Yeah the only difference I saw was the stated efficiency was 93 instead of 95

Tekton M-Lore Speaker Review
- Thread starter amirm
- Start date
Might get a seize and desist from Maserati, methinks.New Alta... but still no trace of the measurements promised by Mr. Alexander?
Looking at their specials, I also discovered Tekton's latest feet option. I LIKE IT !!!:

The obvious spelling mistake is probably his way of trying to get away with it.
Still hasn't bothered mounting the drivers flush to the front baffle. Why...Who knows what this Alta speaker is like?
New bass driver apparently:
With a new 8″ woofer and 1″ Danish-designed silk dome tweeter, ...
Some speculation:
If this Alta is a little better/ measures a little better, if Alta have a little better directivity vs M-Lore then maybe $725. / pair could be ok? But there were some ifs there. How much a little better it needs for an ok is also a question.
(I leave the question of Alexander as a person and his trigger-happy legal suit finger aside.)
I see you can buy an upgrade package:

Alta High-Performance Loudspeaker – Tekton Design
Elevate your audio with the Tekton Alta: the refined successor to the Mini Lore. Featuring an American-made 8″ woofer and a Danish-designed silk dome tweeter. High-efficiency and Made in USA.tektondesign.com
Edit:
Still a speaker with an 8" bass driver and a 1" tweeter without a waveguide. In other words, the same design challenges as with M-Lore.
Why, indeed, bother...
I want an ugly coffin with a whole bunch of drivers - for only 9k a pair.

At least with 2x21 drivers it makes the price less less than $250 per driver and someone can use the enclosures as a spare part holderI want an ugly coffin with a whole bunch of drivers - for only 9k a pair.
Are Tekton’s shorts longer or shorter ( if that is possible ) than Danny GR’s?

Maybe they both buy drivers container-wise and also store them there? Would explain the mass of drivers and also the shorts as such a container can get quite hot inside.
I'm not even sure if I'd short Tekton, if it were publicly traded...

Can't imagine it effects the overall price but a couple of dollars.

Worst speakers i ever listened to imo
It is perplexing to me to hear from clients, most of which went through quite some length in equipment, and specifically speakers - to become interested in Tekton.
Often trying them out, or at least get a demo - and subsequently, overwhelmingly - discarding them completely, with gusto. Marketing seems to work, for some reason.
Customer satisfaction, retention - not so much. Maybe people who spent money on them want other people to get disappointed as well, I just don't get it.
