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?
