advice on integrated amp
Meadowlarks sound good with just about any high quality amp.In your price range check out the Rega Mira (new ~ $900), or Creek 5350SE (used ~ $1000). 
Quick bi-wire question
I own a Creek 5350SE. It has A+B speaker selector switch, I use 4 seperate runs of Kimber 4TC. I contacted Creek Audio and they recommend biwiring this way. I even asked which was better:A to one speaker, B to the otherorA to treble, B to bass.The...

Where does your user name come from?
My username is a relection of my love for this hobby. The "K" is in there because at the time I signed up with Audiogon I had a mostly Linn system. I have since moved on to other brands, but have kept a "K" in my username and password for this and... 
Audio as a hobby
I do triathlons and barefoot water ski. These have both consumed more time than audio for the past 15 or so years.The older I get the easier it is to let the time tip toward the pursuit of audio/music.However I will never give up the active hobbie... 
What is the best receiver Marantz put out?
I had a Marantz 2270 (1973-1994). A great reciever, probably the best Marantz. It was built like a tank. Sounded very clean, powerful. It had a great tuner.I sold the reciever with a pair of large Advents (1978 model year) for $200 to a friend. BT...

Manners, Eticks & Audiogon --- What do you think???
Cloudgif,I share your frustration with unanswered inquiries. At least 4 different times I have responded to for sale ads, only to get no response. Even after 3-4 repeat inquiries. Eventually I just give up, usually the item is marked sold some day... 
Center Channel Placement Issue. Need Help
I have a Meadowlark Petral (large speaker) on top of a Sony t.v. It hangs over several inches. I have used a combination of velcro and Blu Tack between the speaker and top of the t.v. It holds very well. I also use 2 kinds of rubber doorstops betw... 
Best live album you've ever heard?
"Bob Marley Live". Not just a great album, but a moving music experience. 
Bluegrass question: Describe what the difference
Nickel Creek would definitely be third generation. How about Allison Kraus?I also love bluegrass and country (Americana) music. I am surprised at how many audiophiles don't care for this music as it is some of the best "sounding" available.Cheers 
Beatles "She Loves You" on Swan label
Try Bill Wolfe at Brookhavenrecords.com. Good Luck 
Meadowlark Swift...How do they sound?
I just heard a pair of the Swifts today. They have that Meadowlark quality about them. They are very smooth and easy to listen to, however they sounded a little lean in the bass. Having said that they were brand new and not yet broken in. Also the... 
Preamps w/ built in Tuners
Adcom makes one, I believe Parasound does as well. I used to own the Adcom GTP 450, not a bad unit. Good Luck.
