Agree with Trelja...I found the Swifts to be extremely bass shy and thin in the midrange...for the extra $500 or so...I would go with the original Kestrals....they have a much fuller presentation...and the bass is more prominent...the Swifts sound more like monitors that come with stands....I have heard the Shearwaters and they are very impressive...lets hope the Osprey can do the same...does it have the new BASSIC technology?
New Meadowlark Ospreys
I know these are new and shipment is just starting. Has anyone had a serious audition, especially comparing to the comparably priced HR Shearwaters ? I have been told that the new Ospreys pretty much blow away the Shearwaters in every respect. I don't have a dealer nearby to audition, so would like an impression from a golden-eared Audiogoner. Thanks.I have also heard that Meadowlark is coming out with an all new Kestral II that is a big improvement over the previous versions.
