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

I owned the Osprey's for two months before I sold them to a friend - he absolutely loves them. They probably weren't fully broke in as Meadowlark recommends a 300 hr break in period. If you don't listen to music very loud - it is probably a good speaker - I listen to mostly classic rock and thought they sounded terrible. To my ears the Osprey sounded extremely congested. I would STRONGLY recommend you audition other speakers that utilize a first-order crossover before you purchase the Osprey's. Having said that, the woodwork was absolutely first rate - great piece of furniture.
Best of luck.

I haved owned Ospreys for 8 months. Highly recommend them. Very musical, good at sound staging. Previously had Tyler Acoustics and JMLab Mini-Utopias.

I use in 2 CH all tube audio system. Listen to Jazz, Classical and some rock. Normal listening is 80 - 86 db. When I want to turn it up I listen in the 92 - 98 range for rock and Classical. I have not heard the congestion mentioned by Sedona. Plus I have heard them really loud at dealer with all solid state without congestion. So my guess is that what Sedona heard is system dependent.

If you want to feel the kick drum or Tympani then then speakers will NOT do it for you. A single 7" woofer can't deliver it. So either get a sub or move up to the Nighthawk.

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.
