Upstate NY? You might check Meadowlark Audio speakers. I own both the Kestrel Hot Rods and the Shearwater HRs and love them both. They have a very distinctively different sound though so audition is a good idea unless the used price is too good to pass up. If you contact Meadowlark, currently located in upstate NY, and have any luck please let Agon know as there have been a couple of posts by people who were unsuccessful getting in touch with them (myself included). Good luck.
Speaker advise needed
Hi Guys. My current digs(studio apt, thanx ex wife) require neer field listening. Listening posistion about 9' from speaker plane. I'm considering Gallo Reference III's, Magnapan 1.6's, Thiel 1.6's (preferably) or maybe Spendor 5S. These top my limited list. I'm going to scan Audiogon for one. Listening tastes are electric blues, classic rock(Tull, Deep Purple etc) some jazz. Power will be PS Audio HCA2 and PCA2 with Marantz dv 9500 and still to arrive Sota Moonbeam TT. Any input appreciated as always.
