Silverline sr 12 & sr 11
I have owned the SR-15s and SR-11s (twice). Why twice? The SR-11s were first and I liked them. Thought the 15s would be an upgrade but they weren't IMO. It had more to do with the presentation than tone. The 11s have a more natural, musically invo... 
What paint sheen?
I think he's asking which finish will render the best sonic advantage.I have no clue. But I can't believe no one here has an opinion. 
Speakers help for a newb...
For a "newb" the Vandersteen 1C is an easy choice in the floor stand category.For stand mounts, look at Quad 12L2.Yes I have owned and enjoyed both.

I owned the Totem Model 1s and the Revel M20s. The Totems were only in my system for a couple of months, less than satisfying results. In fact, poor bass was the main reason for their departure.The M20s, on the other hand, were the finest stand mo...

I was going to suggest the Revel M20s also. Exceptional speakers at used price of $800-$900. 
Double Albums/CDs, curse or blessing?
Chicago Transit Authority, Chicago's first album, should also be on the list.

How bout downsizing to the Vandy 1Cs. I had the 1Cs in a small room and loved them. Traded up to the 2CEsigs which over powered the room. The 1Cs are great in small rooms. 
Silverline Reference 11 vs. PSB Imagine Bookshelf
I have owned the PSB Stratus Mini and the PSB Platinum M2 bookshelf speakers and also the Silverline SR-11s (twice). The SR-11s were the winners in my system, by a lot. They have a much more natural sound, a bit laid back but with a very real soun... 
Newsed int amp - Creek, Music Hall, Linn?
I can't say it's much to look at but the NAD C352 has a full, warm sound. 
does anyone service meadowlark speakers?
Meadowlark used fairly standard off-the-shelf components on most models. Finding replacement parts should be possible once you id the manufacturer and part number of the part. The crossovers are simple with what look like robust parts put together...

Speaker Matching with Linn Gear
I have owned several Linn products and have been happy with all but the LK-85 amp. The other Linn amp I used was the AV5105 which I really liked. I used two of them for bi-amping. The only speaker I used with less than satisfactory results was the... 
PS Audio Trio C-100 low input normal?
I used one of these about a year ago while waiting for an amp to be repaired. I don't recall needing to turn the volume up that high. Mine was the C-100 with Cullen mods though. 
XLR or SE cable?
Depends on the perspicacity of the particular reviewer.Crap, now I gotta get out the dictionary again!
