Important Info for Meadowlark Owners

Kitch, I have owned Meadowlark Kestral Hotrods for about 3 months now. I am still having a hard time getting used to them, the highs on some recordings seem to be muffled, it's as though a blanket were over them. They otherwise sound great. I have thought about changing amps, currently using Linn LK100, only 50 watts per channel. My listening room is my spare brdroom, has a futon which sits fairly low, I will try to adjust the height somehow to try your tip.
Thanks,
Dan

Hey Dan,

Are you sure that the tweeters are working?

Dan. I owned a pair of Kestrel Hotrods. I had a very different experience. Highs were very much there. I have no way of knowing what you are describing, but something doesn't seem right. Could it be that you are looking for too much out of bad recordings?

Kitch. I believe the sloped baffle is what makes them time aligned. I don't know. I am just assuming, but, if you sit above the tweeters, wouldn't that defeat the purpose? I have to ask. Are the speakers level, from front to back. I have Heron I's and my listening position is not that high.

Bl, you make a good point and I had thought about it. No question that the geometry and time alignment changes. However, the sound becomes magical at the higher position. I guess all those non-time-aligned speakers have something going, too. I just wish my feet touched the floor!
Seriously, though, it could be my room. I've used everything but a dowsing rod to try for a good soundstage and stable image. This works for me but maybe won't make sense for others.
