Still rockin' my stock (no upgrades) Lores in the man-cave, and M-lores in the family system. No urge to upgrade here. As I write this, I'm listening to the Classic Records mono reissue of Jackie MacLean's "Swing Swang Swingin'" on the Lores. The music is dead center between the speakers, which are about 8' apart. Sounds sublime to me.
As for the Beck affiliation, I couldn't care less. I'm a Liberal myself, but I don't see what that has to do with speakers.
I told Eric that when I find a brand I like, I'm pretty loyal. I'm sure my next pair of speakers will be Tektons.
