Meadowlark Audio Kestrel 2 Speakers * Curly Maple * Boxes
The Meadowlark Audio Kestrel 2 is a floorstanding, two-way loudspeaker known for its hand-built American craftsmanship and focus on time and phase coherence. These speakers evolved from the original Kestrel, which established Meadowlark's reputation for high-value audiophile performance.
Key Technical Features
- Time-Aligned Design: Features a sloped baffle to ensure sounds from the tweeter and woofer reach the listener simultaneously.
- Transmission Line Loading: Utilizes a transmission line cabinet design for deep, controlled bass extension, typically rated down to 35 Hz.
- 1st-Order Crossover: Employs simple, high-quality crossovers to maintain signal purity and phase accuracy.
- Solid Timber Construction: Built with solid wood (often birch) rather than standard MDF, contributing to a more natural tonal character.
Performance Characteristics
- Imaging and Soundstage: Renowned for creating an expansive, "palpable" soundstage where instruments and vocals remain solidly positioned.
- Sensitivity: With a rating of 89 dB, they are relatively efficient and can be effectively driven by low-powered tube amplifiers as well as solid-state gear.
- Detailed at Low Volumes: Owners frequently note that these speakers provide excellent detail and clarity even at lower listening levels, without needing to be "pushed" to sound alive.
