Meadowlark Blue Herron 2 vs. Usher 8871


I have not been able to find much information on either of these two speakers. I am considering a speaker upgrade and am curious as to how these two perform.

My current system consists of (link here on a'gon as well):

Meadowlark Audio Nighthawk speakers
First Sound Presence Deluxe Mk II preamp
Electrocompaniet EMC-1UP cd player
H20 monoblocks (Ice based 250wpc into 8, 500wpc into 4ohm)
BPT 3.5 Signature Balanced Power conditioner
Electraglide Ultra Khan II and Mini Khan Plus power cords on all
Synergistic Research Resolution Reference X2 interconnects
Synergistic Research FX biwire X2 speaker cable.

Let me say I love the natural and lifelike sound of my Meadowlark Nighthawks currently. I would like to look for a similar presentation in a new speaker, however a bit more bottom end and perhaps a bit more dynamics. The Blue Herron 2 would most likely give me what I am looking for, however for twice the price it is not an easy decision.

Again, any comments on either the Usher 8871 or the Meadowlark Blue Herron 2's would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
