Tekton pedragon finish


Hey all you Pendragon fans. I've been speaking with Eric at Tekton and put in my order for some Pens! I appreciate all of the insight on this forum and some reviews that helped confirm my decision. All I have to do is decide on a custom paint or go with a standard.
So, has anyone seen first hand what the painted finish looks and "feels" like? The satin finish is a good idea but can the wood grain be seen or felt or is it more like a piano finish? I have no doubt about the quality....just wondering about the final look.
Thanks all

Brianpack, I have some Pendragons in a 33' x 15' x 8' loft area and they sound very good. I do not see a problem with your space -- that's a decent size room. I have found that they do like a little space behind them if your setup allows.
Holley, I've read your earlier posts and appreciate the insight. I spoke with Eric last weel and put in an order for some Pens, but also for a center channel. Now, not the one seen on the tekton site. That speaker looks awesome and since compatable with the Pendragons quite desirable. But it is huge! Have you heard it or know of anyone who has? Eric offered a smaller version which I trust will be good. Just curious.
Brianpack, just curious but when you spoke to Eric, did he mention anything about the new Pendragon center, rear and dual 12″ subwoofer?
I'm sure he would have but because we had already talked of my needs we didn't go there. You see, that center channel will simply be toooo big to fit in my living room and definantly not the consol below the plasma. So he recommended going with the m-lore center, only 9.5" high and 20 something inches wide. Then add a pair of the m-Lore's as sides and I'm done. With the reviews of the m-lore's matched with the new bigger and better Pen's, I'm taking his word these will sound fabulous.
Now some will ask "what about the subs?" Again, with the reviews of the Pen's bass efficiency and performance, I'll go without a sub for now, treat the room with some bass traps and enjoy the "Pen-lore" system!
