Question about quality of Meadowlark

There have been alot of post's concerning Meadowlark going out of buisness and waranty issues, etc.
I've owned three different pair of Meadowlark speakers. NEVER any problems or failures to operate perfectly everytime. Build quality was top notch.
I seriously doubt there have been very many Meadowlark speakers that quit.
Do prospective buyers really have much to worry about, given the price , sound quality, and the beautiful workmanship put into these speakers?
I'd like to hear from Meadowlark owner's and hear what they have to say instead of folks who automatically wave the red flag.
thanks!

I had a pair of Kestrels for a couple of years and I had a tweeter go bad twice. They did send me a replacment, which I soldered in myself both times. In speaking with them regarding this they did mention that they had been having trouble with this with other customers.

Have owned the Osprey's, Nighthawks, and now the Blue Heron 2's. No trouble to mention. However, now that everything is boxed up (building a new home) and crated, I certainly don't want to sustain any damage at this point, eh?

Currently own Shearwater Hot Rods which are perfect so far. If my room was not so small I'd consider Blue Herons, the i series has my interest. I also have a pair of Kestrel Hot Rods with a broken binding post. I was trying to purchase the posts when Meadowlark went under. They still sound fine (I tie-wrapped speaker wire on post). One of these days I'll get a pair of replacement posts but I'm in no hurry.
It's hard to beat the value these speakers present on the used market!

I'm using Kestral Hot rods in my second system.
First with a Belles 150 SS amp,and now with a CJ MV 55
Tube amp.
They sound great with both amps, and I've had no problems.

If anything did go wrong, the replacement parts can be ordered, so I see no need to worry.

I own a pair of Kestrel 2's and was shocked to hear about Meadowlark. Does anyone have any idea what happened?
