Meadowlar Osprey...How does it sound???


Any owners of the Ospreys out there? I'd like to get feedback to determine if I should upgrade from my current Shearwaters to the Osprey...

Is it worth the upgrade is the bottom line...
How much better is the Ospreys vs Shearwaters...

Feedback is greatly appreciative...
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the feedback...I normally listen to Jazz and Classical and with my current Shearwaters, they seem to be great...I am happy, just thought I get feedback for the Ospreys...Ken, do you like the Ospreys more than the Tyler and JMlab? Also, Nighthawk looks nice, but would be too big for my room. What are you driving the Ospreys with?

Also, that's Sedona...I don't really listen to rock much, but when I do, you're right, its not as good as my old Klipsch.

Thanks all.

I never owned them, but tested every model in their line for about 2 years now, everytime I go the shop,,,I cannot get into their sound unless its the larger model with the treated paper scan speak drivers...the name escapes me...

They always feel like there is a curtain in front of them...does that mean recessed midrange?
Do you mean the Blue Herons? the first version?
I have the Shearwaters and it has the paper scanspeak...
I don't experience the "curtain" feeling, just that they are a laid back sound, that's for sure!
So, what do you own Jsujo?
Sedona: If high volume freedom from congestion or compression is your priority, why do you recommend first-order speakers at all? (Asked as a Thiel owner, BTW...)
This response is targeted to Zaikesman's comment specifically:

Wait a minute! Do be careful when making a generalization such as that! If you wrote that sentence to ellicit a response, you got it!

I have Green Mountain's C1.5i 3-way floor standers. These are also 1st-order speakers & I cannot hear any high volume congestion! High volume congestion might be a "feature" of Thiel & Meadowlark speakers (from what Sedona & you state) but it is NOT a "feature" in GMA 1st-order speakers. I also suggest to audition/listen to one or more GMA products to convince yourself, if you haven't already.
IMHO.
