Horizontal and vertical dispersion are the same for a single BMR driver. No BMR driver has 180 degrees dispersion, but it is very wide.
If it is 1.5 way design, you can put it horizontally without any comb-filter effect (cancelation on specific frequencies).
Yes, it is - I am using it :), back from the days when CLIO was in the version 4.
But we haven't seen any measurement from Tekton so far, so I think Eric Alexander never used Audiomatica CLIO, or know how to use it - some other guy designed Tekton crossovers.
That is mostly from the nearfield measurement technique, in the real world it should be much flatter, but the peak at 100 Hz will stay, although not so big.
Well, no. Ascend CMT-340 SE2 is a center speaker with no bass output whatsoever - in contrast to Tekton M-Lore. And it has equally bad frequency response.
It is difficult to find a good "full-range" (2 or 3-way loudspeaker with enough bass) with higher than 88 dB sensitivity and price around...
About the Tekton M-Lore:
1. At 92 dB 88 dB it is genuinely high slightly above average efficiency speaker - which is not too common, especially at that price ($750 a pair). From all speakers tested here in that price range, only Focal Chora 816 is comparable better at 91 dB, but with higher...
Don't worry about the non-existing cone resonance of 12" drivers - it is a common size for a high-quality 2-way PA loudspeakers. Additional advantage over TS408 is that you don't need a subwoofer with TS412, just adequate EQ in the low region. For a small venue and not-so-loud karaoke maybe even...
Yes. It is a cheap loudspeaker, which sound quality can not be improved with EQ. Do not expect much form it, it has only 8" midbass unit. In the PA world 8" midbass is just a toy, especially if used without subwoofer. Good only for background music or karaoke in a small cafe or pub.
If you want...

You don't have it either.
Your conspiracy theory has the same defect as any other conspiracy theory - complicated and time-consuming cover-up... instead of simple measurement of individual calibration files (tied to the mic serial number, of course).
