Does such a speaker exist?


Full range, with healthy output to the low 30's. Spacious and detailed but not bright. Does not suffer from dynamic compression. Grain free. Glorious midrange, but not at the expense of a taut but extended bass and a sweet treble.

And no more than $10,000

Heard plenty of stuff with great and sweet treble, but lackluster bass.

Or speakers that were all midrange, of bass monsters.

Keep an eye out for a set of Meadowlark Blue Heron 2's, should be about five or six grand, maybe less. These went up against an array of the $20K to $25k highly regarded speakers like Talon, Eggleston, B&W 800S, etc.

I like a double bass woofer setup, they typically have a tighter bass than a single larger woofer.

Meadowlark used high quality components found in speakers costing well over twice the price. They are wonderful vocal and instrumental speakers, but can slam the rock when that's what you want.

"They do most everything right, but are just boring to listen to."

I've had a pair for almost four years and they've never bored me."

I didn't say not to buy them, I just said to listen first. Revel sells a lot of speakers so it would appear that many people do like the way they sound.
For $12,000 and in your choice of veneer, you can have Seas' best drivers and 4 eight inch woofers, each driven by a 300 watt Rythmik amp. Play much lower than 35 hz! I own them and they are the real deal - Salk Exotica 3's.

I'm gonna throw Vandersteen out there. With Vandy subs external or built in. I love my Quatros. Like the 5's and thought the 7's were phenomenal with CAT and Simaudio
I heard the Vandy 5 carbons & 7's have good synergy with the Ayre 20
amps which I could see. Similar I imagine to the synergy of Vitus/Magico &
Soulution/Magico.
