Tubed integrated for PBN Montana SP 3?
What does anybody think about the Rogue Audio Tempest Magnum integrated tube amp? and more importantly how it might sound with the PBN Montana SP3s? 
What's your profession? Age?
At 45, and an Oceanographer, I've been interested in hi-end audio only several years. During this time upgraded numerous times and have arrived at a 2 channel system worth approx. $12k and Home theater worth $5k. At this point in my system, I esti... 
Floorstanders for small rooms? Budget $1200 used
I would go with the Meadowlark Kestral 2s over the Soliloquy 5.3s. I have had both and the Kestrals have a far more detailed mid-band which works really well with jazz and classical music. I detected some coloration in the mid-band with the Solilo... 
Montana Speakers? Have they fizzled out?
One more thing...I have bought and sold at least a dozen speakers on Audiogon. My experience is that used speakers sell for roughly half retail cost, specifically those in the 8/10-9/10 rating. I agree with Jamesg the larger/heavier model such as ... 
Montana Speakers? Have they fizzled out?
Hi all. Jamesg quoted my response to him regardng the Montana SP IIs that I sold him. Let me reiterate and say that I did indeed regret selling my SP IIs as these were the most musical speakers I have ever heard; among them dynaudio Contour 3.4, 1... 
Review: Tyler Acoustics Taylo Ref Monitor
Well the meadowlark Kestral 2s and the Soliloquy 5.3s are out of the system, and PBN Montana SP IIIs and Tyler Acoustics Tylo reference monitors are in. I found a great deal on a pair of PBN Audio Montana SP IIIs in birdseye maple finish. I needed... 
Review: Tyler Acoustics Taylo Ref Monitor
Hi,I just bought a pair of the Tyler Tylo reference monitors on A-gon and am psyched about trying them out. I got an incredible deal and will test them against Soliloquy 5.3 and 5.0 and Meadowlark Audio Kestral 2s. Read an impressive litany of rev... 
Cables for Meadowlark Audio Kestral 2 speakers....
I am really enjoying the K2s. I can't remember when music sounded so detailed, extended and just vibrant. The review from 6 moons indicated a nice tight, rythmic bass response...not the bass slam you can get from some speakers. My assessment is mu... 
Cables for Meadowlark Audio Kestral 2 speakers....
Yes, they are used; in prefect condition with about 300 hours on them (at least according to the seller). For $1200.00 I think I got a good deal on a pair of decent speakers. 
Cables for Meadowlark Audio Kestral 2 speakers....
BTW, for all you owners and former owners of Meadowlark Kestral 2s I would be interested to hear your audiophile opinion of the speakers. Thanks.

How much burn-in for Soliloquy 5.3s
YOU GUYS WERE RIGHT!!!!!!I managed to log about another 150 hrs (beyond the 50 the dealer said were on them) on my Soliloquy 5.3s. The sound has improved significantly; treble sweetly extended, the bass deep and firm, and with alot more air betwee... 
Soliloquy and bad crossovers
To JimD: Don't get me wrong customer service is great and David Berman extremely helpful. I was just posting his response regarding a bad batch of cross-overs that seemed to only be an issue with the 6.3s. The original info I got on the bad Solilo... 
Soliloquy and bad crossovers
I had contacted David Berman regarding bad cross overs with the following reponse: "We had no run of bad crossovers being installed in Soliloquy products. We did have an issue in 1999 with the 6.3 crossover not performing as well as we like, but t... 
How much burn-in for Soliloquy 5.3s
I recently found out (through Audioasylum.com) that Soliloquy installed a bad bacth of crossovers in their speakers some years ago and was wondering: 1) if anybody else heard the same thing, 2) if so, what year(s) did these duds get released, and ...
