As with Frank, I heard them at the show. They were most impressive with the analogue set up, reflecting the quality of the turntable in that room compared to the digital set up. I have also heard them with CJ electronics and the music just flowed. The feet add stability and I believe can be fitted with spikes/cones, etc. Pat McGinty said that the triangular format provided more stability than a four point rectangle. As for Sunnyjim's comments about sound quality versus price, I believe that Meadowlark is on to something interesting with their BassIC technology. I want to hear the next generation Shearwaters that will use the same technology. I think we will see a resurgance of American made speakers that out perform the European products, are highyl affordable and, more important, very desireable.
Has anyone seen the new Meadowlark Swift?
I just looked at the Meadowlark web page, and they have a new speaker out called the Swift. It caught my attention right away, because it looks just like a short Voigt Pipe, with a tweeter added. A guy on the Speaker Asylum heard them, and posted that they threw a huge soundstage, and were as good as the Kestrels for only $995.
I think it is interesting that now, after all these years, there are numerous Voigt Pipe designs hitting the market, like the Meadowlark Swift, and the Cain&Cain Abby, BD designs, and of course the original Lowther.
Anyone heard any of these speakers, especially the Meadowlark? What do you think of the sound, particularly the bass response?
