Just brought home a new pair of Kestral 2 in dark ash. This is a second all tube system that I have put together for well under $4000 consisting of Jolida 100A CD player, Jolida 302B integrated amp (tubes rolled a bit in each component for the better) with Synergistic Alpha One IC and Tara Labs Air 2 speaker cables.
I am listening while I write to Particia Barber's "Nightclub" while drinking a Black Russian. All I can say at this early stage is wow, air, soundstage, the sweetest midrange, great bass and treble extension, excellent dynamic range, that ride cymbal sounds real. I could go on and on but I will write a longer review after these are broken in...my wife keeps looking over at me with great approval. WAF is high here. I haven't even spiked them in yet.
Yikes, could I actually sell my Krell KCT/400cx/Thiel CS6 system??? I'll let you know after I get the courage up to play the remastered Zep 2.
Folks, it's that good. Cody, the Air 2s do just fine with these speakers at 2 meter lengths. Pat McGinty, you are a gentleman, an artist, a visionary and a genius.
