Tekton Pendragons

Anyone actually have heard these speakers perform? Ive read several articles that have said they are as good as many 30k speakers. Just wondering. They can be returned but there's a 20% restocking fee which would be $540 not counting the shipping I'd have to pay as they weigh around 80 lbs each.
Thanks in advance to any replies.

Putting an 80lb floorstander back in the box is an exercise in futility. I still got a pair of  floorstander that I'm selling on craigslist exactly because of that... and it weights less than 40 pounds...

Buying and selling new heavy speakers with high shipping costs and/or restocking fees without hearing them first is an exercise in futility. Not great for sellers nor buyers. Cheers,

A better speaker is the Spatial Audio M4 also with a 45 day return policy.

I bought a pair of Pendragons in October, 2015. I had them for a week and did not like them one bit. I really tried to like them but in my room, the bass was horrible. I schlepped those monsters all over my listening room and could not get a satisfactory (to me) sound. I initially used my Rogue Cronus Magnum 100wpc tube amp, then tried my solid state Odyssey Stratos and tube preamp. To be blunt, the sound was not very special in my room.

The shocker came when I sent them back via FedEx (UPS was much more expensive), at $195.00 from Zip code 02864 back to where they came from. Never ever again will I buy speakers without first hearing them. BTW, did I mention how physically huge the speakers are and even bigger in their very flimsy shipping cartons? The cartons are so thin that one speaker arrived damaged, and when I removed the original shipping label, my finger went right through the cardboard carton.  What the hell was I thinking?
