I am intrigued by the Minuets. Almost double the cost of the Bronzes. My guess is I'll keep them for a while, realize the amp deserves better. Sell at a loss and do it all over again!
Not sure why you'd guess that, and I'd strongly disagree that the Minuets may not be worthy of the Brio -- personal tastes aside of course. Many people run Minuets with considerably more than a sub-$1000 integrated and are very happy. Also keep in mind the Minuets are a relatively easy load for an amp, which is something you should consider with a 50 Wpc integrated. Case in point, before you pursue the Uni-Fi further you should read the CNET review that found an 80 Wpc amp not able to get the best out of them given the Elac's relatively low sensitivity and sub-4Ohm minimum impedance. This is one reason many of us recommend purchasing speakers before, or at least coincidentally with, an amp. All that aside, if you're concerned about losing money, Minuets do pop up here used fairly regularly so that could be another option. Hope this helps, and again, best of luck in your search.
