like i posted many times before ,, i like my lores i bought the bubinga finish ,, very sharp looking , but ..but the measurements that are posted on the website do not add up , im talking about the low end , they are fine speakers , it is just some went off on how they are worth 10x the price , i did not get that statement then and still dont . saying all that i am keeping my lores , im not selling them off for the next great thing to come along .i just laugh when you here someone make these unbeleiveable claims about any product . thats what i was talking about when i mentioned ,,the hype about these speakers.
Cpapace, I've built some speakers and really enjoyed it. Next on my list was a full range + tweeter, like the speakers being discussed here.

But when you price out the parts to build them, including Eminence full-range drivers, tweeters, "crossover" parts, cabinet materials, veneer, misc. hardware, and so on, you realize that these folks are not making much money selling these things for $800-1000. Compared to many commercial builds, you really get a lot of raw materials for your money.
even if we all had the 'identical' make and model gear and played 'identical' sources we would not have identical outcomes. quite simply that is because of the differences in each of our individual situations. we have different rooms, different electrical circuits, etc., and we hear differently. our experience is our personal interaction with the 'objective' reality and the outcome is uniquely our own. it does not exist nor is it relevant without our perceptions. blessed is the person who has clarity of the factors that shape their own perspective and understand and actualize their own preferences without diminishing the validity of any other person's genuineness. i think if you are enjoying the music you must be enjoying your life. forgive my rant.
Here, here Wsifu!

And a quick response to Cwazz. It is true that some people can be over exited about a product. But I wll say that I've heard several speakers. And with out a doubt the lores or m-mores, and I've heard both are really very good for the money. Not that there are not other products that sound great at that price. But there are some pretty expensive speakers that in my humble opinion are over priced for what you get. I'm glad though that you are an owner and have personal experience with an opinion as opposed to someone who has an opinion on the sound without the experience of the speaker.

On building speakers it's addictive. Even if you build a great sounding speaker that you would be really pleased with keeping. There is always something about trying something different. Or seeing what you can do to improve. Much like owning a speaker. There is no perfect speaker.
