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.

Gee, I didn't know I would have to defend myself.
To Zaikesman: I wasn't recommending first-order crossovers, which isn't to say you wouldn't find them to your liking. I'm simply saying that I've heard two speaker co's with first-order crossovers (Meadowlark and Thiel) and I PERSONALLY didn't care for the sound of either one of them.
However, I have read glowing reviews about various Meadowlark, Thiel, and Green Mountain speakers, they are just not my personal preference. I guess that's why we are so fortunate to have so many speaker manufacturers to choose from.
I've owned two speakers that I've enjoyed: Innersound Eros and Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III - one an electrostat and the other a 'box' speaker.
I'm glad we are all talking about American made speakers.
Happy Listening - no matter what speakers you own!!!

Zaikesman, you wrote an excellent response and I, along with others I'm sure, appreciate your time and consideration, you made good points on all counts. I'm just glad everyone agree's we all have different sonic requirements, taste in music and audio equipment and nobody is 'right' and nobody is 'wrong' just 'to each his own' so.......... I wish happy listening to everyone and I thoroughly enjoy everyone's input on the forum.
