| New Speaker for Under 5K I'd suggest taking a look at the Tekton Pendragons or perhaps a pair of Zu Definition Mk IIIs (if they have any available, you might come close to your 5K budget). The Tekton's are a real full-range speaker, sound great with all types of music, an... | |
| Speakers for newbie I agree with Tbromgard and the Tektons. I have a pair of the m-lores I bought for surround speakers a few weeks ago, but I am enjoying listening to them as my main speakers. If you have a large room, the Lores would be a good choice. I have the m-... | |
| Looking to get started. please help As has been stated up above, for speakers, I can't see going with anything but a pair of Tekton m-Lore speakers. I just bought a pair a few weeks ago for surround speakers in my home theater, and was shocked at just how good they are. Nothing can ... | |
| Zu Omen Def's, Tekton Pendragon SEAS, or Omega's? I have also owned 2 pairs of Zu Omen Defs and the Pendragon (non-SE version). I am pretty sure the Pendragons would overload that small room. If you want to stay with Tekton, you might consider the Lore (I hava a pair of M-Lores, and they are terr... | |
| Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps? Jamesw20,I had an HT system consisting of 2 pairs of Omen Defs and an Omen center, all powered by Wyred 4 Sound amps (3 SX-1000 monos for the front 3, pair of SX-500s for the rear). It sounded fantastic (everyone that came by to hear was floored b... | |
| MARANTZ AV8003 Networking Preamplifier I owned it and then purchased the AV7005. I think the 8003 sounded better, though the Audessey in the 7005 was better. It depends on what you are looking for. The 8003 is built much better in my opinion. The 7005 does have more networking features... | |
| 7.1 SETUP Looking into the Tekton options, in your size room, I would recommend the Lore as your main speakers, and the m-lore as the surround. I have a very large room (35' x 15' x 8') and I am using the m-lore as surround speakers and they are excellent. ... | |
| D-Sonic, Wyred4Sound or NewClear Monoblocks? I have only heard (and own) the Wyred 4 Sound monos. I have both the SX-1000s and the new mAMPS. Unless you really need the extra power, I would recommend the mAMPS over the SX-1000s. The mAMPS have a better top end (more detail and air, yet not h... | |
| Tyler Acoustics I can't give you a direct comparison of the speakers you mention, but I did own the Tyler D1s for about 3 years. Fantastic speakers, and I only got rid of them as my wife and I started fostering small children, and the desire to 'push on those shi... | |
| Von Schweikert VR33 Speakers I haven't heard the Von Schweikerts in a known environment, so I won't comment on those. But I have owned 2 pairs of Zu Omen Defs and now a pair of Definition MK IIIs. I would not say the Zus are bright at all, but as Roscoeiii pointed out, they g... | |
| How would you complete this system? I'd think some Tekton Lores or Zu Omen speakers would fit nicely in that room. Both are very good with all types of music, are not super fussy with placement, and would easily fill that room with your amp. Both are currently $1000/pair, which woul... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Thanks to Phil's terrific reviews and explanations of differences in the various Zu line of speakers, I took Morgan's Def IIIs off of his hands (bottom feeder here!). They are absolutely fantastic, a huge jump up from the Omen Defs (I just have to... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup As a new owner of a pair of Def IIIs, I was wondering if you all leave the bass amps on all the time, or do you switch them off after listening? I talked to Sean and he said either way was fine. | |
| Tekton Pendragon Audition in SF Bay Area? I'm not sure why you were told the Zus would not be good for a home theater (perhaps the Superflys would not, I have not heard them in a theater setting). But I had a pair of Omen Defs that was used for both 2 channel and a home theater setup and ... | |
| Class D with Tyler Acoustics I'm a little late here, but I used Wyred amps (ST-1000, SX-500 and SX-1000 monos) on Tyler D1s and Linbrook SuperTowers with great success. I ran the amps directly from the Wyred DAC 2. I know of several Agon members that have also used Wyred amps... |
