New Tekton Pendragons On The Way
Already thought about the phasing and tried reversing the leads on one speaker. Really no difference in sound. No amount of break in would magically give me bass where there was none.

I didn't want to say anything in public because I don't want others to get the wrong idea about the speakers. Keep in mind this is with my equipment in my room. First off, Eric Alexander was very accommodating to me. I wanted the speakers for last...

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.

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".

FedEx is delivering the speakers tomorrow instead of Monday. I guess they are speeding things up just in case the hurricane strikes. I had to call my boss and change my personal day to tomorrow, but it's all good. Will post a couple of pics once t...

Thanks, I am quite excited. What boggles me is that FedEx shipped both speakers with a Master tracking number, yet the speakers got separated somewhere in Utah and now they are on 2 different trucks going to the local FedEx distribution center nea...

" I think you are going to love the Pendragon's provided your room has the space to accommodate them."My room is 40 by 50 as it is almost the entire second floor of my home.

Any chance we can back on topic? With that being said, the speakers shipped yesterday and should be here on Monday. There is a 60 day money back guarantee (less shipping) so this seems like a no-brainer to me. 
What Did I Do Wrong?
I put the EL34 tubes back in today and set the bias. It is now rock steady at 30ma as per Rogue Audio. It seems the EL34 tubes needed a dozen turns each on the bias pots. That did the trick. I never would have thought I would have to turn the bias... 
Classic Rock Quiz
I only got 10 right. In my defense, I never listen to the Stones and know nothing about them. 
What Did I Do Wrong?
Talked to Nick at Rogue today and he confirmed the EL34 tubes do work in the Cronus Magnum. He said I may have to turn the bias pots up to a dozen turns to get the tubes to bias. 
What Did I Do Wrong?
I already sent Nick an email and stated I would follow up with a phone call tomorrow. 
What Did I Do Wrong?
The tubes were already on route to my house before I talked to Kevin at Upscale. My only reason for contacting him was because I had received a partial refund for the order. I had ordered the tubes be cryoed and paid the 8.00 per tube. When I got ... 
What Did I Do Wrong?
AlmargAre you talking the KT120's that are in there now or the EL34B tubes which I removed already? Do you think the EL34's are toast? I should have listened to Uncle Kevin at Upscale, he advised against it. 
Let's try this a different way then
