Any brand! The Kestrel is a $1400 two way with a 1 Vifa tweeter and a 6.5 Scan Speak woofer. These drivers are mounted on a sloped (time aligned) front baffle which is made of 3/4 MDF. The cabinet is entirely deadened by a proprietary compound called Keldamp. Knocking on these speakers sounds like knocking on three inches of solid wood. For around $400 more, the hot rod version offers even more dampening with additional Keldamp, bi-wire cofiguration, and upgraded internal wire, cap, and crossover elements.The Kestrels are cuties: 36 tall and beautifully veneered. They have a 6.5-inch woofer and a 1-inch fabric-dome tweeter. McGinty uses only non-metal dome tweeters. Are there others? he asked me coyly, knowing full well the inherent nasties that come with a good number of metal-dome jobs. The Kestrels cabinets are very solid--surprisingly so given the price of the speakers. Knock, knock, knocking on them produces only quick, dull thuk sounds. The internal parts are top-notch: high-quality polypropylene capacitors and heavy-gauge air-core inductors, all soldered by hand. The Kestrels also have heavy gold-plated 5-way binding posts and include sets of hardened spikes for coupling the speakers to the floor. And as a final act of quality control, McGinty himself listens to each pair before it ships--an audiophile-approved act of kindness. Smoooootch. The fine details of the Kestrels belie their price and impart a great appreciation for the amount of thought that went into their creation. In fact, many of the Kestrels design elements pull double-duty, performing their intended functions while enhancing others. The inert cabinet, for instance, is braced heavily by cross members that in turn create the transmission line. The cabinet also includes a false bottom, so that the crossover is housed outside the chamber to eliminate any sort of microphonics or microvibration. The baffle, which is elastically decoupled from the rest of the cabinet by a layer of proprietary damping material, is slanted to time-align the drivers and their output. Furthermore, its edges are smoothly rounded to control diffraction. The tweeter has a conical face place to methodically control dispersion and thus reduce room reflections--especially those that come from the floor. And the grille is frameless: it simply slips into a channel around the baffle. Whew! Let me spell out the obvious: the Kestrel is a precision-designed loudspeaker, the antithesis of some speakers which are more prototype and promise than finished product. *52nd and Lowell Polk,Marantz,denon,REL,Yamaha,onkyo,PioneerElite,Sonos,BostonAcoustics,definitive,svs,bowers Wilkins,kef,McIntosh,BangOlufsen,focal,klipsch,jbl,MartinLogan,wharfedale,Sony,velodyne.
