Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Steidlguitars: fair enough. Obviously the product was good enough to WOW me and that is not easy. There are not many products that have excited me like that... and I've had way too many! Listen carefully to Cpapace comments - reconciles nicely wit...

Restless_times: really? Was my Lore review that far off? Did you not say that you were going to purchase a second pair you liked them so much? Did my review help you in making that purchase decision? Then why would you doubt my Pendragon review......

Please understand there is nothing in my review of the Lore or the Pendragon that needs to be rectified. Let's have some common sense - NO $2,500 speaker is going to have $10,000 speaker build quality, but in case of the Tekton's they do rival muc...

I have another very relevant point I want to make... some of you remember, I drove my Lores with 25wpc Quicksilver Mini Mites. It was a perfect match and my recollection of the sound was one that was about as perfect as it could have been. That wa...

Hey guys! I suppose I need to clarify a few things. Telescope is right on. My dealer buddy ended up taking on trade a pair of Greybeard KB 2/1 speakers and offered them at an insane price because the co. is out of business and frankly, most people...

I can't answer to the amp upgrade. It sounds nice but I just don't know without hearing it. You should be open minded to trying a couple different amps with any speaker you get (if funds permit), and you will do well. But P-dragon vs VR3... it sho... 
Review: Tekton Design Pendragon Speaker
There have not been "official" specs listed; however, the manufacturer has given me a verbal of 98db efficient, and the low end 10db lower then Lore (i.e., 20hz). I have not measured the P-dragon but it certainly has more weight then Lore... and f...

Jwilk - to a large extent, yes I believe that is true... attributes of tubes vs. solid state is what I described. I just don't remember it being as pronounced with other (conventional) setups I've had. But I can tell you, I don't think you would b...

I ran my P-dragons with an Adcom GFA 5500 (200w) for a while during the first 100 hours. They had a big, open sound with the Adcom but it was missing the tone and upper mid bass articulation that I get w/ my 12 watt Xindak tube amp, and surprising... 
Review: Tekton Design Pendragon Speaker
I have the treatment (about 7 69x24 1" panels) in the corners (behind the speakers) and on the back wall. Since I am sitting about 6ft from the speakers, the highs do not seem affected by it much. It does, however, tighten up the bass. My room is ...

Re: eminence thing. The Katz 1 has a Fostex driver, so perhaps Eric has something up his sleeve to pull this off. Interesting...

"My reason for switching is to get a little more forgiving speaker for lower quality recordings"The lores will be perfect at this. That's an area that is critical for me, because my inventory of "audiophile" recordings is practically nothing. For ...

Cwazz - boy your post is just a but sarcastic, is it not? Where is the resentment coming from? You sound like I moved from a Tekton to a different type of speaker... I simply moved up the line... similar sonics just more of everything. Also, here'...

CWazz sure has a way w/ words. Charlie - glad you chimed in because I wanted to let you know I tried an Adcom amp with the Pendragons, and I could not believe how much better of a match my 12 watt Xindak EL84 amp is! In fact, the 12 watt tube amp ...
