In Reply to: RE: Zu Soul Supreme sensitivity posted by rockdoc on May 25, 2017 at 13:28:39
There was a thread over on Audiokarma I believe. Not just about the Zu but Tekton designs also. The sensitivity on some of Tektons speakers were sever db below the advertised specifications. Some are complaining of false advertising. I ordered a pair Of Tekton Lores before I saw this thread. I was planning on running the Lores on 8 watts of tube power. I hope it is enough.....
Follow Ups:
I'm running my Lores with ~21 watts of SET power (300BXLS output tubes), and they will play stupid loud. Unless you like to play rock at 105 dB in a huge room, I'd bet your 8 watts will be plenty. Note that the *perceived* sensitivity will increase as they break in. I have to say that the Lores were the most awful sounding speakers I've ever heard when I first hooked them up. 50 hours later and they were a completely different speaker, and continued to improve up to the 200 (or so) hour mark.
Thanks for the heads up. I will let them break in thoroughly before making any judgments. I have made the mistake in the past with other speakers and cartridges of not giving them sufficient time to break in
I have a friend who powers his Lores with a MiniWatt amp at 2.5 watts per channel. I trust his ear and he says it sounds surprisingly good. FWIW, this is his secondary casual set-up, but he's quite satisfied. I think you'll be fine to say the least, especially if your 8 watt amp is a 300B SET.
I run my M-lores on 8-10 watts: its plenty ! I've also used 4-5 watts for some chamber music, and its fine. Enjoy your new speakers.
