Tekton Lore vs. M-Lore

I'm interested in buying Tekton speakers and I'd like to know if anyone has listened to both the Lore and the M-Lore. If so, what are the differences between the two? Does the M-Lore sacrifice any of the clarity, depth, or musicality of the Lore? I plan on supplementing the speakers with a subwoofer so I'm wondering if it's still worth it to spend an additional $350 on the Lore ($350 is roughly 30% more when taking into account the cost of veneers, grills, and shipping). I know Lore have an upgraded tweeter but does it really warrant the additional cost? It appears that some people even prefer the tweeter in the M-Lore to the gold tweeter in the Lore.

I will temporarily be using the speakers in an 11 x 15 room but I plan on moving in the near future so room size shouldn't factor into the decision too much. Thanks in advance for your help.

I've read two professional reviews online (both gave outstanding reviews) but they don't answer my questions regarding comparisons to the Lore. I was hoping someone on this forum has listened to both and could perhaps offer their opinion.

Have you spoken with Eric at Tekton? My experience is that he'll give you an honest assessment of the differences between the two speakers based on your equipment and listening and won't just try to sell the more expensive speaker.

Eric recommended the M-Lore for my application but I was still interested in seeing if anyone else had done a comparison. If the general sentiment is "there will be no difference when you run them with a sub", then I would go with the M-Lore. If users say "the tweeter in the Lore offers much clearer highs and the driver is a clear step up from the M-Lore driver" then I would consider going with the Lore.

Hi all ! If Eric steered you to the M-Lore that says alot . However , if you are moving to a larger place go with the Lore...smaller or equal ,go with the M-Lore . I use the Lores in approx 13 x 17 space ,I have a sub .... I just dont use it . Hope this helps . I would usually ask about power but with either one it wont matter unless you have less than 10 wpc . Btw ...matching the speakers to the room is more important than anything .

Thanks Brad, it looks like I'll go for the M-Lore and add a sub.
