Recos for entry level Bookshelf speaker $400-750 for 21yo nieces first system?
I went to the Newport Beach audio show and listened to a ton of very high end speakers.  Then I came to this one room with Silverline Audio Minuet Supreme speakers.  I was blown away how such a small speaker could sound so good.  I ended up buying... 
Need Suggestions for speakers up to $15K new/used
I went to the Newport Beach Audio show in June and the best speakers I heard were the Raidho and Nola's so it is interesting that you have picked those speakers out as your favorites.  Unfortunately, the speakers they had on display were beyond my...

Silverline Speakers Minuet Supreme Plus - Sonatina MKIV
I went to the Newport Beach audio show and heard all of these speakers that I could not afford.  Then for some reason I went into the Silverline room.  I ended up going back to the room 3 times.  I really thought the sound for a 600-700 speaker wa... 
James Audio vs Triad In Wall Speakers
I still have to decide on Subs.  For the theater room if I do not use in walls, I was thinking about Powersound.  I talked to the owner and he previously created and developed the SVS line of subs before he left the company.  I am thinking they ha... 
James Audio vs Triad In Wall Speakers

Anything you liked at the Newport Show?
Most of the speakers I heard were totally a pipe dream for me.  Let me start at the low end.  With all of the buzz on Elac I had to go listen.  The room was crowded with all of the fanfare.  I am not buying the hype.  For me the sound was just ave...

I am looking at in walls for my theater room also.  I had RBH in my last theater room and they were good.  I am looking at Triad and James audio for my new theater room.  They are way more expensive than what his budget allows.  To be honest at th... 
Do female audiophiles exist

Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions
Check out Tekton Pendragon for half of your budget and a huge sound 
What are the best on-wall speakers
Legacy Silhouettes if you have the budget.  Call Legacy and talk to Bill.  Focal and Dali have some great in wall speakers and Totem Tribe would be another choice for on wall.  If money was not  an object I would definitely go with Legacy. 
Oh brother, am I in desperate need of help! 8)
Call Eric at Tekton.  I am buying the Pendragons for my theater room.  After talking to Eric your mind will be made up much easier.  I know you can't judge a speaker on You Tube, but you may just want to give the Pendragons a try just to get a sen...
