What is the Meadowlark house sound?

Sufentanil, I would agree that for the retail price there are more impressive offerings but I paid $900 for my Shearwater Hot Rods. Best bargain I've found, and belive me I look for bargains.

The Meadowlark speakers tend toward lively, detailed and fast, at least to my ears.

The Shearwater Hot Rods are SENSATIONAL. One of my favorite all time speakers.

Interesting posts. I have owned Kestral 2's (currently for sale) and now Ospreys. My impression is that these are very well balanced speakers and suitable for all types of music. I feel the Kestrals are a great speaker for a smaller room and did need some sub support. The Ospreys offer bigger sound and certainly dig deeper. Ospreys are 3 way also. Ok, I live 1 hour from the now defunct factory. I still find value in something hand made, one at a time in the US, especially my own state. This outsourcing overseas will bite us in the ass someday.

i've had kestral 2's for over 6 mos and used with 170 w/p/c NAD and currently a jolida int. tube amp. Yes,they do lack a bass punch at lower sound levels but pull together nicely at higher volume. the mids and highs are detailed and clear, almost dry with NAD but still very musical. imo these are a great value sonically and the style and finish are superb. these speakers do an awfully lot Right and hardly anything wrong for the $$$. not overly lush nor analytical. not too laid back and yet not too forward... you get the drift. the simple design and quality of these will hold up well over time i think.
