Pardigm 60v.2, Meadowlark Hot Rod Shearwater


or Def Tech BP7002
I am leaning towards one of these.
I want to do both 2 chanel and HT with an emphisis on 2 chanel. My listening area is 22x15 with a 10x10 off that. My sitting area faces the long side of the room.

I listen to a variety of music but mostly rock. Want to be able to turn it up when the wife is out, who by the way is more interested in HT.
Have listened to B&W 703/704, Definitive Technology BP7001, BP7004/06(my local dealer didn't have the 7002) and Energy C9. I liked them all. Would prefer a speaker I don't need a seperate sub.
Axiom, Monitor, PSB, RBH, Athena, Theil and Pinicle are other considerations. I am looking for good codition used so I can get a little more quality for my money. Looking at Rotel, Marantz and NAD for amps. Any other sugestions? Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi, I just purchased a pair of the Shearwater hotrods here on A'gon, for a fantastic price. Looking forward to receiving them and installing....they will be driven by the Coda Continuum Unison integrated which is proving to be really natural sounding with the feature where you can trim down the gain on each channel & impart a bit more warmth like tubes. Should be a fantastic match w/the Shearwaters.

I couldn't find the thread about the trouble at Meadowlark- could someone fill me in, or provide the link to that thread? Thank you- Chris.
I know at least that the woofer is the Danish Scanspeak, so it should be readily available. I also remember reading somewhere that the tweeter is basically the same thing as the famous Revelator, minus a couple minor components. So if something should happen it seems you will always be able to find a replacement. These drivers are regarding the Shearwater hotrod, which is what I have purchased. Anyone have a link to articles/forum posts about Meadowlark's troubles?
Thanks Chris.
