New Meadowlark Swallow monitor


Anybody heard this new monitor version of the new Swift? I have a pair on order and am due to get them soon. Buying before hearing, but have heard nothing but praise about the Swift. Pat McGinty tells me they nicely outperform the Vireo monitor. Love to hear any impressions.

Thanks. Pat McGinty was telling me they are built like tanks, he's very excited about them. Are you familiar with the Kestrals and how the Swift compares to them? I'm getting a sense that the Swifts outperform the Kestral, which I believe I have actually seen Pat quoted as saying so. He said to me the Swallow outperforms the Vireo. I've never heard a Meadowlark speaker before actually, but it's easy to get a clear picture of what they sound like based on impressions of others and relating it to my experiences. There's one area in which I can't seem to find a consensus about with Meadowlark speakers and that is in the mid bass. Did the Swift, or the Kestral for that matter, seem lean in the midbass at all, or is it more neutral, or is there a "warmer" trait here? Any commonality among Meadowlark speakers in the midbass? Reason I ask is I'm finding I like a fuller midbass (and midrange for that matter), and even though I will augment them with a sub I am hoping for kind of a fuller midbass.
