$1250 OBO (priced to sell)
Up for sale is a pair of Tekton Design Pendragon floorstanding loudspeakers in an upgraded Custom High Gloss Metallic Grey finish ($700 factory option upgrade).
Primarily looking for a cash sale, but I am open to trades (plus or minus cash depending on the gear) towards quality amplification. Specifically interested in:
High-current power amp / preamp stacks (e.g., Parasound Halo series like the A 21, P 5, P 6, or similar)
High-end integrated amplifiers (e.g., Hegel H190 / H390, Parasound HINT 6, or comparable Class A/AB gear)
Handcrafted in Utah, these speakers perform astronomically above their cost. Reviewers across the audiophile world frequently compare their scale, authority, and dynamic resolution to flagship towers costing four to five times as much.
The custom clear coat transforms these impressive cabinets into a true visual statement piece under room lighting, a finish that pushes a new pair from Tekton to $3000 and build wait times (at least 12 weeks out when I called them a few weeks ago).
Sonically, the Pendragons are a force of nature. They deliver a visceral, tactile, live-concert experience that hits you straight in the chest. Drums have physical impact and air-moving slam, brass instruments carry natural bite, and acoustic strings ring out with effortless speed. Featuring Tekton’s signature high-efficiency design, they scale flawlessly whether driven by low-wattage tube amplification or high-current solid-state power. They create a massive, 3D soundstage with deep bass response that easily renders a subwoofer unnecessary.
Praise from the Audio Press
"A Game Changer" — "If the Tekton Design Pendragons are any clue as to the direction the company is going in, every loudspeaker manufacturer should be taking notes and be a little worried..." — Michael Zisserson, Future Audiophile
"Competes with Ultra-High-End Heavyweights" — "For true, full-range, high end sound there may not be a better value in all of hi-fi right now than the Pendragon... compared against venerable heavyweights such as Wilson Audio's MAXX 3." — Home Theater Review
"Dynamic & True-to-Life" — "What is there to say about the Pendragon's performance, other than it's amazing? It's dynamic, it's true to life in its scale." — Andrew Robinson, Andrew Robinson Online
"Impressive as All Hell" — "The Pendragon from Tekton Design is a monster... big, full range, and the sound is impressive as all hell." — Scot Hull, Part Time Audiophile
