I have Preludes as well, and agree that they are a wonderfull speaker. While certainly not a warm speaker, I don't consider it edgy either. I could see where it might sound that way with the bright electronics and/or cables. I'm using DH Labs Q10 speaker cables. I would never charactorize a Sliverline speaker as "canned." I have not heard any Monior Audio speakers... so I can't help you with a direct comparison.
Silverline's "Prelude" vs. Monitor Audio RS-6
I am moving to a smaller apartment and downsizing the system and need a compact floorstander (which I prefer over monitor on stands)I have heard the Monitor Audio RS-6 and liked them alot---they have a slim profile and fit and finish are very attractive. Silverline's Prelude is also in the running but I have not heard them because there is no SL dealer within 100 miles. Absolute Sound and Soundstage have reviewed them. Therefore, has anyone heard either or both these new speakers, or had the opportunity to compare them?? I have heard "other" Silverline models and was impressed by their overall sound, but also thought they sounded a bit edgy and the music sounded canned (The Silverline Prelude is $1200 and MA's are $1000) I am considering either a used Sim-Audio I-5 integrated amp or the Audio Refinement Complete as the drive electronics of my downsized rig.... All opinions and comments welcomed Thanks, Jim
