The Question,Tekton Pendragons or Focal 1028 BE

Ok, so the Wife Acceptance Factor has driven me to ask the question. I have heard the Focals and have not hear the Pendragons or the Double Impacts which I am also considering.

Although the 1028's are at $5k currently and the TD speakers are substantially less the bride is enamored with the appearance of the Focals. Personally I like the looks of the Tekton's and deep down believe that they have to sound as good as the Focals and hopefully better. Does anyone have experience with both and I understand I will get a bevy of comments on other speakers to consider, but frankly I would like to stay focused on the two speakers here....

My room is small, it is 11x11x9. It was a bedroom but we opened up the wall and made it into an office off of the living room in a medium sized Cape style which is now really becoming a music room. I am driving the speakers with a Primaluna Dialogue Premium and not the HP version the 36 watt version.

All input will be valued.
Thanks!

Hi Chip,

My room is similar in size as yours. Eric recommended three models according to my room, listening preferences, and budget. They were: Lore Reference, Enzo 2.7, and Electron. I’ve been on a hunt for info on the Enzo 2.7s ever since but it’s hard to come across. And the Electrons are just a skinnied down version of the DIs as you probably know.

Your dealer took you to lunch for a pair of 936’s?

 My dealer, Audio Classics took me to lunch when I bought a used McIntosh Integrated for $3100.00.  Since then, I bought 5 more McIntosh pieces of equipment from them mostly because of the friendly atmosphere.
