I have been following this thread for sometime now. Out of curiosity - how do the Lores compare to the Zu Essence? I have never experienced a single driver speaker before. But some of you guys have made some interesting remarks here. BTW, both the Zu and Tektons have a tweeter + "another driver". So why are they called "single driver" speakers? Maybe I am missing something. Can someone throw some light on this?

The main driver runs full range without a crossover, covering 30hz-12khz. The supertweeter then has a capacitor and resistor inline from the main driver ensuring it fills in the highs from 12-20khz. Not a traditional 2 way design but maybe 1.5way!
