Europa/PSB Silveri/Meadowlark kestrel 2

Working at a Dealer that sells both the PSBs and the Meadowlarks, I would recommend either as a great speaker. I do not have any experience with the Europas. The PSBs are a bit more forward and have better bass extension. They have great tonal balance but tend to bit a little less "deep" in soundstage. The New Kestral 2s soundstage live a bandit and have that "touch" of warmth that you say you like. Not as much slam in the bottom end but VERY well balanced bass for what the do put out. Your 762 should drive either very well unless you have a huge (read 30 X 30) room or want to put a real hurting on your eardrums. Just my 2 cents. Best suggestion is to audition all you can and let your ears decide.

i would agree with the psb.

You are comparing two floor standers to a stand mount. I have heard the PSB Gold i, but not the Krestel2 (just the original HR) and own a piar of the Europas. I have also owned dozens of other speakers in the past 20 years. All 3 of these speakers are excellent choices, but in my experience, the Europas, once broken in and set right, are the most musically enjoying speakers I have owned no matter if I use cheap electronics like my Panny SAX-R45 or my Coda/SF combo in my downstairs rig. For $880, they are one of the best bargins I have come accross.

Have to agree with the Europa's. Just a flat out incredibe speaker that just gets better and better with use.
