Hi all ! Rsfphil.....My room is just a touch smaller than yours and have been tempted by the Pendragons . I kinda figured out my Lore's have great bass in my room and not to mess with the Pendragons . your comments above reconfirm for me to stay with the Lores . There has got to be something wrong with these things tho....I am driving a pair of $1000 speakers with $14,000 worth of equipment....kind of blows that rule of spending 1/3 or whatever of your budget on speakers . They just cant be this good...lol
Morganic and Sionlim you live 2 hours from me in Roseville just out from Sac.
I would have thought most of you where on the East coast.
@Morganac,

thanks for the invite i will cordially accept. Other than this weekend as i am heading to Tahoe to look for the now elusive snow! I was looking at the Lore S as well. I do believe that the Pendragons might be tad to big and bassy for me, but i can switch them out with main set in the living room. I love full range speakers and every speaker that i threw out seems to be more HI Fi in nature. The last to go was the triton 2 very bass heavy and was impossible to control, also the neighbors were not happy with them at all.
THe past year i went through 2 speakers which i coulden't live with the Tritons and the Mag 1.7. I did go to another audiogoner place to try the VR 33 not hi fi sounding to me. but i left uncertain as it seemed to want more power than the Ayons can give. So the high DB of the tektons and price to performance ratio are very enticing. I was going to order a new set of interconnects and spk cables as well, and together they are more expensive than the Lore!
choices i decided - and be free to comment or advise are
morrow audio MA4 balanced-tried their cheapest and it killed the Kimber PBJ and Audioquest in all areas.
Black cat- as Socrates seems to like em.
Virtue Audio- cheapest of the bunch , but stereomojo loves em and i like mojo because they advertise what i like most-heh heh heh if u get the drift
And last but not least skyline 1200 as a few reported its like amazing in all areas.- but expensive
ive given up on all BRANDED way insane prices of the staple stuff.
PS its the first time im actually spending money on cables as i never had any left after spending on the back and front end of a system.-so exciting!!!
If you guy's head a little further north shoot me an email and stop in for an audition and a beer.
