Upfront I must say I'm one of those with Meadowlarks listed on Audiogon now.
I own both Kestrel Hot Rods and Shearwater Hot Rods, both bought used. Mine were purchased before Meadowlark went under but still at what I consider bargain prices. The Kestrel Hot Rods are a hard speaker to beat for what they are selling for used. They have a very smooth and easy to listen to sound. This is achieved without losing detail or resolution; excellent bass for their size also. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a small floorstander or even someone looking for a stand mounted speaker as they don't take up any more space than stands and image exceptionally well.
BTW my Shearwaters are being sold because we're in the process of building a house and living in an apartment, no room for them. Once the house is built and the listening room is ready, another Meadowlark product, probably Herons, will be highly considered.
