Meadowlark Ospreys II ? Low Feq. Response?

Hi Dr. Ken,

I auditioned the Ospreys in my room (22x20x10.5) after hearing them at the dealers house. They sounded great in the dealers room. There was plenty of bass. The dealers room was approx. 30x15x7 speakers set up on the long wall. When I got them to my room the bass was missing in action, the speakers became very lean and forward. I tried many different positions in the room but they were always no more than 8' feet from my listening position. That may have had some effect. From what I've read with first order designs you may need to be further back. But I was that close at the dealer and they were fine. The look and the build quality are outstanding and I was very disappointed they didn't work. So, they can sound wonderful but as with any component try them in your room. As they say YMMV. Hope this helps.

Cheers

Dr Ken,

They were 36" from the back of the speaker to the front wall. I had them as close as 12" at one time. According to the dealer they were well broken in. And I auditioned them for three weeks in my room. Again, in the dealer demo room they were fine. Could be the high ceiling in my room and overall volume of my room was just to much for them.

Meadowlark is an excellent company with an excellent reputation. You should hear them for yourself. I only suggest it is in your room with your equipment. Good luck.

Cheers

Hey Krell man, I know you didn't. I wanted to make sure people new the conditions the were auditioned under and the fact that I believe Meadowlark is an outstanding company. Also, I believe you cannot over state how important an audition with your equipment and your room is. I learned that the hard way. Dang near knocked me out of this hobby. Take care.

Cheers
