Opinions on the new Meadowlark Kestrel '2'
Also add Vandersteen 2 sigs to your audition list... 
What's you opinion?
Well...if you think there are very few decent loudspeakers...try finding a musical sub...slim pickings...there is REL,Sunfire(much to hi enders dismay),M&K, hi end Velodyne...ect...

Comparison between Sunfire and REL subs ????
Sunfire has a bad rep in "hi end circles"...mainly due to the poor quality of Carver componets after Bob left...bottom line: a sub is a driver AND an amp...a very powerful one at that...REL are nice..but Sunfire is no slouch...I dont find them "bo... 
Front port vs. Rear Port

Front port vs. Rear Port

How many Maggie owners have special stands?

Comparison between Sunfire and REL subs ????
I find Sunfire a bit more "aggressive" in nature than REL...this could also be slightly exaggerated due to the REL being a more laid-back, Brit sound sub...both are very clean and musical...and considering there are really only a handful of decent...

Here's a "must have" for you female vocalists fans
Overall she is a bit polished and slickly produced...hopefully her next recording will have more grit and life...maybe even a live one 
Train "Drops of Jupiter" bad recording?
Have to agree...Train is annoying...almost as much as Counting Crows...which is saying something...SACD or not...Im not buying...
