| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I was able to take apart the driver according to Eric's instructions and push out the dents in the dome. It's not perfect, but pretty close. Driver's back in place and working well at this point. I will probably want to replace the diaphragm and v... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Well, I had a graduation party last weekend at my house for a friend, and his 3 year old saw some shiny gold bits on my speakers. Guess what happened next... ;)So, one of the audax tweeters has some pretty sizeable dimples in it now. Luckily I don... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Wow, those Mundorfs are quite quite pricey! Any thoughts about mixing caps? I could probably afford the smaller Mundorf caps, but what if I went for a cheaper option on the larger caps? I don't have experience with different sounds of different ca... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Thanks for sharing, Rocky! I've been interested in playing with the crossover based on Goraman's experiments, so it's great to hear Eric has some recommendations along those lines. I need to call him. Can you share the details of the caps and resi... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore All very important to keep in mind, Goraman. I'm glad you made those points. The trouble for me, as I've been down that road of tweaking things when I needed to make a significant change, is that you don't know what you don't know. This is probabl... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I ordered mine in early March of last year, and didn't receive them until the first week of April. Granted, I had a special veneer that took some extra time. Eric was pretty up-front about being patient, but it did take a little more time than he ... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I don't disagree with Goraman's comments about amps and other switching around not making more than minor differences, compared to what changing speakers offers in the equation. However, I would say that sometimes for me that 1% difference is all ... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Floosh, yeah I've had an initial foray into amp experimentation. I have an Onix SP3 playing for the past two weeks. It has the recommended upgraded tubes - Groove Tubes 12AX7, Electro Harmonix 6922, SED Flying C 6L6GC.My other amp I had been using... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I would say the Lore-S has effortless detail, soundstage depth to spare, and a good warmth. Lore has the dynamics and can fill a room more, though. I was persuaded by the idea of pursuing greater detail from the Lore via Goraman's upgrade approach... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore +1 on Floosh's comment about tweaks, Goramon. I do want to move forward with those tweaks, but am not very confident with my soldering skills and also would want some details on component ordering. Great summary and suggestions though. I'm left wo... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Thanks for chiming in, Wind. Good to see another person's thoughts on the Lore-S. Eric has developed a pretty interesting range of speakers here, and it's good to know how they might compare to each other. We're still missing some Lore and M-Lore ... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Well, I also forgot to mention that I didn't find the Lore-S very sensitive to interconnects or speaker cable swapping, not as much as the Lore is. I have the copper version of Sweet Reveal cables from Tuan over on Audiocircle and some level two M... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I forgot one last set of thoughts. I find the placement of the Lore pretty sensitive to very small changes and kind of hard to get the right balance of center fill and soundstage width/depth. When you get it right, it's really good, but it takes w... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Wow, this thread has gone really quiet lately! Thought I'd try to bring it back to life a bit with some final thoughts about the Lore vs. Lore-S comparison.I now have my original Lores back in the house after a couple weeks of giving the Lore-S a ... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Hey Rischa, glad to hear you're giving them a go. I don't think you'll be disappointed. A word of advice to make sure and mess with placement a good bit. They sounded great to me out of the box and without toying with placement to a great degree, ... |
