New Tekton Pendragons On The Way

If i may ask.Will you keep a thread going.I am currently talking to Alex.I am looking to upgrade at a reasonable price based on the economy.I have a fulley rebuilt and modded pair of dahlquist dq-20s.Wow these are now amazing.I now again want to go further.With the help of a friend The Audio Tweak I have awesome cables,stands,ETC. Star Sound Has Provided Many Things In My System That are superior to other products at a fair price.I also am using Harmonic Presision Monoblocks.Ican attest these are far superior to many products at many times their cost.Cant wait to put the Pendragons On my platforms and smile.With My BAT Preamp and my HP100 monoblocks I hope they will Be my last speakers.I have a love for music but also love to hear Things That other Speakers Can't reveal.I'm sure these will be fun And give me most of what i want.I'll get Stats or monitors too for transparent detail if needed Later.If alex can get a color and a cap upgrade in my ballpark i think we will have something special.Can't to wait to hear owner feedback as well.RW

" I attribute that to it's 89db sensitivity whereas the Pendragons have a 95 db sensitivity. This should give me a much fuller sound at lower volume levels."

I don't see why that would be true. You're not just buying more efficient speakers like the ones you now have, you're buying something completely different. There's really no way to tell how the new speakers will sound next to your old ones, until you put them side by side and do some listening.

I'm currently demoing a pair of the M-lores, not anywhere
near the Pendragons in the Tekton line, but still following
Eric's design philosophy. My impressions pretty much mimic
the review published by Stereo Mojo. They are extremely
dynamic and have a natural tonal balance. They spread a
soundstage just beyond the outside edges of the speakers.

My biggest problem with the M-lores is they don't render a
three-dimensional image. The image is at the plane of the
speakers and doesn't extend behind or in front of them. The
very much remind me of the Magnepan MG12s and 1.6s I had,
great tone and detail but a very flat image. I don't think I
saw this in any of the reviews I read but on closer readings
I'd say it is between the lines.

As for the dynamics at low volume, the M-lores don't really
sound fuller, but they do highlight the dynamic shifts in
the program material. I pulled out my db meter during my
last listening session to check them. What I noticed when
listening at an average 65db level was when the music jumped
up a bit, instead of going to 70 db, the meter would hit
higher peaks up to 75 db. It did seem to accentuate the
program differences. My measurements are not scientific and
really should be taken as anecdotal; just used to make my
point. Hope that makes sense.

I said I'm demoing the speakers but I bought them used,
that's how I demo equipment lately. At the price, the M-lore
is a bargain, at the used price I'll sell mine for, they're
phenomenal. It all depends on what you find important in a
speaker.
