"GPowered: which cables are you using?"I am using JW Audio Reference Interconnects and speaker cable. They are cryo treated and cooked solid core copper. Hit Zman up if you want to demo. They are simply the best I have ever heard and not expensive...

Guys - since we are on the subject of cables, do yourselves justice and hit ZMAN up. His cables are simply THE BEST I have heard with the Tektons. This is not an advertisement for him - it is down right silly to not try as he is one of our brother...

Thanks for the great info. Wow, you have really been through a journey. Curious: what are you running on the front end (source, pre, amp, etc.). Wondering how much of this is related to that or the room, etc. I say this because I never experienced...

MrKoven - I am not sure if anybody here has a m-lore yet? Anybody...? The m-lore has certainly been overlooked, but with 2 spectacular reviews now, obviously it has slipped under the radar (though that is about to change). I owned Lores prior to u...

In general, all things equal, more power = more control. But it is also true that the lower power SETS and class A tube amps may give you a sweeter, more "romantic" type of sound but at the expense of headroomm, spl, etc. You should be fine.

Gooddomino - fo to JW audio (zman;'s website). And try out some of his cables. You want to detail; you will have it. :)The best cables I have heard in my system, period!

Impressive review, Socrates! Thank you for your time and dedication to writing that up. I think what you have described is essentially the capstone of audio loudspeaker design, particularly in the type of transducer technology, voicing and ultimat...

The Lores will be fine for that type of music, but even better with your live rock recordings. I don't listen to MEtallica per say anymore, but I do listen to mostly rock and some harder stuff. The Lores a definitely not too soft and certainly not...

Thanks for posting. Yes we have beem following your blog. So what do you think so far. My Pendragons broke in fast because this time I used a 200 watt ss amp to do the job. So are you getting strong dynamics and bass with 3 watts? The 4 ohm varian...

And I call the next speaker to be a a Seas based Pendragon! No offical word of it but I would assume that's next on the radar. As for me, I really like the "live" music sound of the Pro drivers. It's hard to go back to "toy" audio after getting us...

Von Schweikert VR-33
If the 33 is anything like my former VR4 Jr, then it will want at least 100 watts for maximum output performance. That is not to say your amp won't work though because it might sound great at low to moderate... maybe even slightly loud volumes... ...

Guys - I wouldn't be concerned about the cross-over. Eric uses a very simple approach, and the Lore is crossed over very high (around 3khz). Not sure about he M-lore but I think I rememer Eric telling me it is similar. Lets not get trapped into th...

Morganc - I have the 11 watt class A Xindak MT-01. With good tubes it is a perfect match in my mid-sized room. I also have a 200 watt Marsh A400s - great for rocking out and wanting some incredible dynamics and a powerful low end, but the tube amp...
