Reference 3A Grand Veena, can they rock?

Shakeydeal ;
What is it about the Pendragons that you want to improve upon ?

I happen to absolutely love the Grand Veenas.

When a friend invited me to audition them with him during a hunt for a new pair of loudspeakers, I walked in thinking they looked overpriced. When I left the room, it was me jumping up and down, telling him his search was over and how he had to buy them. I went from thinking they were another high-priced high-end product to thinking they represented incredible value.

Can they rock? Well, they'll play loud enough to satisfy most audiophiles. But if you're a headbanger who likes a speaker that will blow you back, I think you might be best served elsewhere.

Trelja,

I picked up my Grand Veenas on Thursday and have been listening since. I agree with you, there is something special about these speakers. No, they won't play at lease breaking levels, but they are plenty satisfying.

Saki70,

The Pendragons are very good indeed. The GVs won't play as loudly or aren't as effortless as the Tektons. I just always have my eye out for a good deal and the Grand Veenas fell into my lap at a price I could not ignore.

Both are good, but the Grand Veenas are in the lead for now.

Until March of this year I was very pleased with my Grand Veena speakers.
I have since moved on, but not because I disliked the Grand Veenas.
THey were a very pleasing and detailed speaker.

Given the right amplifier and they gave back very deep and punchy bass.

I really liked the speakers with the Aleph3, or the Atmasphere S30.

Ok, maybe not rock amps, but the punch and bass depth was all I needed, and volume wise I was more than content.

I even ran the speakers with 1000W class D monos and a 2 watt Decware.

The Grand Veenas are revealing of what's in front of them,so take your time and match them up with the best gear you can afford.
They will let you hear what you've spent your money on.

A lot of speakers won't do that.

Lacee,

I sent you a message regarding the GVs a week or so ago, not sure if Agon got it to you or not.

What did you move on to? I saw many of your favorable comments about these speakers in the archives.
