| Tekton Design Lore I'd like to weigh in on running the Lores with solid state and what might sound good for $1500 or less. I've had the Lores for 5 years now. My amps have included the Crown XLS2000, Nuprime STA9 and the current amp is the Parasound Halo A23. My ... | |
| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc No doubt I'm a little biased as I currently have a Crown XLS2000 for sale, but here are my observations after 4 years of use:- massive soundstage, very wide but only moderately deep- very powerful low end - top end is not sibilant but also not ... | |
| Emotiva BasX TA-100 integrated or BasX PT-100 preamp sound quality Why not go ahead and buy the Emotiva BasXTA100 and at the same time, also buy the NAD3020v2 and the NuForce DDA120..both in a similar price range, both highly rated, both available and easily returnable from Audio Advisors and let the sound in you... | |
| What is considered a "standard" percentage of devaluation per year foor high end speakers? I think you also have to look at value from the buyers perspective:1. How much shipping am I going to have to pay2. What has been the average time a similar loudspeaker has taken to resell...as an example on audigon3. How well known and reviewe... | |
| What would you choose for about $1k, ZU DW, SVS Ultra bookshelf or Tekton Lore? I think you will really enjoy the Zu's especially for providing that "you are there, live music sound". Make sure you give them a couple hundred hours of burn in time to really smooth out the midrange and get the bass flowing. If they are at all... | |
| What would you choose for about $1k, ZU DW, SVS Ultra bookshelf or Tekton Lore? One thing I didn't mention...Originally I had the Lores in a 3500 cubic foot room...they could easily do 95 db at the listening position 12' back with plenty of toneful low end and balance overall without a subwoofer...probably using less than 30 ... | |
| What would you choose for about $1k, ZU DW, SVS Ultra bookshelf or Tekton Lore? With the bookshelves and the maggies, you will definitely need a sub in a room that big. There are lots of fans of the Zu and same for the Lore. You have a pretty big room and I suspect that the Lore will have a better low end just based on revie... | |
| Tekton custom grills @Aniwolfe I think this is a valid suggestion and this is what I did when I ordered the Lores from Tekton....and yes they asked me a couple of times if they could just ship the speakers and I declined and shortly thereafter, speakers and grills we... | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... It seems pretty clear that Eric made the effort to “make things right”. And it seems pretty obvious that swapping the speakers or the drivers were the preferred solutions. All companies have problems at one point or another... the key is what hap... | |
| Tekton Lore vs. M-Lore @3402 I've owned the Lores for about 4 years now. I'm driving them with an oppo 103 into a parasound 2100 into a crown xls 2000....by all standards not a very high end front end. The sound the system produces can be described as tonal accurac... | |
| Hypex N core module If you look at the specs for a Merrill tarranis which uses an ncore module for class d output they show bandwidth to 50 kHz. If you look at the ps audio stellar 300 which uses an ice module and bandwidth to 50khz. The benchmark ahb2 is shown as a ... | |
| Hypex N core module In what would be considered a "relatively affordable price range"...what is that then differentiates the Nord Acoustics from a PS Audio Stellar 300 from a Merrill Audio Taranas from a Benchmark ABH2 as they all have been given accolades for great ... | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano It's pretty hard to understand how ohm can offer 120 days and silver line offer none... return option. It's pretty much understood that a great loudspeaker may sound less spectacular when you get it home. This is is the same problem you face with ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @agronatz Beyond price, we all have our top 3... the things we treasure most... such as clarity, imaging, huge soundstage, sounstage depth, soundtage height, dynamic impact, no stridency, etc, etc, etc.And, key for most of us, how to get the mos... | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano @kalali. What do you mean when you say the sound is too diffused. Are you describing excess ambiance...or lack of clarity...or reverb???? |
