I received the Lores a few weeks ago and am very impressed with their performance.

My room has poor bass due to room dimensions so I have added my REL Strata III sub, crossed over at a low frequency to avoid muddying the bass of the Lores. I find this fills in the low bass frequencies, impact, and weight very nicely. A subwoofer could be the remedy for those who like more bass.

Eric also mentioned to me that the sound of the Lore is often helped by putting them on hard platforms. This raises the drivers to a better position in relation to ear height for better coherence plus other benefits. My Lores were on a carpeted suspended floor and I put them on concrete flat blocks I already had from Home Depot. As a result, I now have deeper tighter bass, much better clarity, much better spatial information, etc. I found this to be a very significant improvement, providing much more of a "you are there" experience, and recommend this especially if you do not have a hard floor. Precise placement is needed to achieve the optimum spatial benefits. Precise in that 1/16" seems to make a difference. I assume there is better sounding material than concrete, but it is a very inexpensive way to test the benefit of this concept, just a few dollars. Plus I think it looks nice with my Lores in white satin.
