| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? I'm lucky I guess - my girlfriend enjoys my system. Awhile back I gave her a Bluetooth, t amp, mission standmount setup for her living room and she's rocking out every time I go to her house. We're both in our 50's. For you young guys, in my opini... | |
| Need small size speakers for fireplace. Fwiw, I recently traded for a pair of Silverline Minuets. Smallest speaker I've owned. I've been delighted with them and they are reviewed positively. The used price is probably 3-400. They are rear ported but I have read of them being used in a b... | |
| Silverline Speaker Opinion Spencer,I'm assuming the Audiopoints were used under floorstanders. Any experience using them on standmount speakers?Anyone-My Minuets are sitting on the top plate of spiked steel stands. In fact, they are resting on thin, circular foam type dots ... | |
| Silverline Speaker Opinion Very nice, sir! | |
| Silverline Speaker Opinion I don't think I've ever heard a high end sub in a 2 channel outfit. I own an SVS sound cylinder and use it in a small theater room. The sub I'm using with the Minuets is a dual 8" Mirage. It's probably okay but nothing like you guys are talking ab... | |
| Silverline Speaker Opinion Speaking of subs, I decided to try a dual 8" driver sub with the Minuets today. Sounds pretty good but I'm still adjusting things. Before inserting the sub a buddy came by and after listening told me he had to have a pair of Minuets- he was impres... | |
| Silverline Speaker Opinion Ghosthouse, Newbee,In my post I should have written rear wall and instead wrote front wall. But thanks for answering the question I should have asked!I generally position speakers in my main listening room about 1/3 of the length of the room- 6ft.... | |
| Silverline Speaker Opinion I appreciate your insight on the Plus, it sounds like it may be a good fit.If I could trouble you a little more, how far into the room did your Plus's settle to give you the stage depth you mentioned? I know rooms are different, etc, but it seems ... | |
| Silverline Speaker Opinion Ghosthouse,Great info, thanks. I feel pretty safe buying blind sometimes - no hifi dealers near me in Arkansas, unfortunately.Some of your descriptions match how I feel about the Minuets. I tried to explain to an audio buddy today how they sound, ... | |
| Silverline Speaker Opinion Thanks, Ghosthouse, glad you are enjoying them. If they are like the tiny Minuets, I bet they are awesome!I keep an eye out for the Prelude and Plus, and Newbee recommended adding some other models to the list.Maybe due to time on the market, I se... | |
| Silverline Speaker Opinion Newbee,Thanks for the info. I wondered if the Prelude and Prelude Plus would be more of the same. Not any dealers close, unfortunately. May have to plan a mini vacation/ audition. Of course I'll keep an eye out on here. I'm much more willing to ta... | |
| My Musical Fidelity amp died..What's next? I own the Anthem 225 and it easily drives my speakers (none are super power hungry) and sounds great, IMO. I went to the Anthem to simplify my setup and have been happy. May be worth an audition if you have access.Best.Gary | |
| Bowers and Wilkerson B&W 802 D3: an impolite Brit? Forgive me being non-technical, but isn't it just a matter of taste? I had some 801 s3, I didn't like them because to me they sounded good on just a few CDs. I told the buyer I didn't like them and played several average CDs for him and he loved t... | |
| Advice on using a laser for speaker positioning Stringreen, I had a pair of Vandersteen 2 ce sigs, the laser would have saved me- I used the 'plum bob' method in the manual.I'll check into that book, sgunther, thanks!Jkalman, not sure what a minoc is, but the redhead can defend the species I su... | |
| Advice on using a laser for speaker positioning I'll check out the App Store, thanks for the heads up!I rearranged my listening room and am trying different speaker positions. Currently the speakers are 6-7' apart, which is less than 'normal', and I'm enjoying the change. Any tools that make th... |
