Silverline Minuet Speakers and Receivers or Amps

I recently read a review of the Minuets where the reviewer felt that the Minuets "did not like receivers". I am not all that informed on the subject of audiofidelity and was wondering how a speaker might differentiate between the power source in a receiver versus the power source of an amplifier and how that would impact the sound quality. The reason I ask is that I am trying to chase down a pair of Minuets to use with my Harman Kardon HK 3490 receiver. Any insight would be most appreciated.

Great to hear it, Mntnman62! I wouldn't worry about holding back on the Minuets for the first 50-100 hrs, though. Alan builds very rugged speakers. Although I never heard the Minuets with a subwoofer, I can imagine that the combo, once dialed in properly, would be quite satisfying. And being eager to get home and listen is a very good sign!

I have the same subwoofer with these speakers and once you get them dialed in, its a great little setup. I have them on a onkyo 7555 integrated amp.

I listened to a good number of speakers in the $1200 and under range and then decided to buy these without an audition based on the strength of the reviews. I also needed very small speakers. I wasn't disappointed.

Quick question: I'm using the Minuet Supremes in a HT setup. Any suggestions about the best AV receiver to match up with these babies? I'm looking to spend $500-$700, and happy to buy used equipment. Thanks!
