Zu Omen or Tekton Lore

Still no one w/ M-Lore's?

I know Eric is busy building them, the two reviews out there have driven orders, but so few user comments...

FWIW, I have ordered Lore's (patiently awaiting their arrival), but still I wonder if the smaller driver of the M-Lore doesn't produce a purer, more articulate mid-range?

"Hard to take a company serious that lists a speaker's price without grilles."

Hmmm, not sure what that means??
I see you are looking for Zu speakers. As someone who has owned both I suggest you take Tekton seriously.

If I remember correctly, grills for Lore's are $70 + $20 for shipping (they are packed separate from the speaker to prevent damage).

Sure it hurts to pay extra for them (I did), but if one doesn't want them it's nice to know they're saving that money. Works both ways.

Well, after a week of album rolling with the new binding posts
I can make a final comment on the Lores ability to preform with upgrades as time and money fits.
By far my advise is to leave the inductors as they are 18 awg. and the DC resistance is part of Erics formula for great bass extension.It is not easy to remove the cross over so if possible replace the caps,resistors and internal wire at the same time.I have been in these speakers a lot rolling caps and upgraded everything but the inductors. I would save the posts for last but they do make a difference so don't count them out.
What is the end result after so much time and soldering.
A far more detailed and smoother Lore with a fuller,richer sound that I can describe as both Dynamic and Lush.
The Lores respond very well to being upgraded, and go well beyond another level of music reproduction.
Some of the most revered brands offer upgrades for example Audio Note UK has levels of upgrades so it doesn't mean you bought bad speakers just because they can be improved on!
Whats nice is that the Design and driver selection by Eric is so good it can be taken to another level at a reasonable cost.Some speakers just don't respond much no matter how much time and money you put into them, the Lores respond to every upgrade.So Happy Soldering guy's! Build your own Hot Rod Lore and Enjoy the results!
