Primaluna PL2 which speakers would you choose...


Sorry for the boring question. Just wondering if the upgrade would be worth the money.

Meadowlark Kestrel 2 vs Coincident Triumph Sig. w/PrimaLuna Prologue II.

Gold Lion re-issue KT88s or EH 6550 and preamp tubes recommended to me by Jim McShane.

I currently have the Coincidents. Pretty happy with the sound. The Kestrels are going to cost me an extra grand (3X the price of what I already have).

However, aesthetically I like the Meadowlarks and will likely be my final upgrade budget/size wise. Spec wise/reviews seem to suggest it is what I am looking for.

1st order crossovers, ample efficiency. Non-fatiquing, forgiving, not picking with positioning and Phase/timing coherent design sounds intriguing. Not that I know what that means really, but they're a lot more attractive than the Europas.

I live in an apartment and low-level late night listening is important to me. Looking for tuneful base, effortless musicality, plenty of PRAT, glorious midrange, sweet highs etc....

Is it worth the extra money? The Coincidents are pretty decent.

All opinions appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Incidently, anyone know what a used pair of Kestrel IIs go for used?

Would go with a speaker company that is currently in business.
Spendor,Harbeth, Reference 3a are all tube friendly.
Totem and ATC are also great speakers but a more difficult load to drive.
