New Meadowlark Swallow monitor

I have heard the Swifts and they kick ass, especially at that price.

I saw the swallows but did not hear them...seriously well built.

I am sure you will not be dis-satisfied (especially once they are broken in.)

Thanks. Pat McGinty was telling me they are built like tanks, he's very excited about them. Are you familiar with the Kestrals and how the Swift compares to them? I'm getting a sense that the Swifts outperform the Kestral, which I believe I have actually seen Pat quoted as saying so. He said to me the Swallow outperforms the Vireo. I've never heard a Meadowlark speaker before actually, but it's easy to get a clear picture of what they sound like based on impressions of others and relating it to my experiences. There's one area in which I can't seem to find a consensus about with Meadowlark speakers and that is in the mid bass. Did the Swift, or the Kestral for that matter, seem lean in the midbass at all, or is it more neutral, or is there a "warmer" trait here? Any commonality among Meadowlark speakers in the midbass? Reason I ask is I'm finding I like a fuller midbass (and midrange for that matter), and even though I will augment them with a sub I am hoping for kind of a fuller midbass.

Based on having had the Kestrel HR and the Shearwater HR, I would agree with a review I once read that there is not a Meadolark sound. The Kestrel and Shearwater are very different speakers. My personal opinion was that the Kestrel might be more suited for HT while the Shearwater is definately a two channel speaker with an excellent woofer delivering the kind of mids you describe.
