| Best Integrated Amp You Ever Heard? I'm not an expert on integrated amps, but I've just sold off my seperates for a Pathos TT (Twin Towers). It's a hybrid int. amp that puts out 35WPC in class A. I've only had it a few days, but I can say that sonically, it's every bit as good as my... | |
| Your Opinion: Coincident Vs. Silverline? I can't speak for the Coincidents, but I do own Silverline Sonata II's. Mine are approx. 20" off of the back wall, and have no problems with booming bass. Most speakers will benefit from being off the back wall a bit. Both speakers have a good rep... | |
| Best monitor under $1000 I can't be for certain that they are the "best" $1,000 monitor, but I can tell you from personal experience that the Dynaudio Audience 52 is a very good monitor speaker with surprisingly solid bass performance. You may even be able to find a used ... | |
| Which is the best amp for Silverline Sonata? First of all, congrats on your choice of speakers...No offense, but the Sonata's will sing once you upgrade the rest of your equipment to the level of the Sonata's. I'm not sure what your price range is, but I'm running my Sonata II's with a BAT V... | |
| Please help me to pick a speaker... The speakers you listed are all very, very good. Just be careful to match your relatively low powered integrated amp with relatively high efficiency speakers with a flat impedance curve. While I like the Dynaudio's, and own some of their bookshelf... | |

| Low cost bedroom speakers Saki70... I own both the Audience 42's (bedroom), and the 52's (family room for A/V system). They are both great little speakers with similar attributes. The 52's are superior to the 42's in many ways (bass, soundstage, fuller sound), but also cos... | |
| Low cost bedroom speakers Dyanaudio Audience 42's are what I have in my bedroom (driven by an 80 wpc Arcam integrated amp). Big sound and nice bass for a small monitor. Just make sure your reciever is at least 80 wpc. You should be able to pick them up used for $400 or so.... | |
| What new gear will you be buying this year? Come April, I hope to be in a position to buy either:A. a used digital source (CDP or transport/DAC) in the $3K or less range.B. a used tube amp in the $3,500 range... don't know if I should go with SET or Push/Pull. Considering Art Audio, VAC, an... | |
| Help me shorten my list... I have firsthand experience with the Soliloquy 6.2i, Silverline Sonata II's, and two variety's of the Dynaudio Audience line. Dynaudio's like some horsepower to get the most out of them, but they are good speakers, and you should be able to get a ... | |
| cary slp-98L vs bat vk3i I have not owned the Cary, but have owned a BAT VK 30 and was not at all impressed. | |
| Where are you from this Christmas.. Merry Christmas from St. Louis, MO. My wife went to a late mass, my kids are asleep, and I finally get some time to myself to listen to some Jack Johnson and surf the gon for my future upgrades! | |
| Secondary Speaker I'd go for something used. If you can find a pair of the original Silverline Sonata's, they would meet all of your criteria. Full range, very efficient, dynamic, performs well with all music types and very appealing looks. Probably can be had for ... | |
| silverline sonata minimum listening distance I have the Sonata II's. 8 ft would be fine... they are not overpowering. Very good value used, and allow many amp configurations. | |
