8ohm Pendragon? Yes.

I talked with Eric last week. Looks like enough folks were interested that he's taking a long, serious look at rejiggering the Pendragon to support an 8ohm variant. Will need different drivers, of course, but Eric said he knew where he wanted to go with it. 98db @ 8 ohms minimum. Might be a whole different thing, no?
Just hooked up my Lores today. I do notice a change in soundstage when listening while standing and with the top driver at ear level. What are you guys doing to raise this speaker up? I listen alot just standing around. I don't want to put them on a pedestal. Does Eric have a longer spike for the front spike holes?
Gooddomino - I raise the front of the speaker slightly by screwing the front spikes out. I screw a thin nut to the threads all the way, then screw the spike into the speaker (fronts 2 spikes).
I don't listen while standing pretty much ever.
What did you do with any other speaker you've had?
I have a larger spike for Pendragons (they come with taller spikes). Call him and I am sure he'll take care of you.
Sebrof,
My current speakers are the overacheiving Vandersteen 1c's.They use the nut and screw method to provide tilt back....don't know why I didn't think in that direction, glad you did. Thanks Gpowered for the other tilt option.

The Lores seem to change sound character more than the 1c with a change in vertical listening position. Tilt back should help.

As an aside, I really like the sound of these speakers. The midrange is detailed yet non fatigueing. A gem of a speaker and worth the high praise I've seen.
