My new Tyler Acoustics MM5x's
Rpeabs,Congratulations on your new speakers.Not to hijack, but what positioning did you find best with the Usher? I own the 6311 and enjoy them. Interested in learning from others how they set them up.For instance - tow in or straight ahead, etc? ... 
Ortofon bronze PNP ALERT!!!!!
I guess I'm one of the two referred to above. My purchases aren't material to Ortofon- but I'd buy an Ortofon product again. Sounds like they just had a couple of issues with the pins, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't make it right with ...

If I may comment please, with all due respect.-The OP wrote that Ortofon admitted to the manufacturing error. -Also, he was complimenting Nelson Pass, not insulting him.If Ortofon was as concerned as some members on here for their high standing- t...

I totally agree, that's why so many businesses are struggling. The internet gives us more options and smart business owners are putting themselves in customers' shoes. A good example is Tennis Warehouse in CA. They are willing to to give me a high...

Soundsgood05,Good for you!  I'm glad they worked with you on your cartridge. It's good business on their part. I buy most audio components used and have had very, very few issues. When I purchased new I haven't considered the 'authorized dealer' i...

I'm retired from a leadership role in a manufacturing company. It's a contrast between have to and want to- the letter of the law and the spirit. If we discovered we improperly manufactured a product, which was not often thankfully, we made an att... 
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 ...

Very nice, sir!

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...

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, ...
