Speaker Cable for Meadowlark Kestrel 2

Those Kestrel 2s are definitely lookers.

Hard to imagine cables more different than the DNM Reson and the Analysis Plus Oval 12. I preferred solid core cables with my Kestrel 2s. It won't help much as they are no longer in production but Music Metre Signature Series standout in my memory.

What I believe made a real difference with my Kestrels was ditching the original plinths and setting the speakers on a set of Sound O City outriggers. Made them look better too.

I just checked Sound O City's web page and found a picture of mine in their gallery. It was in my system page here when I owned them. This picture really takes me back,hah!

Do you agree that the Kestrel 2's leave you in no doubt of whats going on upstream?

I never really thought about the Kestrel 2s in that vein, but now that you mention it. I took a look at the pic I linked above and noted it was shortly after purchasing the Kestrel 2s that I became dissatisfied with the Classe amp. I went searching for a more full bodied amp as the Classe seemed lifeless through the Meadowlarks.

They are a perfect example of the quality sound you can get on the used market for not a lot of money. If you found a pair in good cosmetic condition you were very fortunate.

Like Coolhand's experience, I still have a pair of the original Meadowlark Kestrels. They were the first speakers I used that presented music in a totally relaxed and natural way. Sure I could sell them for a few hundred bucks, but I could never find the joy they bring for that money.
