Zu Omen or Tekton Lore

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.

Hi all ! Great idea guys as I like to stand sometimes and listen , tilting them a bit might be the ticket . I agree these things just nuts . Everyone that has heard mine just sit there and shake their heads , esp when I tell them they are only getting 4wpc , max .

Hey guys,
Any Updates out there from Pendragon owners? I auditioned a pair locally last night and really enjoyed them. It is hard to compare them directly to my Omen Defs in a different room with a different set up, but overall they did sound great. Also what kind of amps are you guys running with your Pendragons?
Thanks,
Morgan

Morganc - I have the 11 watt class A Xindak MT-01. With good tubes it is a perfect match in my mid-sized room. I also have a 200 watt Marsh A400s - great for rocking out and wanting some incredible dynamics and a powerful low end, but the tube amp is most certainly a better match in terms of tone and musicality... when the pens are set up right (equalateral triangle off the back wall with a nice wide stance), to me they are one of the best sounds I've ever experienced...

Capellaudio -- I just read through this entire thread and I see you got the Pendragons but I wanted you to know that I heard the GoldenEar Tech speakers (Triton IIs) in both HT and 2-channel setups and I thought they were better suited for HT.

In the HT setup, they were driven by an Integra receiver and the room was huge (can't even begin to estimate the volume). In the 2-channel setup, they were in a treated room, maybe 16x12, powered by an all-McIntosh front-end, and I have to say, while the bass was good, the top-end seemed too rolled off for my tastes. Sandy Gross was there at the 2-channel demo and I'd think he'd have had a little bit to say about the set-up and the placement of the speakers, if not the gear used.

I have heard them three times and I don't get all the rave professional reviews they have received. This is my opinion only, or course, so here's hoping you are finding success with the Pendragons.

Cwazz, on the other hand, if you are looking for bass, the Triton IIs might be what you are looking for. While a step-up in price, they deliver very good base at their pricepoint.

After several months of suggestions from other members, it doesn't seem as if you have tried to implement any of their suggestions so maybe changing up speakers is what you need to do. Personally I think your room itself needs to be addressed first, but see if you can at least auditon a pair of Triton IIs.
