| 1000 budget for speakers and integrated - HELP The AR Complete is the way to go on the amp side. As stated, it may hurt the budget for speakers. You are on target with the Kestrels, but to make the budget work and still keep that Meadowlark magic, try the Vireos. The Vireo is perfect for the m... | |
| Best 2W Speaker under 1500 I highly recommend the Meadowlark Vireo. Meadowlark has never really promoted this speaker. They should. It is accurate, fast, musical and joy to listen to, especially with tubes. It has very good bass. Burn in time is about 100 hours. New around 1K. | |
| Need more bass response Your complaint and, shall we say, skepticism are well founded. I think you have all the right feedback, so let me try and simplify it. Rock recordings are typically mastered differently than jazz or classical. They tend to be compressed (remember ... | |
| Personal amp evolution When I started this thread, I thought that it would be easy to remeber, as well as shorter than the thread on the speakers. I was wrong and I even I suffered a lapse of memory for the last years of college, graduate school and the first few years ... | |

| Meadowlark Heron i compared to Revel F-50 or F-30? Have you seen the new Heron review on the Meadowlark website? | |
| What's the best 5 disc cd player for under 1,000? I agree with Sugarbrie. Another option is a Stan Warren modified Pioneer CD V503 (number is right, but letters may be off). The player is available from Costco for $179 and the mod is $250. Good luck. | |
| Meadowlark Heron i compared to Revel F-50 or F-30? I have heard both at different places but with the same electronics. I bought my own cables to keep things as equal as possible. Overall, I prefer the Heron. It is more musical and transparent. I was captivated by the sound and music. I liked the ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century How does it compare to the CJ Premier 16 Series 2, which is a sleeper? | |

| Speaker Cable for Interconnect The Nordost will be clean, open and musical, but a little thin. You can fix that if you run them shot gun. They are not that easy to work with. You need a sharp razor blade, a good cutting board and patience. The Kimber may be better. Get some goo... | |

| 1000 budget for speakers and integrated - HELP I cannot argue with anyone, the AR Complete is a great integrated. It is more musical and dynamic than the Creek 4330. But this is not to say that the 4330 is a dog. It is good. Kestrels are great, but at your budget go with the Vireos. Call Pat M... |
