Meadowlark Swift vs. Soliloquy vs. Concertinos

I heard some Meadowlarks just the other day.They sounded ok but it could have been the gear, a VTL intergrated and a Rega planet.It lacked the last bit of air on the cymbals that I'am use to.I found I had to turn up the volume to really hear the soundstage.The midrange is really good on these speakers.The Solilquys sound more physical to me with more air and weight to the music.Midrange is on par with the Meadowlarks .It's hard to say what will match up with your gear.I'am not familiar with the Concertinos and can't comment on them.Which model of Soliloquy are you looking at? This will make it a little easier.

I guess as far as the power conditioning goes it depends,which ever pleases you most.I can't tell the difference with my amp being plugged into a power conditioner but my cd-p is a different story.Yeap that's what I heard with the Swifts,they were a little rolled off on the top end.The 5.0s are some great little speakers.They are extremely open and airy.It will take 400 or 500 hrs of playing time to really hear them.But once you get use to the open sound it will be hard to look at another speaker.I cannot rememer if they are biwireable.But if so I would advise you to biwire them.I have tried it both ways and there is a definite difference.I want even listen to my 6.3s unless they are biwired.Listening to vocals and acoustic music or any other kind ,you really can't go wrong with the Soliloquys.Hope this helps!

Since my last post ,I have listened to the Concertinos. I think they a terrific speakers.But from all that I've heard the Soliloquys are still the better value and give up nothing in performance out of the 3 makers listed.The Sonus Fabers are beautiful speakers but over priced IMHO.
