New Tekton Pendragons On The Way


I am quite thrilled and also quite nervous in having ordered a pair of the Pendragon speakers this afternoon. I am doing this mostly on the reviews and also after receiving communication from Eric Alexander, owner of Tekton Designs.

Let me go back a little. I recently changed the tubes in my Rogue Cronus Magnum integrated from the KT120 to EL34 tubes. I have fallen in love with the EL34 sound and now my present speakers sound thin unless really cranked. I attribute that to it's 89db sensitivity whereas the Pendragons have a 95 db sensitivity. This should give me a much fuller sound at lower volume levels.

This is my secondary system in my home office and I play it 8 hours a day so it gets much more use than my reference system downstairs in our living room. Many of the reviews both pro and consumer say it's the speaker for someone who loves music. So now the wait begins to receive them. Supposedly they keep this in stock now in the basic black finish which is what I got. I would be thrilled if I got them by the end of this week but that is pretty unrealistic I guess.

If anyone has experience with these speakers, I would especially like to hear. If anyone reading this has any thoughts, kindly post them.

Speakers arrived, one of them has damage in the top right corner thanks to FedEx being so careful. I posted a pic in my virtual system under the "Office System".
I've dealt with FedEx claims before. Since you bought them new from Tekton, it should go very smoothly because the item is new, and coming directly from the factory. It gets through all the valuation red tape. FedEx will probably ask you a few routine questions, but you should have no problems at all. If you bought them used, from a private seller, there would be a lot more for you to do. You'll have no problems.
I guess the speakers didn't live up to the hype. No report on the sound......

Shaky,

If you want to know more about the speaker, send me an email through Audiogon. The speakers offer a different perspective, one I am not used to.
Stereo5,
Why not share your thoughts with the rest of us? There is a lot of interest in these speakers, and I would be interested in your impressions.
