New game with active speakers

Meadowlark Audio is back up and running and they are going active for the most part.

They are again making speakers and all of them are active. They do not build passive speakers any more. They look awesome, BTW. With a designer as talented as Pat, I am sure they sound awesome too.

I agree about the Meadowlark website. It is not very good. The information is in there in respect to design, but you have to dig around for it. I can't say for sure, but I believe he is looking to stay small and not get into the dealer network, etc. There is one mention of price on his website for the low end of his line. I talked to Pat on the phone and asked base price on two models. It sounds like he is very busy and getting interest. I understand the reluctance to deal with a company that is not openly discussing return policy or having places to demo. On the bottom of his contact page, there is a link to a forum that discusses some of the newer models, how he is designing, building and testing. It also has a long thread showing the processes he uses to builds cabinets, etc. Meadowlark is just one option in the market for fully active speakers.                                                                                                                              I currently have a fully active pair of Legacy Audio Calibre speakers with crossover duties handled in the digital domain by the Wavelet processor. Each band of drivers has its own amplifier wired directly to it. It really is an advantage to not have passive crossover parts in between the amp and driver. The ability to control and tweak the sound is addictive, plus they sound very good to boot.
