New Meadowlark Ospreys

I have a pair, one thing I noticed is for lack of better words, the tweeter seemed "large and full". Just a weird conclusion I came to.

I really didn't mess around with them too much as mains, they are the rears in my HT system.

Some of us are sicker than others...

Marty9876, I'm not sure what "large and full" tweeter means. Are you talking about the physical size or the sound ? Boy, for rear speakers you sure went all out. I would love to know what you use for main speakers.

I know, my description sounds crazy. I might me more of a mental thing(the tweeters are physically larger than my mains, Heron I's) but the highs just seemed fuller than I was use to, in a good way.

I kicked the hell out of my self trying to decide on rears...I had listened to the Swifts in home also, bought the Ospreys unheard, we all really should not buy speakers unheard.....

In my direct comparisons, Heron-I's, Swifts and Ospreys, the Herons have a more controlled bottom end.

The Osprey, like all the Meadowlarks from what I've been told, take a while for the bottom end to open up and gain their control. My Osprey have now been cooking for a week and each day that passes, the bass gets deeper and better controlled. I am not familiar with this new Bassic technology, but associated equipment and room placement is critical in achieving the best bass response in your room. I'm still waiting for the speakers themselves to fully break in so that I can find the best room placement and cable synergy to achieve the bass that these are capable of.Once the speakers are where I feel are at their maturity of break in then I want to give a more detailed review on them.Stay tuned.

The new Kestral 2 is featured on the Meadowlark website. I n the picture it looks like they may have switched from the Scan-speak tweeter to the Vifa ring tweeter that has become so popular. no-one is home to answer my email, they are aLL at CES. Price is $1695.
