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

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.

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...)
