PranaFidelity speakers, what say you?

Was just wondering if anyone here have owned or had a chance to listen to PranaFidelity's offerings at length, and can report on their experience?

I recently got the chance to listen to the new Bhava bookshelf speakers at the recent Los Angeles audio show. Was really taken aback how great they sounded; better than most of the other room demo setups on the day, and not crazy expensive (although ranging from 5k to 7k, not for the budget minded either).

Don't mean to derail your original topic.
Yeah, same thing happened with me during AXPONA 2015. Did not read the list and missed a couple that I wanted to hear. But this time I made sure that I visited each and every room, some even twice :-)
I have been hearing s much about the DIs that it seems unreal.

But I have heard good things about Prana Fidelity loudspeakers. Never got a chance to listen to them.

Pts, I'm afraid the Pranas are out of my reach, price-wise. They do have that "in the room" presentation. From what I remember from a few years ago when I first heard them I was told that the electronics made by Prada are responsible for a lot of what I heard but I'm pretty sure that any good set of amps and pre will do.

Also, I didn't notice that Tekton was there as well and am kicking myself right now. I read on another thread on another site that Tekton stated they couldn't make it to the show and yet....
I should have kept up because I really wanted to hear them.

And, here's my "not intending to highjack the thread" mention that I'm seriously leaning towards the Elac Adnate monitor speakers. Monitors work best in my space and these really spoke to me.

All the best,
Nonoise

If you're in the LA area, you're welcome to drop by and listen to the Lores to get a taste of the Tekton sound.

Pts, thanks for the invite but I have my heart and ears set on monitors. (That, and I can't part with my Timbernation maple stands that I had made)

I took a look at the Tekton monitors as well as his whole line and he uses different drivers from speaker to speaker save for some that are voiced along the same lines. That pointed tweeter that he uses in his group array looks interesting. There was a speaker at the LAX audio show that used one and it was incredibly airy, open and extended without any etch.
When I asked the maker about it he said it's an older design but when done well, it's right up there with the best.

All the best,
Nonoise

Sounded great at the LA Audio Show this past weekend. Seemed like a good value.
