio deal.

@Morganac,

thanks for the invite i will cordially accept. Other than this weekend as i am heading to Tahoe to look for the now elusive snow! I was looking at the Lore S as well. I do believe that the Pendragons might be tad to big and bassy for me, but i can switch them out with main set in the living room. I love full range speakers and every speaker that i threw out seems to be more HI Fi in nature. The last to go was the triton 2 very bass heavy and was impossible to control, also the neighbors were not happy with them at all.
THe past year i went through 2 speakers which i coulden't live with the Tritons and the Mag 1.7. I did go to another audiogoner place to try the VR 33 not hi fi sounding to me. but i left uncertain as it seemed to want more power than the Ayons can give. So the high DB of the tektons and price to performance ratio are very enticing. I was going to order a new set of interconnects and spk cables as well, and together they are more expensive than the Lore!
choices i decided - and be free to comment or advise are
morrow audio MA4 balanced-tried their cheapest and it killed the Kimber PBJ and Audioquest in all areas.
Black cat- as Socrates seems to like em.
Virtue Audio- cheapest of the bunch , but stereomojo loves em and i like mojo because they advertise what i like most-heh heh heh if u get the drift
And last but not least skyline 1200 as a few reported its like amazing in all areas.- but expensive
ive given up on all BRANDED way insane prices of the staple stuff.
PS its the first time im actually spending money on cables as i never had any left after spending on the back and front end of a system.-so exciting!!!

Back from the un-snow mtn's of Tahoe. Seems to me the Lores will suffice but hate regretting. So morganc here i come ready or not! - i just emailed you and waiting for the reply
Pendragon-Even the name suggests too much POWER !
