Proac vs. Meadowlark


I'm interested to know if anyone has listened to both brands. Plan on using them with a all tube system. I'm more interested in two-way speakers.

impressions?

Rg,

You bring up a interesting point about the Proac. Maybe a bit more in the mids, but I don't want to get a sub. Besides, the 1SC does retail for $500 dollars more than the Kestrel, it should be a bit better :) But I think I will focus on the Meadowlark Shearwater used. In fact I started a want add for a pair, in case anyone has a pair that is reading this thread?

After saying all that. I will admit I would gladly listen to the 1SC if I could find someone near me that had a pair close to me.

Cellorver, you sound like your loaded with info! Maybe if I can't get a good deal on the Shearwater's I send you a private e-mail!

thanks!
Cellorover,

I think you pretty well covered it! I was most curious about the bass, and the midrange. I do prefer my midrange a bit sweet, so most likely I will go with Meadowlark. But perhaps I will opt to get a pair of used Shearwaters. I am interested in the Osprey, but it is a bit out of my price range for new. And there aren't enough people here that have lsitened to them yet.

My music? Mostly jazz, blues, and a bit of classical.

thanks for the help!
Cellorover,

Just when I get it down to 2 different speakers, you through another name at me :)

Silverline? hmmm... I'm assuming they are similar to the two I am interested in?
hmmmm parameters? Something that has the Proac midrange magic, with the Shearwater bass. At the price of a used Meadowlark Shearwater. How does that grab you?
