Review of Tekton Pendragon-Se Loudspeaker


Hello to all I finally have over 150 hours logged on these new Tekton Pendragon-SE about the 120 hr mark with low SPL we decided to open up the volume These -SEs are now starting to open up.
I listened for detecting the crossover points hearing port noise, as we'll aberrations in the voicing-None
Sonicly these loudspeakers are a Revelation - Exceptionally well deigned and voiced. Eric hit this one out of the park my compliments. My brother and 2 friends who are casual listeners were totally draw in .
From Oldies Xmas soungs to Many rock and roll cuts all flac files on my HD. I also need to mention
The speakers are a Fantastic combination of real Earthy natural presentation
Warm in a Very natural perspective .listening to Ottmar Liebert on guitar you can here the reverb from the body if the guitar and feel the fingers sliding off the guitar strings. My brother mentioned listening to ELP
Lucky man album take pebble which was in a cave the drops of water you can clearly hear, with the echo
From the splash as the drop hits the water is better then we have heard Ever.and the drivers still have several days more to runin, the capacitors still have a solid week to fully runin.
A match made in Heaven. How could I not help to promote thesewith this much coherent in music and dynamics , Excellent front to back layering and a Huge cavernous soundstage .what started as a 6 song audition turned into a 4 hour music request.
I will say without reservation my brothers Big Pass Labs amplifier was an incredible match with
The Pendragon -SE ,one More thing the Bass at 120 hours is taught fast and and as tight as a new pair of jeans ! I have had many loudspeakers much more expensive .I can say without reservation the musicality and cohesiveness
Have no competition even at 2 times he money's. take a Maggie 3.7 give it more dynamics, and solid Bass
And it Would be close. The Tekton Pendragon SE is a rare breed and from mine and several observers
An exceptional value even against loudspeakers costing more the double there're price..
Tektons owner and designer Eric Alexander has hit this Pendragon -SE out of the park HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !! P.s if any one is in or coming to the Massachustts area message me for a listen.

New to the forum here...I have been looking at the pens for awhile now, maybe might go with the lores.

My question is about the capacitor upgrade. Seems expensive, is it worth it? Would I really be able to hear the difference? Any thoughts would be appreciated...:)
I got the Mundorf silver oil capacitors and cannot speak to the sound without them. I CAN say that the sound with them is amazing. Present, real, clean, clear, and open. Talk to Eric and you may find your choice easier than you think.
Jackson,

Thank you very much. It's a tough call for me...problem is if I order the lores without the upgraded caps, I'll always be wondering "what if"... And I hate that feeling...lol.
I felt the same way... Talk to and get a quote from Eric and you may find the decision easier. He's a great guy and seems quite genuinely interested in giving his customers a good experience from start to finish.
Hmmm, you guys certainly have a different experience to my dealings with Tekton Designs.

I've been waiting since September last year for a pair of Lores(have now given up).

Spoke to Eric Alexander directly, was promised they would be finished in 4-6 weeks.

Then was promised January, then February. When I sent him an email asking if he was ever going to deliver my speakers I got quite a nasty email back saying he had personal problems and that was much more important then his business!

I replied he probably could be a bit more diplomatic with his customers.

I got a contrite email apologising and he said my speakers would be done "soon".

In March I got an email saying they should be ready anytime now.

It's now mid-April....................................

But nice to hear he actually does deliver speakers to some of his customers.
