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.
room treatment panels. they made big diff. with my kestrals in drywalled room. do need breakin so do not sweat it. thin bass may be due to amp output. i am no expert on tube ratings re. push/pull etc. but my mod. jolida (same tubes?) puts out 60 wpc. and they eat every bit of it. maybe push pull is diff? kestrals won't sound 'warm'. they CAN slam with high power but they won't add any bass color. mids and highs are fantastic so don't sweat that. tubies out there may know more but sensitivity is 'only' @88 on k-2's so power may be issue. nice set up!
