Important Info for Meadowlark Owners

I don't see my post under 'Meadowlark kestrels' and maybe I'm the last one to find out, but, I've found that the sloping baffle of the Kestrels'makes them an entirely different speaker with my ears way up at 48 to 50 inches off the floor. Gorgeous soundstage, tonal purity, amazing detail without any high frequency nastiness. Ratchet up your chair and hear them for the first time.

I have also found that height makes a big difference.

How far away from the speakers is your listening position?

Kitch, I have owned Meadowlark Kestral Hotrods for about 3 months now. I am still having a hard time getting used to them, the highs on some recordings seem to be muffled, it's as though a blanket were over them. They otherwise sound great. I have thought about changing amps, currently using Linn LK100, only 50 watts per channel. My listening room is my spare brdroom, has a futon which sits fairly low, I will try to adjust the height somehow to try your tip.
Thanks,
Dan

Hey Dan,

Are you sure that the tweeters are working?

Dan. I owned a pair of Kestrel Hotrods. I had a very different experience. Highs were very much there. I have no way of knowing what you are describing, but something doesn't seem right. Could it be that you are looking for too much out of bad recordings?
