I have the Heron Hot Rods in my second system. They are a very fine speaker and associated equipment can make a very big difference. They are good enough to show any weaknesses. They are very efficient. I am running mine through an 18 watt Audio Note P2 and it drives them to quite satisfying volumes. Your room size sounds pretty ideal. I am not sure your amp is refined enough for these. I am not saying it is not a good amp but these speakers need refinement over power. Pat at Meadowlark is always helpful so why not give him a call.
UsedMeadowlark "Heron" i vs Von Schweikert VR-4G3?
I have an opportunity of buying from a friend going through a divorce either a "used" pair of Meadowlark Heron"i" or used Von Schweikert VR-4 Gen3. (the Vons are about $200 less) I have a living room that is approx 15X20 with a 10 ft sloped ceiling. I have only read one review on the 'Larks; I like the Von Schweikert design, but the rear firing tweeter which functions as an "ambient recovery system" seems hoaky and similar to the OHM, Mirage, and early Infinity speaker devices. I know there are many VSA fans out in Audiogon land, but I would like to hear all opinions.FYI: I have an Aragon 4004MK2 amp and Conrad Johnson PV-8 which has been modified for lower noise and is a killer pre-amp. Please advise and Thank you, Jimbo
