Tekton Pendragon Audition in SF Bay Area?

Breakbeat,

That's totally up to you and your specific needs...but if it was me, no I would not use a sub with the Omen Def's. But that's only because of my 2 channel direct music listening...I don't "need" a sub with the the full range Def's.

If I was 2 channel music direct with the Noesis, then I have to have a sub...no way around it.

The Def's for movies?, then of course use a sub.

Well, I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the Noesis. I talked to someone who owns the Zu Superflys, and he said he wouldn't recommend Zus since I want something for home theater.

I keep getting steered back to the Noesis, and I haven't found anything that seems better. The only competitor I've really found are the Seaton Catalysts, and they're more than I want to spend.

Makes total sense for for your needs, the noesis is way the to go, especially since you got that nice JTR sub. :)

Congrats! and enjoy...

I'm not sure why you were told the Zus would not be good for a home theater (perhaps the Superflys would not, I have not heard them in a theater setting). But I had a pair of Omen Defs that was used for both 2 channel and a home theater setup and they were excellent. I also owned the Tekton Pendragons and they also would work for both very well. I ultimately chose the Omen Defs as I liked their midrange presentation better, but either of those speakers would work very well in a home theater.

i just found this thread, i do have the pendragon set up and love it. Pen fronts and center with m-lores as surrounds. we will probably be moving so thought i will sell the whole package rather than ship. i will definately be buying tekton again. we live in the Santa Rosa area.
Oh, very important.......I have the complete set of Pendragon Grills, not the cheap foam ones. The real deal!!
