Tonian speakers would be a nice fit for a 2A3. We ran the TL-D1's with a 2 watt 45 amp at THE SHOW 2011 and they were outstanding. Yes they can be a little bright but some of that comes from improper set-up, as well as what you might be feeding hem. As mentioned previously these speakers are not so forgiving. Tonian speakers work best IMO with very little if any toe in and at shows I have seen Tony rakes the front some. I have heard some of the other Tonian models as well and they get better as you move up the line.

The Audiokinesis suggestion is good one too. I have owned the Jazz Modules for a few years now and their ability to reproduce natural timbre is outstanding. They work well with my SET amps. I owned the TL-D1's simultaneously and in comparisons, while the Jazz Modules were clearly better in the lower bandwidth, and I preferred their mids as well, the TL-D1's held up very nicely against them, especially in the timbre area.

Bradluke - I don't own the Lores, but I convinced a friend of mine to buy a pair, and I hear them pretty regularly at his place. I have heard his Leben 300x amp driving both his speakers and my Tonians, so I think I have a pretty decent sense of the comparison. Of course, it should be mentioned that my buddy is very happy with his Lores.

I f you are looking for a refined Pendragon Tektons New SE model
Is slightly smaller at 53 T x 10 w X 13 d. This model is using Scanspeak
Ring radiator tweeters , and Seas 8 inch drivers custom from their Prestige line this one starts at $3k. ,and I recommend the Mundorf Silver oil -upgrade-
Capacitors for I have used these in several projects they give the performance a Much more 3d aspect in tone, imaging air around the instruments .if you have the money it is well worth it .i have done many A B
Comparisons ,also Eric offers Custom paint Any Automotive finish you want
You just provide the color from what automobile, the cost depends on the
Paint . I ordered them this week and I can tell you the 2 week to ship
Will be well worth the wait.p.s with Mundorf Silver oil caps
They take 200 hours to open upsome and 400 to finish refining,a pain in the arse but well worth it !!
