Silverline Speaker Opinion


Awhile back I traded for some original Silverline Menuets. It's the smallest speaker I've owned. 

After putting them in a bedroom system without a sub, I'm really enjoying them. I find myself reading and listening more opposed to watching TV in bed.

For those of you familiar with Silverline, is the Minuet similar to the rest of the Silverline lineup, or just special?

Also, what other speakers are a dead ringer for my tastes if I like the Minuet sound? I'd like to explore other options as I'm starting to understand my preferred sound. Maybe duplicate the experience in my main system. I currently use Usher floorstanders in a 15x18' room, and am happy - but curious.

I'd appreciate your opinions.

Thanks,
gary

I bought a beautiful used (Ebay) REL Q150e a few years ago (around the time I bought the Preludes) and it's all the sub most people might need…modded with a "chicken head" knob on the High Level pot so it's easier to know where it (the pot) is. The second sub is a Q108e MKII that isn't quite as powerful as the 150, but is still amazingly good...I put a chicken head knob on that one too. Both were bought for around 200 bucks each on Ebay, which I mention as I don't want my fabulous taste and Ebay scouring abilities to go unnoticed.
Hey Wolf - your impeccable taste duly noted.  Thanks for info on the RELs.  
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 about. I'd be interested to hear one someday.

Shame about the chickens though- I guess it's for the greater good.

I had some chicken heads left over from a guitar amp "knobulation" mod. Easier to see what's what, if you get my drift. Note the chicken head knobs will reflect sound differently than round knobs, but coating them with feathers will tame this issue.
