Now that you had some time with the Line Magnetic LM-211ia, can you give us some feedback and impressions? Since I have the same speakers, I'd love to hear what your experience has been with this pairing. Please let us know
So far so good, love the tweeters. Really really smooth highs. My only issue is I think they are too big for the room, they deserve more room to breath. Maybe I'll order a set of the OB's.

How do you find the Freya with those? I know Jason has said that because of thr higher gain that a Saga might be best with high efficiency speakers.Hello Fellow Tektonians, Just thought I'd give an update on My Double Impacts. I had a few criticisms in the beginning, I felt highs were not as crisp as my Lores and that bass response was a bit loose with some recordings. Well after 2 years and a bit of downstream upgrading I find performance UNBELEVABLY GOOD! Turns out my room needed treatment, and some more experimenting with placement. Also they just took forever to break in. I work full time and have very little opportunity to really let them run in. I really like these speakers with more powerful amps. My flea powered tube amps have more finesse and were great with the Lore's, but just cant cut it despite sensitivity with the DI's. I cant say I've heard better speakers at 3k, I know some reviews of them besting speakers costing far more seems questionable but I can say its not out of line. Now its time to save for some Ulfberht's!
I think these comments describe my experience really well
"some more experimenting with placement"
"took forever to break in"
Putting my Pendragons into HT use for a couple months really did the trick for break in. I came extremely close to just sending them back. Now I am really happy I didn't. I had them up to 102 db at 3 meters with Sabbath Ironman earlier today and they sounded GREAT

Yeah, that's what jason said too, that the Freya would sound noisy. Transcendent gear is nice.Great taste in music! I'll be jamming some high def Sabbath tonight.
I had a bad experience with the Freya and Schitt. Freya is noisy. Shitt's customer service is like their name. My self built Transcendent sound Masterpiece puts the Freya to shame.
