Floorstanders vs Bookshelf

The bigger the box...the better the experience....Tekton speakers are very easy on the ears......I love the soundstage they throw and use a Schiit Loki to fine tune the sound for different recordings. Beautiful. My upgraded Pendragons were only $2500 delivered.

I designed and built my own speakers. Probably not near as nice as yours. Mine are 5cu,ft floor standers. 8 " 3 way, 4ft high. They sound great 10' away. But distanced 15ft apart. Helps the sound stage. Am not disappointed after hearing 4.5k speakers at a dealer. 

Consider getting on the list for a Philharmonic BMR standmount. Rather large for a standmount but an alternative that can give a floorstander presentation. Monitor Audio initially sounded great with me but threw so much at you at once it grew tiring as well.  I think it has something to do with the tweeter, the upper mids and high didn't have the required separation, dynamic shifts, etc.

I'm seriously considering either the Pendragons, Uruz or DI models from Tekton. I listen to mostly orchestral music and my ideal listening experience would be to have a set of speakers put me 15 rows back and dead center in Carnegie Hall.

In your opinion, would the Pendragons come close to doing that?

What upgrades did you purchase?

Thank you for any feedback.

All the best to you.

I maybe a bit late on this discussion. I heard Pendragons today at a friends. He has the Seas  version. I believe the hype, those things are nice. I own speakers at 20X his purchase price. Yes the are better, and they should be. I really enjoyed the a Tektons
