Hi all,
I'm sort of at a "cross roads". I've always wanted a pair of Magnepan Speakers however,
I'm always afraid to "pull the trigger" on the "Maggies" due to their unique properties
(power requirements, placement etc). Lately, I've been thinking, perhaps I should just purchase the (entry level) MMGi's for use with "smaller" music (if you will) to "scratch" that "Maggie" itch. However, this is when I start thinking about the the TEKTON DESIGN LORE Speakers which are listed as waaaay more efficient (98 db) which of course means that I could drive "LORE" with ease (using either my FISHER 400 or NAD C326 BEE) Amps). According to "reviews" the "LORE" will not only play louder (if need be) but are also very good sounding at "low" volumes. If I were to purchase the "LORE", it would replace my old pair of POLK 10 Monitors. I admit to very much liking the POLK's but, I suspect the new "LORE" Speakers would outperform (in most every way) the older Polk's. I sure would love to hear from any "LORE" owners as to your experiences. Thanks.
