Bass of the Meadowlark Osprey


To those who own the Meadowlark Osprey, does the quality and quantity of the bass deepen after a certain amount of time? I love everything about this speaker except the bass, although they only have about 100 hrs on them and the company says it takes between 200 and 300 hrs - I'm wondering if that's true?

Also, I'm looking for an integrated amp to drive these, any recommendations in the $1000. used price range? I find it hard to believe tubes would do the job but I really don't have any concrete experience to base that on.

Any and all comments will certainly be appreciated.
Thanks

I want to thank everyone for their replies - I am playing my Osprey's at least four hrs a day and hoping that at some point the bass will start to fill - I kept my Hsu sub just in case!
I owned the Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III and they had plenty of bass although I am happier with the Osprey at this point - plus they look a heck of a lot better. I'm considering the Jolida integrated hybrid (1501) to drive the Osprey's.
Thank you for the comments and recommendations.
I heard the Ospreys at great length and lack of bass never came to mind. Actually I was very impressed with that spectrum more than anything else(fast,detailed,deep and tight). Top notch bass!
I just received a near new pair of Ospreys less than one week ago (about 40-50hours). My initial impression is that the sound was just plain poor. My wife and I knew that they took a lot of time to break in but we were not sure that we could stand to wait that long. My Montana SPIIs were better in nearly every way. However with about 25-30 hours of loud music (when not at home) the sound is improving rapidly. At this point the bass is still not very deep but the quality is improving. On some music the sound is very good already. I will try to update my impressions in about 2-3 weeks. Thanks, Nita
Alright, I own a pair of the Osprey's and let me EMPHASIZE I broke in my speakers at moderate listening levels... loud talking levels, however not shouting... I say this due to the fact my pair easily required 5-600 hours before the bass started to flesh out under the 45-50 Hz range. As for system matching I have a Unison Research Unico (NOS Mullard input tubes) coupled with a Jolida JD-100A (NOS Bugle Boy tubes) cd player. All cabling is Synergistic Research, with all going through a Balanced Power Tech BP-3.5. The Osprey's are nothing short of glorious. The finesse, detail, natural timbre, harmonics, dynamics both micro and macro... I have owened Thiel, Martin Logans, Soliloquy, Dynaudio, and the like. These will be here to stay... However, if you are looking for floor shaking bass, these may not deliver, they do go deep and are acurate, articulate and correct in timbre, they may not rattle your windows if that is more important than all around sonic integrity.
By the way... anyone esle get any custom woodwork done on their Ospreys? I went with the Pommele Sapele sides with a Mahogany Baffle with Walnut stringer... they look good. Let me know if anyone wants picks...
