I'm offering up my brand new pair of the highly rated Tekton Lore speakers. I am the original owner, and just took delivery of them on Feb. 8th (cost me $1,100). I have unexpected medical bills to pay off from a hospital visit back in September, which is the only reason I have to sell my pair. They are absolutely in mint condition, just as received from Tekton in Utah. I can send them back, but @$150+ for shipping and a hefty restocking fee, I hope someone can take advantage of these. My loss, your musical gain!

These are great sounding speakers that I regret selling.  If you are looking for a musical, dynamic, high efficiency pair of speakers with a crossover less full range driver, these are it. Any power amp will power these Lores to full volume, but these sure like a low powered tube amp!

I have the original boxes. They are in new condition, barely broken in. Avoid the wait time for them!

Asking $875, plus any shipping and paypal fees, if applicable.  Of course local pickup is encouraged, in Naples, Maine, 04055.

Specs:
10" full range transducer
Audax "gold" super tweeter
Height - 39" Width - 12" Depth - 13"
Weight - 55 lbs.
Efficiency - 98db 1W@1m
Freq Response - 30Hz to 30KHz
200W Power Handling
Mfg in the USA

I'm sorry to hear that you're in a situation that you need to sell these speakers.

This is a great opportunity for someone to purchase a a pair of highly regarded Lore's without the wait and at a discounted price.  Not to mention that given their age the new owner gets to enjoy the sound open up as they break in.

Here's a bump for a nice guy with marginal taste in hockey teams !

Thanks for nice words Brettio!  Well, other than dissing my #2 in the NHL Blackhawks! 

The Lores have maybe 50 hours on them, and they already have opened up quite a bit!  They are stupid good for the $$. I really like how they sound!

As a fellow Lore owner for the past several years, I can absolutely validate that these speakers are stupid good for the money.  However, I did want to correct one little detail in the post. These are not crossover less on the full range driver.  Trust me, having rebuilt my crossovers by hand with premium parts (which goes a long long way with these speakers), this is a full 2 way crossover design.  I know some of the forum posts about these have speculated over the years about them being crossover less on the main driver, but they're wrong.  Nowhere has the manufacturer stated that.  I think it probably has to do with their similar design approach to some Zu speakers, and Zu does run their modified Eminence drivers full range and without crossover.

I'm not trying to criticize the speaker in any way with this post.  I actually think it's a superior design decision over the Zu speakers given the peakiness in the Eminence driver as it breaks up at higher frequencies. And like I said, I'm a long time satisfied owner of the Lore and highly recommend it.  But I just wanted to correct a bit of misinformation.
