Petecow thanks for the input about the Tektons. I am considering both the Lore and the LoreR, can you go into a little more detail about the difference between them?
My personal experience with the two pairs of speakers is pretty simple.
I received the Reference first and was extremely pleased with how they had so much detail.
Snare drums were slamming and high notes would sparkle.
When the larger Lores showed up I was all giddy thinking about the next step up.
Nope, they sounded muddy and not anywhere near as good as the Reference, bummer.
Until...........I cranked up the volume a bit.
Holy smokes they came alive.
So I guess thats it, the Lore for rocking out and the Ref for lower volume (not that they wont play loud.) they do.
