New Swifts vs. used Kestrel Hot Rods


I'm looking to upgrade from Paradigm Titans in my bedroom (which sound amazing for the money). Been thinking of a used pair of Kestrels, but now the Swift is out and seems interesting. Power is vintage Mac tube gear. Anybody A-B compared these two speakers?

I listened to both at a local store and I used to own the Kestrels.
Kestrel, no comparison. The fact is the Swifts may advertise frequency response lower than the Kestrels but the Kestrels have more bottom end. The Swifts just did have the low end or presence the Kestrels had.
This was comparing non-HR Kestrels.
Also, the Swift has a nicer finish but I like the Kestrel profile better.
