Silverline Minuet Speakers and Receivers or Amps

Thanks for each of your responses. Mine are also for my basement gym/drum room Martykl. You've confirmed what my instinct was telling me. I have the order in and am salivating in anticipation of hearing from the retailer that they have received them to ship them out. Frankly, of all the reviews that I have read about these speakers, and I have probably read every single one, including a recent one from the 2010 CES (?) show, that single comment was the only one you could identify as negative. I'm stoked to get em set up and fired up for some Zappa, Was (Not Was), Tubes, Return to Forever............

Thanks for everyone's insight. I truly can't wait for them to get here. I thought I would give you the link to the "review". Clearly he made a blind statement without providing any basis for the statement.

You need to scroll down to the section titled Minimonitor

Well, I went a head and ordered the Minuets. They ship out today. Hope to have them by the weekend. Can't wait to hook them up and see how they sound.

This is just a follow up. I recieved the Minuets at my front door yesterday and was as excited as a kid on Xmas/Chanukah as I opened up the box after coming home from work. My first reaction was "man these things are small". It turns out that looks can be deceiving. I immediately hooked them up and spent the rest of the evening going through my collection listening to my favorite stuff. That spanned a whole range from Brecker/Hancock/Hargrone - New Directions (Naima), Zappa - Overnight Sensation, Tubes - Tip of My Tongue, Was (Not Was) - Mr. Alice, Hello Operator, Return to Forever - RTF Returns, Earth Wind & Fire - Live in Tokyo, Steely Dan - Aja, George Duke - Illusions.....and the list goes on. I have to say the reviews I have read are right on. They have a clear, clean and full sound. Vocals are especially clear and vibrant. Mid range is excellent. I found that the tonal qualities of many of the tom-toms on drum tracks is incredible. I've never heard that before on my Paradigms or Cambridge Soundworks. My room conditions are less than ideal, but even so, these little speakers filled my basement with sound. I am going easy on them for the first 50 to 100 hours to give them a chance to break in. They sound fantastic with my Harman Kardon HK 3490 along with a Polk PSW10 sub. Now all I can do is think about getting home to listen to more music. I highly recommend them to anyone with limited space issues or a need for a pair of bookshelf speakers. You will not be disappointed. And for the record, these things DO like receivers!
