The Pendragons definitely present a bigger and more fun sound than the Prodigys. But I think they're conceptually similar sonically, both being 1) dipole, 2) planar, 3) 2-way, 4) hybrids.
I think the Ron of seven years ago did a decent job of predicting which loudspeaker the Ron of today would like.
I don't think these speakers or anything else can beat horns/front-loaded woofers for the reproduction of piano, but I love these things on vocals. I think about them at the moment what I posted about ribbon drivers versus electrostatics several years ago: the ribbon driver gives up one smidgen of transparency, but you get two smidgens of corporeal body and weight in return.
I am happy with this trade versus the Martin-Logan Neolith. And I think the tower of woofers integrates better with a panel than do woofers mounted in the bottom of the cabinet.

I am actually not sure why I shoved the amps to the edges. Tonight I decided tentatively that I'd rather not have them near the line of fire of the back wave of the ribbon panels, so I moved the amps to the more conventional middle position of the room.

Kudos for avoiding drywall. It may not be practical but fire is the ultimate mood lighting. Listening in complete darkness is not for me. Fire really enhances the texture of wood. There i go again. Spending other peoples money.
It is a wide-band positive neutrino generator made by a small company in The Netherlands. The neutrinos are believed to impinge upon microstructures in the eardrums and improve the linearity of high frequency hearing response.
Actually, the carpet section is not decorative. With the rest of the unused carpet roll I had the carpet company cut several different sized pieces, and then edge-bind them.
I intend to experiment acoustically with these carpet pieces to increase or decrease the floor reflections around the speakers.
That was my original thinking, but it seemed a little crowded in those corners. And I don't think I want the amplifiers near the line of fire of the back-wave of the panels.
So last night I moved them to a more typical middle position.
But I did remove the red/white warning poles, since JimFord told me he was not going to wander back there and poke around.
