Tekton Pendragons

Anyone actually have heard these speakers perform? Ive read several articles that have said they are as good as many 30k speakers. Just wondering. They can be returned but there's a 20% restocking fee which would be $540 not counting the shipping I'd have to pay as they weigh around 80 lbs each.
Thanks in advance to any replies.
Regards, Mark

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?

I have them for 3/4 years and I love them, super musical, generate believable music. If you like hifi sound don't buy them; if you go often to the symphony hall or live events to "recalibrate" your ears, probably you'll like them. I have the 4 Ohm version, they have been driven by different amps (Quicksilver, Monarchy, Aragon, Parasound).
But do not trust me or anybody else (including reviewers), unfortunately you have to listen to them in your room with your setting. I love music, I am a part time musician; I have heard tons of super expensive equipment which I disliked, unrealistic hifi sound, including 30K+ speakers. Good luck.

I have the Lore series made by Tekton.  I had researched and reviewed every available speaker in the price range. I did not find a better valued or better sounding speaker than the Lore.  I realize that you are asking about a different model but my experience with Tekton would lead me to believe their entire line of speakers would be outstanding!
