I've had my M-Lore's for going on three years and remain completely satisfied with them. I originally was going to order the Lore's, but after discussing my situation with Eric Alexander I took his advice and ordered a pair of M-Lore's because of the small size of my room. I was not disappointed in the least, and saved some money to boot.

Many potential buyers are scared away by their relatively low price, but don't let that fool you. Eric's direct to the customer business model and no frills entry level pricing structure allows the buyer to realize a heck of a lot more bang for the buck than do more traditional marketing methods. I opted for the gloss Rosso Corso (Ferrari racing red) finish over the standard satin black finish and specified the optional grilles, both of which added (at the time) about $200 to the bottom line, but the finish is really beautiful and really adds 'pop' to my music room.

I'm not a reviewer and have no pretenses of being one so I'll do my best to describe what I think of them in plain English. The M-Lore's are pretty efficient - about 95dB IIRC - so they can easily be driven with a low wattage amplifier, although I drive mine with a 100wpc Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum integrated (KT120 output tubes). The impedance is rated at 8 ohms and is pretty flat across the board, which makes these speakers a very easy load to drive for just about any amplifier that's out there.

Their sound is unlike that of any of its competition. It's not like the typical "audiophile" speaker at all! It's warm and powerful, without a hint of silibance or grating throughout the audio spectrum but it's not at all polite. Not by any means! When I first heard them I thought "this is what live music really sounds like!" It's not some "high end" designers idea of what a home loudspeaker should sound like sitting in some tweed wearing, pipe smoking, sherry sipping gent's parlor playing chamber music. If that's you the M-Lore's are probably not what you're looking for.

The rave review found in the Stereomojo website does a great job of describing what this speaker really is. Of course if that's not what you're looking for - it's horses for courses.

I hope this is helpful,
Al
