What temperament(s) would be suitable to use with the Mendelssohn Piano Concerto #1 in G-minor? Explanations are very helpful to my understanding of proper and improper temperaments to use. Wanting to expand the number of tools in my temperament tool-box. Addressed to the list ... Short answers please. Addressed to me... you can write a whole book. Thanks! David David A.

click here to download text as PDF File Hot! Rod! Kestrel! Don't stop drivin' it! Review by Wayne Donnelly Hot Rod Kestrel Loudspeakers: $1695 per pair Manufactured by Meadowlark Audio, 800 Starbuck Ave Ste A103, Watertown, NY 13601 (315)779-8875 Type: two-way transmission line Frequency response: 38 Hz-20kHz (+2dB) Nominal Impedance: 8 Ohms Efficiency: 89dB/watt/meter Tweeter: 1-inch fabric dome Woofer: 6.5-inch mineral-filled poly cone Size: 36 x 8 x 9 inches (HxWxD) Weight: 46 pounds each I first read about the Meadowlark Kestrels in Art Dudley's Listener review back in 1995. Artie had a lot of useful things to say (including an explanation of the transmission line featured in all Meadowlark speakers), and it would be worth your time to check out his piece. (It's on www.meadowlarkaudio.com) But what made the review stick in my mind was Artie's comment, "I think these might actually be the greatest bargain in American hi-fi today." I didn't listen to any Meadowlarks until three years later, when the Stereophile show came to San Francisco. I passed an enjoyable hour in the Meadowlark room, playing for Pat McGinty and his people one selection after another from the CDs I was carrying-including one by the lovely and talented Valentina Lisitsa, much celebrated in the pages of Listener. Pat offered no pitch, no structured demo-it was just some guys groovin' on the music. That's rare enough at any big audio show to leave a lasting impression. When I suggested to Artie that Listener should cover the Hot Rod Kestrels, I'd already purchased a pair a couple of months earlier. I was assembling a second system upstairs in my bedroom, partly to create a context for auditioning the affordable-in-the-real-world gear that Listener mostly focuses on- and a pair of Kestrels seemed just right, physically and fiscally. I couldn't review this pair, though, because I had already modified them with my favorite audio magic bullet, Jack Bybee's Quantum Purifiers. To save me from having to surgically restore my pair, Pat McGinty sent me some stock (!) Hot Rod Kestrels.
