My writing skills are not that great and I certainly lack the ability to convey my impressions of audio gear in the manner of a reviewer but I'll give it a try.
The M-Lore seems to be a perfect fit for a small to medium room. Efficient at 95dB they play effortlessly at any volume without the need for mega-watt amps. Very smoth sounding with plenty of bass output I could never imagine the need for a subwoofer in my music room with these speakers for any kind of music. They have, for lack of a better term, what I would call an "old fashioned sound" as opposed to the etched "analytical" sound that you'll hear with many modern speakers.
I attribute at least part of their charm to the lack of a complex crossover. I've always been intrigued by what a properly designed simple full-range speaker, (with a little help on the top end from a civilized soft dome tweeter) would sound like, and this is it. No amplifier power is wasted, no crazy impedence swings (it's pretty much 8 ohms across the spectrum) allow these speakers to play well with almost any amplifier you might match them with from a small SET to a SS behemoth.
I listen to all genres of music: rock, jazz, folk and classical in that order. I'll have to say that they seem to be more in their element with rock and jazz that classical, but that could just my taste coming into play. My wife listens to a lot of unamplified vocal and string music, she's very critical of speakers, and she loves the M-Lore.
I don't know what went into Eric Alexander's design process when he came up with these (perhaps the K.I.S.S. principle), but they sound way better than they have any right to sound for what he's charging for them. I odered mine in gloss "Rosso Corsa" (Ferrari racing red) and with the optional grilles. The finish is superb, like that of a very high priced automoble, and the grilles 'civilize' the speakers for the necessary WAF along with keeping inquisitive fingers away from the soft dome tweeters.
They really must be heard to be believed. If you're ever in the western Colorado area contact me. You're invited to visit my home for a listen.
In closing, I want to stress that I am in no way involved with Tekton Design or its owner, Eric Alexander. There are no ulterior motives here, I'd just like to brag about my new speakers and perhaps get the word out to the rest of the audio community.
