I just acquired a mint used pair of Lores with the Audax tweeter. Powering for now with an Onkyo tx-nr809 receiver set to pure audio mode which bypasses all the digital processing and tone controls. Running though an older NAD dvd/cd player and a Schiit Modi Dac. All I can say wow!!!! The speakers cost me $500 the dac $150 the receiver $150 and the dvd player $50. I’ve had higher end gear in the past - Doge, Monarchy Audio, Jolida…. and yes is it better but not be a whole lot and definitely not worth 3x the cost. These speakers are very musical at low volumes through loud levels and everything in between. Best $500 I’ve spent on speakers period!!!!!
