Zu Omen or Tekton Lore

Jedinite - I don't believe the numbers add up to support what you're saying. I've seen very few for sale, and of the 3 I listed earlier 2 are planning to buy Tekton again after they sell.
I have seen many more Omens for sale (including mine), although I'm sure there have been many more Omens sold than Lores.
I do agree with what you said about "initially were really excited like when anyone buys something new, raves about them, and then when that newness wears off they buy something else." This will never change. To many, this hobby is all about buying and selling, trying new things.

My personal opinion about you not buying into the hype - You may have lost out on experiencing a really good speaker that is hard to beat for the price.

FWIW - I think it's important for people like cwazz to post and check/balance the banter, else these forums would be no more than advertizing for your latest purchase. If you look at my posts back in April I was trying to check the Tekton homers, until I got a pair for myself.

Anyone here a speaker builder? My favorite thing to do is to find lost gems that sound better than the price might indicate. I am currently building a set for a friend. I actually am using the same tweeter used in the m-more. Very nice for the price and also using a low cost 10inch woofer. My friends is on a budget and so far the system sounds great. He came over and listened to it. He said his brother just bought a bose system and the setup I'm building just blows away his brothers system. I know! Most of use know Bose just is not very good. But it was neat to see a non audiophile hear a non box store set of speakers and hear the difference.

I shot a frequnecy response yesterday and the crossover does need some refinement, but so far so good.

Well said Sebrof. Very good observation.

like i posted many times before ,, i like my lores i bought the bubinga finish ,, very sharp looking , but ..but the measurements that are posted on the website do not add up , im talking about the low end , they are fine speakers , it is just some went off on how they are worth 10x the price , i did not get that statement then and still dont . saying all that i am keeping my lores , im not selling them off for the next great thing to come along .i just laugh when you here someone make these unbeleiveable claims about any product . thats what i was talking about when i mentioned ,,the hype about these speakers.

Cpapace, I've built some speakers and really enjoyed it. Next on my list was a full range + tweeter, like the speakers being discussed here.

But when you price out the parts to build them, including Eminence full-range drivers, tweeters, "crossover" parts, cabinet materials, veneer, misc. hardware, and so on, you realize that these folks are not making much money selling these things for $800-1000. Compared to many commercial builds, you really get a lot of raw materials for your money.
