Description

Thanks for all the threads urging me to wait patiently for the Kestrels, it was worth it. The music has an overall integration, highs are smooth and extended, bass sounds solid and tight. But the mids are where the system really shines. My next upgrade is a good rack and changes to the room. Any comments or opinions are appreciated. Thanks for viewing.

Give those Meadowlarks some time to break in and you won't be sorry. A truly great speaker. But they will need around 400 hours. Try just leaving them on when you doing things around the house and those 400 hours will pass by in no time. Enjoy...
