Europa/PSB Silveri/Meadowlark kestrel 2


I've just updated my main system , and am considering the above 3 speakers for my HT system. I like laid back, warm sound from my system. I've a NAD T762 which does a competent job. I'm not a bass freak ... So lack of bass from any of the above speakers is not an issue with me.
So has anyone in the forum compared the three? I'm leaning heavily towards the silveri even though I'm told that they are discontinued ....

Thanks,
C

You are comparing two floor standers to a stand mount. I have heard the PSB Gold i, but not the Krestel2 (just the original HR) and own a piar of the Europas. I have also owned dozens of other speakers in the past 20 years. All 3 of these speakers are excellent choices, but in my experience, the Europas, once broken in and set right, are the most musically enjoying speakers I have owned no matter if I use cheap electronics like my Panny SAX-R45 or my Coda/SF combo in my downstairs rig. For $880, they are one of the best bargins I have come accross.
I like the appearance of the Europa's art deco look. The wife likes it also. If you like the speakers now, wait until they break in. Bass and soundstage will increase. Talk with Roy for placement positions and advice. In my use, I have them toed in pretty good, play around with them a bit once they are broken in.
