New Swifts vs. used Kestrel Hot Rods

As a Swift owner, I would like to add that this speaker can do all types of music, especially jazz. It is not hollow and with correct placement the mid to low bass fills the room, is very satisfying and one of the speakers strong points. Don't listen to people who haven't spent time with this speaker in their own environment. Also it has to have close to 100 hrs break in and then it really starts to open up, sounding better and better with each listening session. What it does for its size and cost is incredible.

Absolutly true Phasecorrect, you can only expect so much from a 5" driver but then again, no speaker is perfect and the law of diminishing returns comes into play. It's just where you make the cut off point for your personal needs.
Indeed the Kestral is fine and so is the Vandy. I wish I had them all! Good thread.
