Tekton Owners Thread

Bob in WI said:
I had a brief conversation with Eric yesterday (he was cleaning paint guns while we spoke) & he confirmed that the Lore S would be most suitable for our situation. I pulled the trigger & ordered a pair (satin grey) this evening. I really have to get the living room remodelling complete so I can get the stereo set up again. Its going to make me nuts if the speakers arrive & I can't give a listen. I'm excited to hear what the reviewers have been praising so effusively.

I'm sure you will love them but, if you don't.. there is always the return option. I'm sure you won't be needing to use it though.
 
It may be 30 days before I get the living room completed properly so I'm not sure I'll be able to take advantage of that option - but obviously, I'm not anticipating using it. Is there any process to break in? Can I just leave the speakers on playing softly or do they need to be at normal volume level? I'm getting pretty pumped about this.
 
Congratulations Bob! You know all of us Tekton fans are excited for you. I'll be looking forward to hearing your impressions.

My Lores sounded great right out of the box. I'm not sure they've made a drastic change since. I've just played music through them for hours at a time, sometimes various levels but most of my listening is sorta low volume. Just enjoy the music I say.
 
Bob

One way to do it is to have them facing each other close together. Wire one of the speakers out of phase, cover them with blankets to muffle the sound and let them play. The farther you can get them from your BR the better. I have done that with several pair. Most of the time I just used "white noise" from a tuner.
 
Thanks for the break in ideas. The Lore S were painted today & shipping tomorrow. Even if they come by mule train, they'll be here well before the living room is complete. I asked Eric to sign the backs - don't know if he'll do that but my wife thought it would be cool & I agree. Anticipation.....
 
Shouldn't take that long even by mule from Utah to Wisconsin. If you let them just run a week with noise you should be good to go, so crank them up during construction. Even though I have another speaker on my radar as a secondary, the Lore S is tempting to try and see what they are.

If they come by mule train I may go outlaw on you and intercept them. I'm pretty sure I have an amp to do them justice. :yes:

HEY - leave my mules alone!! I'm pretty sure my Onkyo Integra pair will make them sing beautifully. If they could drive the Vandersteens..........
 
When Eric mentions a "proprietary transducer" from Eminence it's probably based on a standard driver already in production but with some added tweaks.

Eminence, located in Eminence Kentucky, is the world's largest speaker manufacturer.
 
Bob's Lore S have been in their boxes waiting for Bob to finish the living room so he can set up the stereo. This state of affairs is causing Bob undue anguish & he is endeavoring to finish the damn room as soon as possible. He is at the "paint the trim" before installing phase and with his crappy carpentry skills, this will take some time. Room looks great so far tho.

Bob is driving us nuts but making us wait. We need to live vicariously through Bob.

Wow, can't believe you haven't unboxed them and fired them up in another room. Talk about willpower:D

I do this all the time. There is something about just possessing something that quells the urge to set it up. It's like just cause I have it I'm content... Does that make me weird?

For anyone that is confused about all the models of Lore's that Eric is offering, he made a pretty nice blog post last week breaking it all down. Here's the link.

I'd still have trouble deciding between the Lore, Lore S, and the Ref. Lore. Without listening to them it would be pretty much a crap shoot as to choosing the right model. I'm afraid I would always feel like I had made the wrong decision no matter how much I liked the model I bought.
