I am quite thrilled and also quite nervous in having ordered a pair of the Pendragon speakers this afternoon. I am doing this mostly on the reviews and also after receiving communication from Eric Alexander, owner of Tekton Designs.Let me go back a little. I recently changed the tubes in my Rogue Cronus Magnum Integrated from the KT120 to EL34 tubes. I have fallen in love with the EL34 sound and now my present speakers sound thin unless really cranked. I attribute that to it's 89db sensitivity whereas the Pendragons have a 95 db sensitivity and more drivers. My present speakers have a 7" Scanspeak woofer and 1" silk dome tweeter. The Pendragon's should give me a much fuller sound at lower volume levels.
This is my secondary system in my home office and I play it 8 hours a day so it gets much more use than my reference system downstairs in our living room. Many of the reviews both pro and consumer say it's the speaker for someone who loves music. So now the wait begins to receive them. Supposedly they keep this in stock now in the basic black finish which is what I got. I would be thrilled if I got them by the end of this week but that is pretty unrealistic I guess.
If anyone has experience with these speakers, I would especially like to hear. If anyone reading this has any thoughts, kindly post them.

They shipped today, yay! According to Fedex, they will be delivered next Monday. Looks like a personal day is in order for Monday. Looking forward to seeing and hearing them for the first time. Time to break out the new tubes for the amp.

I had a pair for a short time. I think they are pretty good and have no glaring errors, only a sin of omission. They aren't the last word in resolution, but you wouldn't expect that at their price point. I probably would have kept them longer, but a sweet deal on a pair of Reference 3a Grand Veenas came along.
From the information in your post, I think they should give you what you are looking for.

Thank you, I certainly hope so.

You might want to check out audiokarma. They have a Tekton owners thread under New Gear-Values. Have fun with your new speakers.Cheers,
Scott
